Workout of the Day
Strength
Weighted push-up 3-2-2-1-1-1 (demo video)
*If you struggle with push-ups without weights, skip the weights altogether and work on bodyweight push-ups*
Conditioning
AMRAP in 12 minutes of:
12 Clapping push-ups (demo video)
18 Abmat butterfly sit-ups
12 Sumo deadlift high-pulls (95 / 65)
*Again, if you struggle with push-ups, skip the clapping and just do regular push-ups or modified push-ups (snake up, stay tight and rigid on the way down)*
