Here’s another video of a CFW member’s accomplishment.  Maybe the timing is bad, since he’s in Hawaii right now, but somehow I think he’ll get around to watching it…  Way to go Steve!!!

B.

Half tabata mountain climbers
Tabata Single leg glute bridge (alternate legs each round)*
Half tabata grasshoppers
Tabata N-ups

* Glute bridges will be at a slower tempo to be done correctly. Aim for 3-4 controlled reps per round. Learn to activate your glute vs. arch your back.

Real Food Challenge Day 1

Workout of the Day

“Tabata Diane Mash-Up”

For 20 seconds do as many reps of deadlift as you can. Rest 10 seconds. For 20 seconds do as many reps of hand stand push ups as you can. Rest 10 seconds. Repeat this 7 more times for a total of 8 sets of each exercise. Your score is counted by total number of reps in 16 rounds.

Workout of the Day

“Tabata This”

20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest repeated 8 times, applied in turn to the Squat, Rower, Pullups, Sit-ups, and Push-ups with a one minute rotation break between exercises. Each exercise is scored by the weakest number of reps (calories on the rower) in each of the eight intervals. During the one minute rotation time allowed the clock is not stopped but kept running. The score is the total of the scores from the five stations.

going overhead

A. C&J heavy single; 85% of that 3×1

B. Back Squat 3×3 or 3×5 (increase by 5#)
The idea here is to increase either your 3RM or your 5RM. If you, for example, last did 225 for 3 sets of 5, but you aren’t feeling ready to do 230 for 3 sets of 5, do 230 for 3 sets of 3.

C. Tabata Pushups

D. Accumulate 75 seconds in L-hang. Begin every set with a straight-leg lift to L.

Pulling High

Deadlift. Find your 5RM.

Tabata:
Pushups
Situps
Squats
Burpees

Finish with accumulated 60 seconds in embedded L sit.
