Using a Barbell, perform the following 4 exercises back to back, descending in reps each round. Once you start, you cannot drop the barbell. No weight on the bar is recommended, add a 5 or 10 to each side for an additional challenge.
The four exercises are Shoulder Press, Upright Row, Bent Row and Curls. Perform a round of 10 reps, followed immediately by 7 reps each, then 4 and finally 1.
Coach’s Notes
I’ve done this workout with injured athletes at practice for years. I would take the guys who could not practice (but could do push-ups), and we would start at the goal line and do one push-up.
We walked forward to the 5-yard line and did 2 push-ups. We continued working up all the way down the field and then worked back down to 1 as we returned down the field. It’s an incredibly challenging workout that leaves you feeling accomplished and JACKED up!
