Well after about a week of inactivity I had to blow off some steam. Tonight, I pushed myself to the brink of puking (but fortunately, not quite over the line). As I type this my head feels like it is going to explode and the exercise migraine is at its peak, but I had to share my efforts with all of you.
The workout consisted of the following:
- 8 x 3-minute rounds of skipping, with 30 seconds rest between rounds;
- Tabata 24″ box jumps wearing a 20lbs vest (my worst round was 8 reps);
- 100 reps of 135lbs squats for time (my time was 6:52);
- 100 reps of ab-mat sit-ups for time (my time was 5:49).
All the above was done in succession with no rest between exercises. Total time from start to finish was about 45 minutes. I’m exhausted and ready for a beer (LOL!).
I just tried the century exercises on a whim but after tonight I’m going to start to train for 100 reps on a series of exercises. My plans are to create a workout called the Centurion. It will be 100 reps of each of the following for time: Pull-ups, sit-ups, push-ups, box jumps, and 135lbs squats. Forget the 300! Let’s make it the Indy 500… well I need a goal to train for, so here it is.
I’ll be posting my times as the weeks progress. Check back for updates and my video diary starting Monday.
