Gauntlet Workout C

CLICK HERE FOR A FREE WORKOUT! www.turbulencetraining.com This is the TT Gauntlet Workout C. This is the 5, 10, 15 program. There are 6 exercises in this workout. What you are going to do is go through 5 circuits of this program. The first time through, you are going to do 5 repetitions per exercise, the second time through will be 10 repetitions and the third time will be 15 repetitions. Next, you’ll go back to 10 repetitions and then finally, 5 repetitions. This is called a ladder pyramid style. The first exercise is a kettlebell snatch. You will start out doing 5 reps per side the first time through. In week 1, I recommend you only go through 5, 10 & 15 or even just 5 & 10. Always give yourself a nice easy workout in the first week of any program because you don’t want to be too sore. Swing the kettlebell back, drive up and punch. Switch hands and do 5 on the other side. Once you are done with those, move right into 5 vertical jumps. Hands are either in a prisoner hold, down at your sides or straight up. Next, move into T-pushups (5 on each side) alternating sides. You always want to do a warmup before you start, but the 5 reps is a good warmup in itself. We’re going to hit the upper body some more with regular chin-ups with an underhand grip. If you are in the 15 rep round and you can’t do them straight, you might just do them in chunks until you are at 15. Next move into prisoner forward lunges. Putyour hands up behind your head, step forward and drive back up. You …
Gauntlet Workout A

CLICK HERE FOR A FREE WORKOUT! www.turbulencetraining.com This is TT Gauntlet Workout A. We are going to pair exercises together, but you will do one of the exercises twice. I’m doing this because the definition of a gauntlet is running through a column and being beaten. You will have column A exercises, move to column B exercise and then back to A. The first is a shuttle sprint for 20 seconds. Move immediately into 25 reps of prisoner squats with your hands interlaced behind your head with your elbows back. Move immediately back into shuttle sprints for 20 seconds. For you second pairing, you are going to do pull-ups, pushups and then pull-ups. You are going to do 80% of your maximum repetitions (you don’t want to go to failure). For example, if you can only do 10 pull-ups, you will do 8 pull-ups. If you can do 40 pushups, do 32 and then go back and do 8 pull-ups. For the pull-up, place your hands in an overhand grip with themslightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Bring your chest up and slowly lower down. Move immediately or with as little rest as possible into regular pushups at 80% of your maximum reps. Go back to pull-ups and repeat the number you did before the pushups (80%). The next exercise pairing, you will do a 1-leg bench squat. Start by standing on the bench and drop your foot off to the side and then back up. This will really get your glute. You can also do a 1-leg squat by lowering onto a bench and then back up. Do 10 reps on one side and then switch to …
