These are some workouts that I have done and survived, from my favorite coaches in Iceland, Horku-Gísli, Eythór and Danni
12 exercises from hell
- 1 Snatch 40/25kg
- 2 Burpees
- 3 Hang Clean 40/25 kg
- 4 Box Jumps
- 5 Front Squat 40/25 kg
- 6 Toes to Bar
- 7 Push Press 40/25 kg
- 8 Over Head Lunges 20/10
- 9 Back Squat 40/25 kg
- 10 Wall Balls 30/20 lbs
- 11 Floor Press 40/25 kg
- 12 Burpee Box Jump 50cm
In the first round you only do one snatch, then round two you do 2 burpees then one snatch, only in the 12th round you do all the exercises.
So in the beginning it´s very easy, but as soon as you start doing the push press or around that part of the workout it starts to get hard. I thought I would die with the wall balls. Normally I use the 14 lbs ball, so 20 lbs is unbelievably heavy. I could not do more then one at a time, through the ball as high as I could, then let it crash on the ground, no way I was trying to catch it or even trying to make it hit me in the face.
It took me 45 minutes or so to complete, but I was alone, and I am that kind of person that need the support and the competition of others, so when I am alone I give myself all the time I need. Also I don´t know how to work the timer in the gym so the time can´t be certain.
I get so competitive during a workout, it´s not always good, but when I have no one to compete with, and no one even knows what I am doing, then I take so many breaks and don´t push myself at all, the only goal I have is to finish the workout, even though it would take me two hours.
I´ve done this set up a couple of times and really recommend trying, it is so satisfying seeing the progress, when you start doing the burpee box jump, you have a lot left still, but in your mind you have already finished, cause you´ve done it all so many times.
