Hi everyone!
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends 😀
Today’s workout has returned to another favorite design of mine … Couplets and Bridging exercises. With a great mix of strength and condition you will see better results in your overall performance than any other type of home workouts. For full body conditioning 3 or 4 exercises simply won’t cut it. You need balance! Like I discussed the other day in my Super-Set Workout (granted it was a bad day) I was still illustrating how important it is to balance your workout between muscles groups. This is what I try to achieve with each workout, whether there are 2 exercises or 10 🙂
The Workout
Firstly Set your Gymboss Interval Timer for 6 cycles of 15 seconds recovery and 45 seconds effort and complete 3 rounds of each couplet before performing 1 set of the bridging exercise:
My reps per exercise and weights used are in brackets.
Couplet 1
- Double KB Suitcase Deadlift (2x20kg) (14, 12, 11)
- Burpees (14, 13, 11)
- Weighted Pull Up (6kg) x 1
- BW Pull Up x 2 🙁 – these were tough today!
Couplet 2
- Double KB Bent Over Row (2x14kg then 2x16kg) (14, 13, 10)
- Double KB Push Press (2x14kg) (13, 10, 10)
- Weighted Pull Up (6kg) x 1
- BW Pull Up x 2
Couplet 3
- Alternating KB Deficit Reverse Lunge (2x14kg then 1 x 24kg) (11, 8, 7)
- Two-Handed KB Swing (20kg then 24kg) (33, 32, 30)
- BW Pull Ups x 2 🙁 Disappointing!
So that’s it for today, hope you enjoy the workout and you all have a great day!
