3/1/09 - today's workout

Today’s workout:

Really getting into kettelbells again. My gym has several sets along with a climbing rope and many other cool toys to play with. Modeled workout on Team Quest barbell circuit,

Used two 36lbers for the workout

3 rounds of 6 reps of:
bent over rows
power cleans
military press
squat press (thrusters)
staggered squats
swings (with one dumbbell)
1 rope climb with no legs

rested a minute between rounds. Shoulders felt pretty tired by the end and I want to ease into this. Long term goal is 6 sets with 1 minute rest.

After this did two rounds of
Close grip pushups on medicine ball x 15
Turkish getups with 26lb kettlebell – 3/arm

And finally 1 set of leg blasters (first learned about these from JC Santana’s website). All exercises back to back with no rest.
Free squats – 24
Lungers – 24
Jumping lunges – 24
Jump squats – 12
Would like to build up to 3 rounds non stop on this.

Overall goals are to increase metabolic conditioning capabilities as to really get my jiu jitsu to the next level, I need to not be afraid of getting tired. I don’t have the size to really be lazy. Feel good and energized like I could do more, but like the idea of leaving some gas in the tank for next time.
