Workout:
As many rounds as possible for 20 minutes
Then we ended with a really tiring but awesome upper body partner rotation:
One partner benched while the other spotted and then switched. Then immediately we went to the curl bar and did 10 reps as fast as possible and when partner 1 was done then partner 2 took the bar and did 10 reps as well and then go immediately back to the bench. Repeat this 3-4 times!
Usually run with a friend outdoor on Sunday mornings, but it was cold and rainy! Instead, we went inside and ran through some stairs for 20 minutes. Then, we went to the weight room and did 4 rounds of this circuit:
Today I jumped into this circuit:
x 5 rounds
Warm up:
10:00 running clock, bench as many reps as you can switching off with a partner when you can no longer bench anymore. Today, my partner and I used the bar and I got 133, so more than last time!

It was 6 sets total with all the benching at the beginning. This was a harder one to complete today because my arms were dead so once we got to the heavier benches my arms were shot! Good workout though!
Today we did another whistle lift workout:
8 back squats with a 2 second hold at the bottom of the squat
8 dead lifts
x6-8 sets
8 bench press with a 2 second hold at the bottom
8 high pulls
x5 sets
Today’s workout was awesome!!!
We started with doing as many bench presses as possible in 10 minutes. My partner and I just benched with the bar. The idea was to bench press the bar as much as possible until you started slowing down. When you were noticeably slower and couldn’t keep up the pace, you switched with your partner until they tired out as well. We continued this process for 10 minutes and the idea is to try and get to 100. If you made 100, then the next time you do it you add weight. I got 126 with the bar for my first time doing this workout so will add weight next time!
After our arms were already incredibly dead, the trainer tacked on an upper body circuit to add to the pain! We did 21’s with the curl bar, which was 7 lower half curls, 7 upper half curls and 7 full curls. Then 10 push ups. Then an incline fly press. Then 3 jerks.
We ended with the bar core routine again from the last post. Loved this workout!
