Ring Rows and V-Ups with some Dumbbell Snatches, Rows, Thrusters and Reverse Lunges

Taken from Heatherblackfit’s Instagram feed…

AMRAP in 20 minutes using only one Dumbbell for each. I think the spirit of the workout is to use only one weight too, but that would have meant too little or too much weight for certain movements. Therefore, I tailored the weight to the movement.

  • 15 x Dumbbell Snatch Each Arm @ 16kg
  • 20 x Alternating Weighted Single Leg V-Up (each leg is a rep) @ 5kg

  • 15 x Dumbbell Thrusters Each Arm @ 12kg
  • 20 x Alternating Weighted Single Leg V-Up
  • 10 x Ring Rows
  • 15 x Reverse Lunges Each Leg @ 16kg
  • 20 x Alternating Weighted Single Leg V-Up

For each of the rounds with 15 reps, do all reps on one side, then switch to the other for a total of 30 reps. For the lunges stick with one leg for all reps too… dumbbell in left hand, left leg steps back all 15 reps.

Results: 1 round plus 60 reps.
