Given the summer heat you might want to do this workout early in the morning or later in the day once the temperature drops. Have fun and be sure to stay hydrated!

Adjustments: This workout shouldn’t require much scaling, as you can use what tools you have at your disposal and there aren’t any super challenging bodyweight movements. If you don’t have a barbell, lift kettlebells, dumbbells, or a sandbag. That said, the “T” style push-ups might be a little hard, so there are a few ways to work up to them. You can either move in and out of the T rotation from a simple plank, or you can elevate your torso with your hands on a bench or box to make them easier. 

How I did it: I pulled 300 lbs for the deadlift portion, and used a 45-lb weight plate for the curl and press. The single arm supported rows were loaded with 60-lb dumbbells.

Session 003 https://www.benmusholt.com/strength-mob-workouts/session-003/ https://www.benmusholt.com/strength-mob-workouts/session-003/#respond Tue, 26 Jun 2018 17:15:13 +0000 https://www.benmusholt.com/?p=1521

Adjustments: As an alternative to Cossack squats, try low side-to-side squats –  they don’t require the same depth or flexibility. Any type of single arm bent over row will work for the circuit – you can do it with a kettlebell vs dumbbell, or support yourself with one hand on a bench. If the L-hang feels too hard for you, try hanging in a tuck, or in a simple passive hang (body extended) beneath the pull-up bar. Likewise, if the dive bomber push-ups are beyond your ability, scale back to regular push-ups, eccentric push-ups (descent only), or elevated (on a box or bench) push-ups.

How I did it: 

  • Trap bar deadlifts, loaded to 255 lbs  
  • Push presses at 130 lbs
  • Single arm bent-over rows at 75 lbs 
  • Russian twists with 10 lb weight plate
