CrossFit has got some crazy a$$ workouts… Have you ever seen some of the stuff they post?
Although I am not a big fan of many CrossFit workouts, I do enjoy some from time to time…
What I like more though is CrossFit INSPIRED workouts…
Workouts that take the CrossFit principles and make them… Well, a little safer 🙂
I’ve known far too many people get hurt from workouts simply because they try doing something that is too challenging too fast…
This isn’t a knock on CrossFit… It’s more of a knock on trainers that don’t take into account a certain persons fitness level…
Anyway, I digress…
The one thing I will say about CrossFit is it delivers results…
And as much as people hate on it… The PHILOSOPHIES behind their training are spot on…
There’s a reason many people can lose up to 2% body fat in the first 7-days…
Anyway, the workout below is NOT for the faint of heart… Hence the name “Death By Burpee” 🙂
This one is definitely CrossFit inspired…
Here’s what you’ll do, using the same weight for the 3 weighted exercises:
Round One:
5 Barbell Squats
5 Deadlifts
5 Overhead Press
25 Burpees
Round Two:
5 Barbell Squats
5 Deadlifts
5 Overhead Press
20 Burpees
Round Three:
5 Barbell Squats
5 Deadlifts
5 Overhead Press
15 Burpees
Round Four:
5 Barbell Squats
5 Deadlifts
5 Overhead Press
10 Burpees
Round Five:
5 Barbell Squats
5 Deadlifts
5 Overhead Press
5 Burpees
And DONE! Oh my goodness, that was brutal. That’s a total of 75 burpees.
And your goal is to finish this workout as quickly as possible.
This is a great way to combine your strength and cardio into the same workout… Just like many of the CrossFit workouts do. And the reason for that…
IT WORKS!
