Routines of the Day – Sunday and Monday
Posted by bradinator in Fitness, Routines on November 30, 2009
Sunday -I watched a video of a very similar routine on Crossfits website.
Warm Up – 3 Rounds of 30 reps each (Finished in 3:56)
- Pushups
- Situps
- Squats
Routine – Complete for Time (Finished in 7:22, w/12 lbs training vest)
15-12-9-6-3 Burpee into Thrusters (Barbell #25)
25-20-15-10-5 Pullups
These are done 15 Burpee, 25 Pullup, 12 Burpee, 20 Pullup… 3 Burpee, 5 Pullup
Cash Out – As many rounds in 10 minutes as you can of (Finished 6 rounds with 19 seconds to spare)
- 10 Dands
- 10 Gluteham Situps
- 10 Overhead Barbell Squats (25lbs)
Though this was a quick workout, it was pretty tiring and difficult to do. The Barbell Burpee Thruster exercise is difficult to imagine, but its just as it sounds – A pushup on the barbell, a squat thrust in, a small clean of the barbell to you shoulder (you will be in a sitting/squating position) and a jump plus a thruster into the final position. You can check out the routine here if your not sure. Its a great exercise though I found that the overall form became very sloppy at high repetitions.
Monday - Just another early morning routine to kick start the day. I am sure I pulled something in my lat, because the pullups yesterday were bugging me. I believe this week may be a pullup-free week.
Warm Up – Building the Burpee – Complete 3 Rounds of 20 reps each (Finish in 5:21)
- Pushups
- Squat Thrusts
- Squats
- Jumping Jacks
- Burpees
