I'm not really sure why I like to combine exercises so much, maybe it's because I think it's cool to confuse the shit out of all the other gym patrons by doing wacky crap. Time for another complex!!
EXERCISES
- Burpull – Burpee to pull-up . Leap out of the bottom of the squat of the burpee to grab a pull-up bar and perform one pull-up. If your pull-up bar is not very high, substitute one full burpee followed by one full pull-up per rep.
WORKOUT
FOR TIME
If you've never done TGU before, be careful. The transition from sitting to lying on the downward portion of the movement can lead to high speed dumbbell/face collision if not controlled carefully. If 45lbs is difficult to control, GO DOWN! More instruction on TGU can be found here here, here and here.
(Note: dropping the complex down to 35lbs for safety reasons. It's awful hard to safely stabilize 45lbs for the mills after doing snatches.)
RESULTS
justin - 33:15
Jason - 39:13
Shiloh - 27:49 (no windmills, see comments)

33:15. dropping the rx down to 35, as 45 was a retarded decision in the first place. I didnt even make it through my 'test rep' with the 45.
39:13. used 35#DB for the 1st rep and knew it would be too much to do it all. scaled back to 25# for the rest. my elbow hurts.
40 lb DB, but didn't do the windmills (couldn't rotate shoulders to do the motion even with no weight)
27:49
Yeah, getting that shoulder mobility takes a while. Seems like the more time you've spent doing the standard bodybuilding, bench bench bench routine, the longer it takes. Took me forever.
Excellent work, guys!
