Warmup with joint mobility dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today we are going to hit a kettlebell chipper.  Each exercise will be performed 50-40-30-20-10 reps.  So tons of volume today.  Don't worry, no burpees ;-).. This is a fast efficient way to get a ton of work completed in short amount of time.  Pick 3-4 movements and get after it.  As always, never sacrifice form for speed.  If you need to stop and take a break, do so..

50-40-30-20-10

Kettlebell Hi-Pull-Catch-Press
Bodyweight Squats

Warm up with joint mobility and dynamic movement.  Strength day today. One movement. Longer rest, short reps, heavier weight. Warm up that posterior chain well, dead lifts today as well as the rest of your body.  The dead lift is an exercise that you perform daily probably without even realizing it.

10 sets of 3
70% of your max (for example if your max is 100 pounds workout with 70 pounds for 10 sets of 3)
5 burpees after each set
2 minutes rest in between sets

5 sets of 30/30
speed sets (run hard for 30 seconds / jog for 30 seconds)

Cool down, have a nice day.. El Rey and Manny always..

Warmup with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today we are going to hit a workout that a buddy of mine gave me from his Crossfit group.  You will need a timer.  You simply set the clock for 1 minute, and then perform a series of exercises.  If you complete the exercises before the 1 minute elapses, then you get to rest.  Get ready, because when the minute timer buzzes you are off and going again.  Essentially, it pays to be a winner.  Once again, do not sacrifice speed for form..  We will put a FIST stamp on this by using the BB.

Every minute on the minute for 15 minutes

5 BB Thruster 
5 BB Hi-Pulls
5 BB Snap Downs

Gut exercises, handstand holds, back bridges..

Cool down, have a nice day.. El Rey and Manny always..

Warm up with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today is very simple.  Right out of the USMC PT book.  All you need is a little time, and a pull up bar.  This is a pretty difficult challenge.  It might not seem like much at first, but 4 sets in you will start to wonder.  Of course, you will forge ahead until the work is completed.  Warm up those shoulders, lats, and legs..

5 sets of :

20 pull ups
40 push ups
60 squats

OR

10 sets of :

10 pull ups
20 push ups
30 squats

Cool down, have a nice day...  El Rey always..

Warmup with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today we are going down to the dungeon for some get ups and heavy bag work.  Short reps with a heavy bell, and quick bag rounds will surely put the hammer down upon us.  Make sure you are focusing on form rather than speed with the TGU.  Jason C. Brown goes through the basic progression here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJYa1B24U-M
If you don't have access to a heavy bag, shadow box.

10 rounds

45 seconds heavy bag
3 TGUs L/R
5 burpees

Cool down, have a nice day...  El Rey and Manny always.

You can utilize single kettlebell or doubles (singles go a bit heavier doubles moderate)
