Did this workout this morning!


3 Rounds of each Couplet 45 sec. max effort/ 15 sec. rest+ Pyramid break


Couplet 1

  1. Alternating Reverse Lunge (35 lbs.) (16, 18, 17)
  2. Roundabout Kettlebell Swing (35 lbs.) (25, 27, 26)

Pyramid Level 1 – You can choose different reps if you want to do more (or less) – tailor it to your ability, but always add a little challenge!

  • Pull-Ups x 3 reps
  • Double KB Military Press x 8reps (2x 25 lbs.) (you can do single presses if you wish)

Couplet 2

  1. Suitcase Deadlift Burpee (2 x 35lbs.) (10, 8, 8)
  2. Weighted Dynamic Squat (15 lbs.) (23, 20, 23)

Pyramid Level 2 – note how Pull-Ups increase my 1 rep, but Presses by 2. That’s because Pull Ups are harder.

  • Pull-Ups x 5 reps
  • Military Press x 10 reps (2 x 25 lbs.)

Couplet 3

  1. Alternating Single Leg Hip Thrust (12, 10, 12 ) These were a challenge due to using a coffee table and low bench that kept sliding on the floor.......That's my story and I'm sticking to it! ;}
  2. Weighted Side to Side Step Ups (15 lbs.) (16, 20, 21) Same story as above... had to stack to benches for height... lol...Anyone want to buy me 6-8 more risers for my bench?? My birthday is coming up...lol

Pyramid Level 1

  • Pull-Ups x 4 reps
  • Military Press x 8 reps (2× 25 lbs.)

Couplet 4

  1. Renegade Row (2 x 35 lbs) (14, 10, 11)
  2. Burpees (15, 14, 13)

DONE!
