So, am I reading this correctly that you would do ten minutes of mountain climbers straight? Holy crap!

Been doing this workout 2 x week along with 2 days of ropes and 1 day of a body weight w/KB endurance builder. Honestly, I do see a difference in my conditioning. But, I must be honest I can only make it through 5 sets of 60 secs each of the mountain climbers. I must take a break.

So, I am with "yadmit"... ten minutes straight of mountain climbers - Holy Crap!!

Honestly, I think that set might be a typo smilies/tongue.gif

Even so, consider this the bodyweight edition of a kettlebell sport weightlifting set... improve your form and efficiency and try to make it without stopping... good luck!

Let me know when you do it and I'll put you in the Training Hall of Fame (I haven't made that yet, but it seems like a good idea smilies/smiley.gif

i do them in sets. go until failure, rest, then go again until failure. i let my body tell me when i'm done, so far it's been far far less than the recommended 10 min. but it's a start.

I apologize if this question is stupid but I'm a little confused on how to do the workout. Do I do all the "A" exercise once straight through and then repeat that 3 times. Or do I do each A exercise once for 3 sets and move on to the next A. For instance, would I do A1 TGU (Left) for 3 reps, rest for ten seconds, and then do A1 again, and only after completing 3 sets move onto A2? Or do I do A1-11 consecutively once, and then lather, rinse, repeat. Thanks!

Just finished this as part of the 4 week plan. I though it would be easy, but man did it kick my ass. I had to do the lowest reps and sets for all and drop the weight for windmills and TGU's. It was not just had at the end but all the way through. It left me shaking and stumbling but its exactly what I'm after, I really had to push hard.

Next week I'm gonna push for 2 more reps each set, and again the week after than, then add another set. I'm sure its gonna be hard but well worth it.

Well I'm in my second week now. It's just incredible. I'm a lot stronger. I managed to complete the a circuit from workout 2 (5x 6 reps)with a 20 kg KB (40 lbs). The TGU's are very difficult. These need some more practice. Wow, in six months I'm a beast....
