I call this Strength Circuit "Crazy 8's", primarily because of the rep range it entails. In a nutshell, the goal is to select a certain number of exercises, then perform each one back to back. After you cycle through one set of each exercise, that is considered one set.
The entire time you do the the circuit, you are wearing the Training Mask for the added cardio effect. This makes not only performing the exercises more intense, but helps to train your lunge copacity and breathing at the same.
The exercises that were chosen for this particular circuit include:
- Barbell Squat
- DB Bench Press
- DB RDL
- DB Bent Row
This selection was based on a Total Body goal of the Pushing, Pulling and working the lower body along with hips/hamstrings. As stated previously, the goal is to perform 8 reps of each exercise in a circuit fashion.
Recover between each set only as much as you need to, then begin the next set.
Recover between each set only as much as you need to, then begin the next set.
The Training Mask worn during the Crazy 8's offers modified air restriction to you lungs, making it more intense so that you have to intentionally control your breath.
TRY IT!!
