Bench Press, Pullups and Lunges, then Assault Bike and Sled Pushes

Joined Lisa at her gym for a drop in visit.

3 rounds of

  • 5 x Bench Press @ 65%
  • 6 x Ring Pullups
  • 12 x Walking Lunges @ 16kg per Hand

Then 3 rounds of

  • 10 Calorie Assault Bike
  • 50m Sled Push with 90lbs

Results: Used 135lbs for the Bench Press. The rest as prescribed. Assault Bike and Sled Push were a nice change since I don’t have these at home.

Dips and Kettlebells followed by a Tabatta

Every 2 minutes do as many rounds and reps as possible until you cannot complete all reps in a round:

  • 10 x Ring Dips
  • 20 x Kettlebell Swings @ 70lbs/32kg

Then for total calories do 20/10 tabata on the assault bike followed by a second 20/10 tabata for total reps of double unders.

Results:  For the first part, did 6 rounds plus 19 reps (10 dips and 9 KB swings).  For the assault bike, 43 calories.  For the DUs, 154.
