When scheme is listed as “3 x 5″, it always refers to “Sets” x “Reps”. Reminder: Position and execution always govern weight. Attentive set-ups and re-sets, and violence of action in each lift. Today: Perform 5 kettlebell Sumo deadlift @ BW +, and 3 reallllyyyyy slow push-up (patient on the way down, patient on the way up, no wiggling) immediately following each set of bench press, and rest reasonably after the three movements are complete.

Step off the bike, collect yourself like a hard-minded athlete and not a fuckin' slow-stepping mallwalker, and then, do it again; Hunt the work. And then, “Time under tension”:

5 Push-up + 10 Airplane push-up + 15 calorie Airdyne/ equivalent sprint + 500 Jumprope (timed) + 50 hollow rock @ 15lb. W, 25lb.
