Comments:
Solid ass kicker for about 20 minutes. All these movements are super metabolic and short. Circuits like this are great to train mental fitness, there is nowhere to hide, nowhere to catch your breath. Remember.....
- No rest in transition - move to the next exercise and knock out a few reps
- Rest when you have a few reps in the tank - don't take it to failure
- Limit your rest to 5 breaths - no more, 5 breaths is plenty to get your shit together
Mental Fitness / Mental Toughness is one of the most transferable things we train in the gym. If you train to suffer in the gym then when the time comes to perform under stress / fatigue you'll be mentally prepared for what's to come.
