Hi Craig,
Great workout - as always! :)
I'm from Germany and a big fan or your blog - I try to check it daily for the awesome info you provide. Keep up the great work, will ya?
Oh - btw - I have a workout for you (one of the toughest I have ever done). Try it, if you dare ;-)
Here goes:
3 rounds of: 1 chin-up + 3 push-ups (simply stand under the chin-up bar, jump up, do the chin, drop down and do the 3 push-ups - repeat. Kinda like burpess, really). Only keep track of the chins and do as many as you can (aim for your chin-up max). Rest 60-90 seconds between rounds.
After that, do 5 sets of heavy (and deep) goblet squats. Work up to an all out 5th set with the heaviest weight.
This workout is simple and short, but YOU WILL BE SORE! (even your calves from jumping up to grab the chin-up bar).
Please give it a try and let me know what you think :-)
Cheers and keep up the great work,
Theo
