Danny – BW Workout

Burpee w/Pull Up

 
 

Burpee = Full, ass-to-heel squat, plank out, push up, back to full squat, slight jump up to pull up bar, 1 pull up.

 
 

:30 on / :30 off x 15 Rounds

Avg. 5 RPR

 
 

It doesn't look like much, but my lungs were on fire! It's interesting how BW exercise can kick your ass just as much as weights. :30 of rest starts to go by quick, once you get to the last half of the workout. This was a true, total-body workout.


 

*Thought for the day: 'Train movements, not muscles'

*We really need to get back to Timed Sets! This was pretty tough. My left pinky finger started to form a blister in the 2nd round of Snatches; had to set the bell down for about :15. My hands need to get re-conditioned.

This workout will work perfectly with my new diet plan.

Clean & Jerks felt much better.
