Outta Here

I'm leaving for some ice climbing, so in light of that your workout will be max hindu squats in 2 minutes, followed by max pullups in 2 minutes. Complete five rounds.

The Magic 50 - by Ross Enamait

5 snatches each arm
5 swings each arm
10 burpees

5 rounds, 30-60 seconds between rounds

This one was brought to my attention by my friend, George. He said he likes to do the snatches from the ground, rather than with a pre-swing, with a 24kg kettlebell. Good luck with that ;)
Use a kettlebell, dumbbell, whatever allows you to do the workout. Have fun, and thanks again George.

Man-Makers

Grab a dumbbell, kettlebell, pillowcase filled with weight...something that you can swing.

Alternate swings with jogging:

Swing x 50
Jog 200m
Swing x 40
Jog 300m
Swing x 30
Jog 400m
Swing x 20
Jog 500m
Swing x 30
Jog 400m
Swing x 40
Jog 300m
Swing x 50
Jog 200m

Adjust the swing volume and jogging levels to your ability. The jog is a form of active recovery, not a race.

Nationality Training

Take a pair of dice and roll...That's how many minutes you are training today. Do Turkish get-ups for that many minutes, alternating arms each repetition. If you need to rest, rest...but stop the timer. Use a dumbbell, kettlebell, sandbag, barbell, rock, soup can, your wife, your husband, whatever. When you are done, do as many Hindu squats as you can in the same number of minutes.
