Monday - "Jonesworthy"

Today, we'll be doing our take on a Gym Jones workout called "Jonesworthy." There are a couple of versions of this workout going around, but we're going to do it a little something like this:



20, 16, 12, 9, 6, 3 Rep Rounds for Time

  • x1 Pull Ups
  • x2 DB Swings (pick your weight)
  • x3 Squats

Since I hate doing math while I'm working out, I'll go ahead and lay out the rep rounds:

Round 1: 20 pull-ups, 40 swings, 60 squats
Round 2: 16 pull-ups, 32 swings, 48 squats
Round 3: 12 pull-ups, 24 swings, 36 squats
Round 4: 9 pull-ups, 18 swings, 27 squats
Round 5: 6 pull-ups, 12 swings, 18 squats
Round 6: 3 pull-ups, 6 swings, 9 squats
Round 7: vomit
Round 8: die

(Rounds 1-6 are mandatory. 7 and 8 are optional.)

Pace yourself. This looks like it could be a long ride.

Results:
  • Seth - 16:24, 40# DB swings
  • Melanie - 17:44, 25# DB swings, sub jumping pull-ups
  • James - 18:44, 40# DB swings first 2.5 rds, sub push-ups rds 3-6
  • Laura - 20:47, 25# DB, sub jumping pull-ups
  • Jason - 27:53, 55# DB swings

  • Everyone wisely stopped after Round 6.

I don't know what was up with my lower back. It was so tight after two rounds that I had to sub the rest of the swings with pushups. I know that pushups aren't the best sub for swings, but I was winded enough at that point that I didn't really care.

27:53 - 55# db swings

Damn Jason! I had enough trouble with the 40# swings. Good job with the 55#.

My legs are still not right from all those squats.

Wow, that was a rough comeback for me. I wouldn't have mind just skipping to round 7.

Ooops. I mean round 8.
