We’re going to max out on deadlifts, but using 25 pound plates so the bar is lower. For the big boys that will end up filling the bar with 25’s, ya might want to lift from a platform instead. Put some plates under your feet.
Pull from pins. Go heavy, low reps. 3-4 sets.
Pullups/bent rows: Heavy. […]
No matter what other wonderful things you plan for today’s workout, throw in this little gem:
30 seconds of burpees/30 seconds of planks non-stop for several minutes.
5 minutes = bold
10 minutes = delicious
Can’t a man do a plank without being sat on around here? The big black blob entering the picture on the right is Chewy the […]
It has been scientifically proven through numerous studies that the absolute best thing to do when returning from a long weekend involving a big dead bird and too much football is to max out on box squats. The physiology behind it is too complicated to explain so just accept it as fact.
Max Box Squats: Go […]
The temptation to sloth it today was grand, following a pattern set yesterday, but thankfully the gym bekoned.
Today’s workout has a little vanity hidden amongst some serious grip and pull work. Once in a while those biceps want some attention, so we slipped in a couple movements for the mirrors.
3 combos of two exercises each:
Heavy […]
If anyone has ideas of how to correlate an Altman film with a Bodytribe workout, let me know. My first thought was calling it the Suicide is Painless Challenge, but you never know who you’ll piss off in this day and age.
So, at the end of today’s workout, we’ll have the Player Challenge. But first:
It’s a good […]
Starting off with a good little squat workout, we’ll end with some serious attention on the hams.
Heavy overhead squats. 10 sets of 3 (yes, like last week). With chains if you’d like.
Heavy KB squat walks. With kettlebells racked on your shoulders, take a step into a squat, repeat up and back about 30 feet. 3sets.
Glute-ham […]
The Love Challenge
So full of love, you’ll cry.
Pick 3 exercises. Use a moderate weight, a little on the heavy side.
Hard: 10 reps, 8 reps, 6 reps., etc until you’re at a single rep. Non-stop through all three exercises.
Insane: 10,9,8,7,6, etc. down to one.
Time it, because someday soon, you’ll do it again.
Some suggestions…
Pullups
Bar thrusts
Leverage […]
Bench max. Simple. Heavy.
Then try out this bad boy: Take a sand bag (although a barbell will work if you’re really careful). Latch it to the pull up bar on your squat rack (we use the straps from our sled). Walk out with it at arms length and then explosively press it (see pictures below). Absorb […]
Monday usually means squats at Bodytribe, and today is no exception.
Overhead squats will be the lift o’ the day, and we’re going to do heavy triples.
So, overhead squats. Heavy. 10 sets of 3.
Hang cleans, with deep drops (full squat). 4 sets of 6 (yeah, we’re on a bit of a clean streak recently. Our goal […]
Max out on deadlifts. Go on! See what you can do.
Then practice your cleans. Full cleans or hang. 3 sets of 4-6.
The gather a bunch of heavy objects in a pile. We’ll use sandbags. Grab a pair of kettlebells as well.
KB bent rows/KB high pulls followed by grabbing each sandbag (we’ve got 6 of them) […]
