Workout Notes:
Let’s st
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 an extra mile.
Don't be afraid to play with the weight on that standing mid row.
If you aren't sweaty by the time you get to the squat couplet, turn it into a goblet squat.
That V-twist/mid row 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.
