Ok, so I know I say this many times but this is without a doubt my favorite workout of all time. Here is why:
1. You can do a repetitive amount of pull-ups and push-ups - the two coolest exercises out there
2. You will be totally pumped at the end
3. You will be dripping sweat
4. It rules
In all seriousness, this workout will give any level a run for your money. I will show you how to augment it below but the focus should be on trying your best through-out the workout. You can always go down or up a level midway so adjust accordingly. An important part of this workout is to switch up your grips for both exercises. Not only will this target additional muscle groups but it will keep you interested!
** You will be performing 20 exercise of push-ups and pull-ups. Each set aim for 15 - 20 push-ups and 6 - 10 pull-ups. Use the below options to tailor your workout to your level. **
Level 1: Moderate
A. Push-ups - Do on your knees or against a wall. When you can no longer do a push-up, hold a plank for the seconds matching your remaining reps.
B. Pull-ups - Use a lat pull down machine. When you can no longer do reps, hold the bar in the down position for the seconds matching your remaining reps.
Level 2: Difficult
A. Push-ups - Do straight push-ups. Get 15 - 20 reps each time. Rest in the up position if you need to muscle out those last few.
B. Pull-ups - Straight pull-ups. When you can no longer do reps, hang from the pull-up bar until failure.
Level 3: Most Difficult
You will do 20 sets of Burpees to pull-ups. This will absolutely shred you. Do 10 reps each set for 200 total. If you can complete this, I will be impressed.
Remember to choose an appropriate workout. If you choose one level this time - aspire to hit the next level in the near future.
Have Fun!
