Challenging Routine I Tried...

All-

You may have seen a few of my posts on this forum, I'm a 37 year old father of three.  Being limited on time, I try to make my workouts as effective as possible.

I still deadlift and bench very heavy once a week, but for the most part I have moved towards more Crossfit types of workouts, including the 300 workout.

Sooo…here is a little routine I created myself, that me and my workout partner tried. Took us 35 minutes, this was our first time trying it.

Repeat circuit 3x:

  1. Run 1/4 mile on treadmill at 3.0 incline fast as possible. Took us about 1:45 each time at 9.5 speed.

  2. 30 dips.

  3. 20 pullups. (had to break this down into sets).

  4. 20 lunge presses with 25lb dumbbells (10 each leg).

  5. Row 400m on the rowing machine (about 2 minutes).

Repeat 2 more times, 3 circuits total.

So you end up doing 90 dips, 60 pull-ups, 60 lunge presses, and around 12 minutes of high-intensity cardio.

All in about 30 minutes.

Tell you what…this was a KILLER workout.

Thoughts.

Sounds like you enjoyed it - which seems to me to be reason enough to keep doing it.

That treadmill part would probably give me an aortic vapor lock though.
