Pyramid.... with an update

Warm up, Pre-hab.

# of Reps; 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1

Between each round, complete one sled pull (50 meters, 3-4 plates) -can be push or pull, you have 3 options to work with now. No need to wait in line! -Yes, 10 sled pulls.

OR if you found last week to be too much for sled pulls, switch out every second sled pull for a session on the battle ropes (10 sec. alt/10 sec. double)

Set up the timer and make sure each round gets faster. If you use "Timer 1" it will count up to 45 minutes and then start over. More Timer instructions will be posted soon, a word document is on the shared drive if you are interested now.
  • Pull-ups
  • Burpees
  • Squats  -depending on your comfort and experience, squat with a bar, DB's, a med ball, or an air squat
  • Hamstring Curls on Ball (one leg for increased difficulty) -for those who are comfortable and experienced, replace this with a Deadlift -set your weight to allow you to perform the # reps per round. FORM is key... if you're not comfortable with Deadlifts or are inexperienced, complete curls 
  • Push ups with instability -add a form of instability: feet in TRX, hands in TRX, Hands on Bosu with Round side down -there are now 2 TRX's and 2 Bosu's per hall. Again, no lines.
  • Inverted Row -under the bar, in the TRX, or if you prefer a row on the bench
  • Wall Ball -with the new balls that have come in, make sure that nothing marks the interior walls if that is where you choose to do your wall balls -also make sure the Leather balls aren't damaged by the concrete/brick if you are outside.

Finish with the so-called Polnick Plank Special:
7 rounds: 50 seconds per plank; 10 seconds between each.
Front/Side/Side

Hydrate, cool down, stretch.
