W.O.W. #3


25 min Finisher

Squat
Overhead press
Deadlift
Pull down (15 rep max weight)
Swissball pikes


The chore is to do ten reps back-to-back of each of the five lifts, then start again doing nine, then eight, then seven... and, again, you see where this is heading!

One rule, you have to finish in 25 minutes. I insist you use weights that are so light in the squat, press, and deadlift that you're embarrassed to begin the workout. 

End with that, I bid you au revoir!
