Warmup with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today we are going to hit a Kettlebell and Bulgarian Bag timed circuit doing as many reps as possible within each interval.  Focus on form and quality reps rather than speed.  The good news is the session is 20 minutes, the bad news is that once you start, there is no rest..

Warmup with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller. Hitting the dungeon today for a heavy bag and calisthenic training session.  If you don't have access to a heavy bag, grab two small dumbbells, or even to cans of soup to use as resistance and shadow box.  Believe me, it'll be harder than you think.

10 rounds

30 seconds heavy bag (punch, kick, elbow)
30 seconds shadow wrestling (shots, sprawls, fakes, downblocks, footwork)
20 push ups
20 sit ups
20 cossack squats

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 kettlebell / bodyweight combo.  Multiple reps to work up a sweat and get the heart pumping.  Remember to always focus on form rather than speed.  Speedy reps tend to become lousy reps as you tire.

Warmup with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today we are going to hit the BB.  Simple and effective workout by 2 time Olympian Jim Gruenwald.  It's called the Gruenwald 1000.  Check it out on www.suples.com .  It is 10 exercises in a 40-30-20-10 format.  Take rest as needed in between sets.  It is a brutal mental as well as physical test.

Jim Gruenwald's 1000 Rep Work Out

4 sets of 10 exercises with reps in order 10, 40, 30, and 20. The first set of 10 exercises done 10 times each as a warm up. After each set is done I normally take a 1-3 min break to get water. There is no stopping until the 10th exercise of each set is done.

The 10 exercises are:
1) Spins (reps are split to half each direction)
2) Snap downs
3) Good mornings (bag on shoulders)
4) Body Twist (bag on shoulders)
5) Squat jumps (bag on shoulders)
6) Military Press (long handles) (Can substitute push press with short handles)
7) Hammer Curl (Can substitute regular curls)
8) High Pulls
