triset:
KB swings, 6x8x14 kg
sumo deads, 6x8x100
wide stance jumps, 6x40 sec.
rest, 90 sec.
12 min. cardio
triset:
jump squats, 6x8x15 lb dbs
front squats, 6x8x60 (wimpy weight but I tried to keep good form and go really low)
close stance speed squats, 45 sec
rest 90 sec.
12 min. cardio.
I'm not sure how I feel about this workout. On the one hand, it was a sweat fest. On the other hand doing low intensity cardio in mid workout seems a little pointless to me, because as I understand it, even if I've got all kinds of free fatty acids bopping around after triset #1, my body's not going to be burning them during the cardio if I've got glycogen to draw on. And I damn well better have glycogen to draw on, or triset #2 won't be happening.
But whatever. I liked it while I was doing it, and that's the main thing. For my cardio I did portions of P90X Cardio X, not the yoga in the beginning but the kenpo, plyo and core moves, and it was just right in terms of intensity.
