Don't Have Much Time?!?!

Hey all!

I am just about to head out to train my last guy of the day but wanted to tell you about a Hard Corp workout I did today!! I had a guy cancel this morning so I found myself with an opportunity to do a really quick workout....I wanted to do something that would be good for the cardio as I have the Fight For Air Climb coming up in about 10 days but I have to incorporate the weights...so here's what I did!

Dead Lifts with 135lbs
Regular bodyweight pushups
Wide grip pullups

Doesn't seem like much but here's where the ass kicking begins!

I did 20 Dead lifts....then 20 pushups......then 10 pullups
rested for about a minute
Then.....19 dead lifts......19 pushups.....then 9 pullups

You can see where this is going!!!
I wish I could say I was in shape enough to continue this all the way down to 1 but I didn't!
I got down to and through 15 on the dead lifts!
Then I did the pushups down to 10 and the pullups down to 1

Grand Totals
105 Dead Lifts w/ 135lbs
155 Pushups
55 Pullups
Total Time: 30 minutes

Let me know how you feel when you do this and how far down the pyramid you can go!

Get Lean. Get Strong. Get Hard Corp.

Developing even more explosiveness!!!

Here is another way that I was able to change up my workout! Instead of doing the regular old bench press that so many of us are used to...I took an exercise band and attached it to my bar so that it added more weight and tension, (not sure exactly how much), but it definitely gave it a whole new kick!!!
What this does is helps provide tension, different from just using weights, that is uneven throughout the lift. At the top the band provides the most tension, then gets easier as the weight comes down, then vice verse as the weight comes up. This is great to help people develop strength throughout the entire lift, which can help you get past those stick points. It also forces you to concentrate more on your eccentric (or in this case your downward) movement as you have to lower the weight a lot slower and keep in control!


Make sure you start out with a lower weight than you normally use and ensure you have a spotter the first time you try this as it is very different!

Become more explosive!!!

Want a sure fire way to increase the intensity of your workouts and develop explosiveness?

Try turning your everyday exercises into muscle building explosive movements that are sure to leave you feeling sore and out of breath!

Here is an example of a workout that Sarah and I did together. Instead of just doing every exercise for a predetermined amount of reps we performed each exercise for as many as we could in 30 seconds. After we completed the set then the next person went, therefore limiting our amount of recovery time! This is an awesome way of really dialing up the intensity!!!







Be careful when doing this as it is an advanced move and you have to ensure that you can perform pushups with perfect form before trying this!
