Motivation…


 

Today's workout will be a little bit math-intensive. It's three rounds of bodyweight deadlifts followed by Turkish get-ups. Here's how the reps/load will work:


 

Round 1:

  • Max reps BW DL in 3 minutes
  • 10 TGU per arm @ (100-Reps DL)lbs

Round 2:

  • Max Reps BW DL in 4 minutes
  • 10 TGU per arm @ (100-Reps DL)lbs

Round 3:

  • Max Reps BW DL in 5 minutes
  • 10 TGU per arm @ (100-Reps DL)lbs

Round all loads up to the nearest 5lbs


 

Explanation: Load up a bar with your bodyweight (rounded up to the nearest 5) and perform as many deadlifts as possible in the time given. Subtract the number of reps performed from 100. This number (rounded up to the nearest 5) is the weight of the DB to use for the Turkish Get-ups for that round.


 

Post loads and overall times to comments.

That was one demented torture fest of a workout. Thanks Justin.

All Deadlifts at BW - 195#
Round 1, DL: 31 reps, TGU at 70# - 9:58
Round 2, DL: 35 reps, TGU at 65# - 23:40
Round 3, DL: 40 reps, TGU at 60# -
37:58

I don't think I'd done TGU heavier than 55# before, so 70# is a PR for 1, let alone 20 reps.
