Tuesday AMRAP

AMRAP - what in the world is AMRAP? As Many Rounds As Possible in a given period of time. The idea behind it is simple: 2 people doing the same workout, one will complete it faster than another. The one who completes it faster is in better shape. Example - one runner can run a mile in 4 minutes, the other can run it in 10 minutes. Their bodies are quite different.

The same thing goes for any other exercise routine. This is what I did with the guys last night. You will see at the beginning is a triplet. You do this triplet 3 times before moving on to the next exercise, then the next. After you have finished all that, start over. Everyone said this workout was really tough but fun!

AMRAP SUPERSET:

three rounds of the triplet below

5 pullups

10 pushups

15 squats

then

3 deadlift 115# (barbell)

then

100m farmer carry (40# dumbbells)

Since above is 1 superset, complete as many supersets as possible in 20 minutes.

Taylor, Evan, Ryan and myself all completed 5 supersets in 20 minutes. Alex nearly got to 4 which is GREAT for him. He has been with us only a couple months and is making incredible gains and losing weight. Alex wants to lose another 20-30 pounds of excess body fat. He is always at the workouts tries very hard.
