Push It

Thursday, July 17th

Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:
15 Push-ups
12 Ring dips
115 pound Push-press, 9 reps

Man, I can hear the gnashing teeth already--I'd bet that ring dips are our athletes' least favorite exercise. Here, enjoy the old-skool stylings of Salt 'n Pepa, and try not to think about it:



Post time to comments. And while you're at it, post your other least favorite exercises (so we know what to program extra often).

hiya lamonster!

so glad to hear you're working out on your own -- good for you! now, here are 2 of the most perfect exercises that you can do without any weights:

1. burpees
2. tabatas

try doing 100 burpees for time; maybe even 150 if you feel up to it. also, it would be easier if you could have someone help you time your tabata work outs. remember, it's 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest, for 4 minutes, all out. ok?

don't forget to warm-up before the workouts!

4 rounds + 2 feeble push-ups. Dropped from 95# to 85# on the push press after round 1; went to my knees on the push-ups somewhere in round 2; switched to jumping ring dips after the first 8 reps.

Sean / Sandy, can you look around the gym and see if my triceps are there? Can't seem to find them this morning.
