Get that BSN AMINO-X ready! You are going to need it for this challenging circuit!
We FINALLY got to open the garage door last night and use the sled! YEAH! It was intense!
If you don’t have a sled, you can always replace it with dumbbell walking lunges. The goal was to burn the quads and either exercise will do.
Circuit 1: 4 rounds – 15 reps per exercise (Complete as fast as possible)
- Close-Grip Bench (155lbs)
- Deadlift (225lbs
- Dumbbell Lateral Raise (15lbs)
- Barbell Upright Row (65lbs)
- 30ft Sled Push (4 times) (50lbs)
It’s been so long since we have been able to use the sled outside I almost forgot how fun it was! But we need to get out there with a leaf blower to try and get all the small pebbles out of the way. Although, they do make the sled push much more challenging!
The goal with this circuit was to work on muscle endurance and complete all 4 rounds as fast as possible!
I usually put only 4 exercises in my circuits to keep them simple, yet effective. But I wanted to toss in an extra exercise to give myself a bit more trap work as I am trying to hit them twice a week. One day is traps specific where on the other day, like this circuit, I go for a superset and aim for high volume.
After this circuit, we completed 3 rounds of an ab circuit as well.
Circuit 2: 3 rounds – 15 reps per exercise (Complete as fast as possible)
If you don’t have an ab wheel, you can substitute the exercise for a V-Up.
This workout should take you about an hour max. Tear it up and let me know how you do Nation! #HTH #SHFAthlete
