Harder To Kill: 11/22/2016

Categories: Fitness, Harder to Kill

No excuses. Do the work.

American Grit Fitness is designed to make you harder to kill.

We combine old-school weightlifting with new-school strength and conditioning principles in order to maximize your time spent inside (or outside) the gym. You’ll squat, run, jump and throw weight around to ultimately become a faster, fitter you.

If it’s your first day here, jump in and hit the workout, or start from Day 1 of this cycle.  Either way, you’ll see strength, speed and stamina gains.

Note: “Sets” and “reps” are denoted as 5×5, 6×10, etc.   The first number is the number of sets and the second number is the number of repetitions performed per set.

Day 2

• Warmup: Perform these four movements for 1 minute each at your own pace, no rest:
  • Broad Jumps
  • Bear crawl
  • Crab Walk
  • Flutter Kicks
• Conditioning: 
  • As many rounds as possible in three minutes of

10 Burpees

10 Deadlifts 135/95

Repeat 3 times.  Score is the lowest number of repetitions completed in any 3-minute round.  Rest 3 minutes between rounds.

• Strength (Optional):
  • 3 x superset: 12 glute bridges (see video) with 12 weighted situps.
  • Suns out, guns out: superset 3 x 12 of hammer curls with 3 x 12 tricep pushdowns.
