15, 12, 10 reps with suicides

This workout was hard! I am not sure if it was just super high intensity, or if it was because I had too much fun Saturday night at my friends Bachelorette party. This workout might of hurt more due to 'extending' myself too much Saturday, ha! No regrets though! 

Equipment:
  • Heavy weighted bar- About 30% of your body weight 
  • Mat
  • Area to run at least 45 yards

The concept of this workout was to do a set amount of reps then immediately afterwards to an exercise to failure. Failure means you no longer can go anymore while keeping the same speed or pace. 

Every workout you will do three times through. First round is 15 reps, then 12, then 10 reps. After each round you do 1 suicide.

Explanation:  You will start out with 15 reps of back squats, then do plyometric squats until you can no longer do them. Then you will do 1 lap of suicides. Then you will do 12 reps of back squats with weight. Then plyo squats. Then 1 lap of suicides. Then 10 reps of back squat. Plyo squats to failure. Then 1 lap of suicides. Continue this with the shoulder press, v-up sit ups, and dead lifts until you have completed the workout.
