Thursday Throwdown: 10 Wackiest Sites Of The Week

Welcome back to this week’s installment of Thursday Throwdown! Today is all about the word “awesome.” If it’s awesome, and it’s on the internet, it’s on this list.

Well, at least the top 10 ones.

So, sit back in that La-Z-Boy knock-off chair your mother bought just for you from her neighbor and try not to think about all of the debauchery that has taken place on it while you immerse yourself in…

Thursday Throwdown #1: The Bodyweight Gauntlet

The first throwdown is a very fundamental one. Why? Because it's body weight. It's where everyone should start. It's the foundation of a mobile, agile and strong body. If you can't perform a couple squats with correct form with your own bodyweight, you have no business doing it under a bar. It's just a recipe for disaster. SRSLY.

I thiefed the idea from here

It's very simple, and it'll take you all of 15 minutes. You do as many reps as you can in 3 minutes of the first exercise, rest 1 minute, and repeat for the other 3.

Pull-ups (If you can't do a strict one, do them assisted. Or do let me ins or let me ups (also called bodyweight rows, or inverted rows))

Squats

Push-ups

Burpees (chest to ground, hands to the sky. So push-up and jump! Don't skimp on yourself here!)

The order is not set in stone. What Travis said in his description holds. Start with your weak link. Record your numbers. Also, piece of advice (and this is good for any AMRAP sets you will ever do). Don't force yourself to failure. Keep 2-3 reps in the tank, breathe a little, then get back to it. Otherwise you'll cheat yourself out of a couple reps because it will be harder to recover!)

I did mine yesterday, and I made a video, but it need SERIOUS editing so Ima go ahead and post my numbers and add the link in later.

Pull-ups (assisted by about 50lbs with a resistance band): 13 Squats: 80 Push-ups: 35 Burpees: 24 (and I added 1 more to make an even 25 after time was up)

These numbers are no extraordinary feat. But they're a guideline. And what I'm going to do is, every 1st of the month, I'll go through the gauntlet again and take note of my progress.

Bonus Round

If you find yourself with still some gas in the tank, rest 1 minutes after the burpees and then hold a plank as long as you can and also write that number down. I did 2m31s :)

SO! Go ahead and do it, and let me know what your numbers ended up being!
