Wow am I humbled right now. As a 220 lbs competitive powerlifter I like to think I am pretty strong. Well, when it comes to body weight drills it turns out I am pretty darn weak.
I tried out Scott's recruit program today. It consisted of the revolving table, push plank knee, basic spinal rock, and the quad press. The workout lasted for 20 minutes and eventually you want to be able to do 6 reps of each drill within 1 minute for 20 consecutive minutes.
Well I did the 20 minute circuit, but my reps were ranging from 5 at best to 3 at worst. And it was never easy. I had an especially tough time with the revolving table. I am just so stiff in the ankles and shoulders that this exercise is ugly and uncoordinated when I attempt it.
Anyways, enough about me, here is the workout
20 minute circuit
attempt to do 6 reps of each drill for the entire circuit
drills are:
revolving table
push plank knee
basic spinal rock
quad press
My plan was to do this as a warm-up and then hit the kettlebells for some "real" work. Obviously that didn't happen as the tacfit workout was more than enough. Instead I finished up with some extra revolving table, and just straight up table work.
