Daily Extras - Add a round to each of the couplets
Workout Notes:
Form is key on the lifts. Ideally, you'll find a weight that will cause your muscles to burn like hell during the 20 reps. Remember, you only get 4 sets so play around with the weights a little before the workout to see where you are at today.
It's not timed, but put a hurry on. If you aren't sweaty by the end, you owe me a mile.
Go a little heavy with the pull-down.
If you aren't sweaty by the time you get to the squat couplet, turn it into a goblet squat.
That V-twist/pull-down combo will be interesting. Used a 10 pullup/20 V-up combo when testing this. It was devastating. If you are feeling froggy - go ahead. Just let me know how it treated you in comments. Especially after Monday!
Suz has always inpired! Proud she let me be part of this!
