Harder to Kill: January 4th, 2017

American Grit’s daily workouts are 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.  Being Harder to Kill isn’t just about lasting longer in a gunfight: it’s about becoming healthier, stronger and more resilient mentally and physically.

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: Thursday and Sunday are rest days.  There will not be a workout posted on those days.

• Strength: 
  • 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 of
    • close-grip bench press
    • close-grip pullups (or pullup assist)
  • 3 x 12 DB incline bench press
  • 3 x 8 barbell bentover rows
  • 4 x 10 tricep pushdowns
  • 4 x 10 hammer curls
  • “Run the rack” DB shrugs-start with heavy dumbbells and complete as many shrugs as possible, then re-rack them and move to the next lightest dumbbells and continue until you reach the lightest dumbbells on the rack.
• Conditioning: 10 minutes of light exercise bike/elliptical.  Just enough to get the heart rate up a little bit.
