Another CrossFit based workout for you, this one is based on using the "Ladder" format which means you start your set off with the highest number of reps (Usually 10) and work your way down to 1 rep per set.
Here is an example of the Upper Body Ladder Style workout I did in this video:
- For the first round I did 6 different exercises with 10 reps each.
- For the second round I did 9 reps for each exercise and then 8,7,6,5,4,3,2 and lastly for my final round I finished off with 1 rep for each exercise. For a total of 55 reps per exercise and 330 reps in total.
- I did the following exercises in each round - Dumbbell Press with 50 pounds in each hand, Wide grip pull-ups, Olympic dips, Sit-ups, Push-ups and Arm curls with 30 pounds in each hand.
I also show you how you can "scale" your workout to fit your level of fitness since not everyone can do a full push-up or pull-up ;)
This was a hard workout on my triceps since the Shoulder press, Olympic dips and Push-ups all hit my triceps hard. I did make it through with only a few small pauses and got pretty close to the 20 minute mark!
