Comments Off on Lower Body Vacation Workout

So, following on to my last post, as a second workout, to keep in shape while on vacation here is the lower body version.  Could also swap Back Squats for Deadlifts.

Not for time do 3 rounds of Deadlift with the following rep scheme:

  • 5 x @ 185lbs/85kg
  • 3 x @ 205lbs/93kg
  • Max Reps @ 225lbs/102kg

Then for time do:

  • Row 2k
  • 50 x Box Jumps
  • 50 x Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg
  • 50 x Air Squats

Results:   For the max reps DL did 6 reps. Metcon in 17:00 (50 Air Squats are way easier than 50 pushups)
