anyway there ya go..as they say...think this crappy thread is finito

that 100 reps thing looks good though actually...gona try that tomoro with my wussy 40 pound bar

Everytime you post that I honestly think that you are mixing up pounds and kgs. Or not counting the weight properly.
And empty bar with no weight is c.45 pounds. Are you using a normal oly bar with nothing on it?

There is simply nothing confusing about the basic premise here ha ha to repeat ...again...

I have a 40 lb barbell - I do Randy Couture's barbell complex which he has used for years which increases strength and muscular endurance.

It is difficult...especially if you put more than 40 pounds on the bar...but even if you just use a 40 pound barbell... to consider it shockingly easy and unbeneficial for conditioning is dillusional.

Nobody posting here or anywhere could do the 5 rounds at their appropriate weight i.e. somewhere between 40 and 70 pounds and find it shockingly easy or unbenefical....and certainly nobody could do 10/15 or 20 rounds with 1 min rests...

It takes less than 15 minutes, it covers many muscle groups....who even gives a sh1t anymore...that 100 reps in 100 secs sounds good I'm gona try that....

OP I really can't understand why you are gettng so defensive. You posted a workout calling it 'awesome' and asked for thoughts on it..one would assume from this that you wanted critical thoughts on the workout..it is a discussion forum afterall.

I think had to you clarified details from the start, the reception of your thread would have been different. Had you posted that this is a good routine for beginners to get started..then okay. Sharing information that you found helpful and that could help others is always appreciated. But posting it up as an 'awesome' workout..of course your going to get critisised. Hell, I'm a 50something kilo girl and I read the workout and thought 40lb bar..3 rounds AND your giving me a 1minute rest...that's the warmup sure?

That's fine if it works for you, but if you ask for 'thoughts' on it..expect to receive either positive or negative feedback. If you don't want feedback..then dont post it in a discussion forum.

I reckon gymfreak should do it and video it.
And post the results in this thread.

Excellent.
I won't be doing it....Obesity and all that.

can bench 110Kg, do 30 pullups, 90 pushups etc and it's a challenge to me.

I'm impressed with the 30 pull ups, are these dead hang pullups or those kipping pull ups?

Can you post up that video so we can all see how amazing you are?

Thanks.

Do you have to do it as described or can you do hang cleans instead of upright rows and do the backsquat-to-press properly without the line dancing step inbetween?
Or even replace it with thrusters?

I'd postulate that such an approach would be harder, but people might not agree.

Better still.
How bout be like nutella does one of gymfreaks 5 block conditioning sessions too.
