Workout for Friday, February 20

50-40-30-20-10
Dumbbell push presses and squats

Use 5, 10, or 15 lb. dumbbells and do 50 push presses*, 50 air squats, 40 push presses, 40 air squats, etc. for time.
Carefully choose your dumbbell weight. You want this to be a challenge, but this IS 150 total push presses.
*Push presses--See video. Feet shoulder distance apart, dumbbells on shoulders, then dip slightly at the knees and straighten knees as you push the weight above your head. Keep body weight in the heels and fully extend the arms above head.

  1. I started with 15 lbs and quickly found that I needed to switch to 10. My time was 7:21

  2. 9:59 with 15# dumbbells
    Yes, this was a race at the end to beat 10 minutes. 15# push presses were tough. I had to break them in to sets of 10-15. Got pretty heavy.
