Workout 119 - Rowing and Body Builders


15:00 AMRAP

500m Row

10 “8 Count Body Builders”



General Warm Up


Begin with the Joint Rotation Warm Up, then 3-5min of cardio, followed by…


3 ROUNDS

6 Spiderman Lunges (3 per leg)

25 Jumping Jacks



Specific Warm Up


If you are rowing, definitely hit the Rowing Primer before rowing ~250m. After that, make sure you go through the 8 Count Body Builder video, find the version that works best for you and get a few test reps in.



Workout of the Day


15:00 AMRAP

500m Row



Workout Notes


First thought? 15min is a looooooong time for only two moves! AMRAP stands for As Many Rounds As Possible, so keep alternating between the two moves until the 15min clock runs out. You’ll want to set the hottest pace that you can for those rows and somehow, try to catch your breath during the 8 Count Body Builders… Try… : )


Rowing Modifications


This Row should be ~2min long. For fast rowers, the first row, maybe even the first few rows, will be below 2min. If your Row is closer to 3min, consider bringing down the meters so that it’s closer to a 2min row at a hot pace!

Other cardio equivalents would be:

  • 400m Run

  • 25-30 Cal Air Bike

  • 2min of Double Unders/Jump Rope (Be aware that there is lots of jump rope in Day 3)

If you don’t have any of those options available, replace each 500m Row with…


:30 of Butt Kickers

:30 of High Knees

1:00 of Sumo Deadlift High Pulls with #50 or less



Optional Accessory Work


Accumulate 2:00 - 3:00 in each Side Plank.



Cool Down


1-2min in Samson Stretch on Each Leg

1-2min in Child’s Pose
