Today I did my 10 minute warm up run followed by a steady jog at 5.8 mph for about twenty minutes until I was dragged to an Insanity class.  That was intense to say the least.  45 minutes of interval training left me exhausted but satisfied that my friend show me a great new workout.

I love this. I competed in powerlifting for a few years, and this sounds like a workout we would do on a Saturday morning after a competition or use a log for the overhead for a strongman workout to mix it up, with maybe some tire flips thrown in. Big and simple!

Trying to keep it simple, if it comes to a point where I can't add plates I may add a "few" isolations". @uno6518 when you were power lifting, what would another workout look like?

The guy who ran our team, our coach, kept things very simple. We lifted three days/week, with each workout based around the comp. lifts: bench, squat, DL. The main lift would be 6 week cycles of prog. overload using board presses and full range of motion bench, box and regular squats, and rack and regular DLs. For bench, we would then do some type of heavy top range of motion, like bench off pins, and we also did tons of tricep high rep stuff. We lifted in single ply bench shirts, so it was important for locking out purposes.

The other two days would be the main lift, plus accessory work. Sets of 8-10 reps on things like reverse hyperextensions, good mornings, heavy 45 deg. back raises, pull throughs, etc. We'd often have something like farmers walks or tire flips as well, and then very high rep upper back/trap work on DL day. Never really did more than 12-14 sets total for the whole workout, but always kept getting strong.

Keeping it simple never goes wrong. I am a big fan of Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 program for when I just don't want to get to complicated with my training....highly recommend that for a good, simple workout, with tons of flexibility thrown in depending on your specific goals.

Did this yesterday, Gym Jones "300" workout because the new movie is out. I suck at pull-ups so most of them were jumping pull-ups. Deadlifts were with two 30kg kettlebells.

so do you just try to get to those numbers with as many reps as it takes you. So let say you can only do 10 pull ups, do you move on to the next one, and come back to it later?

It's a pretty intense workout. You keep going until you get to 50. Obviously not 50 straight, like 5 sets of 10. Right now I can only do about 5 good pull ups in a row. Like I said, most of the ones I did were jumping pull ups.

So what is the typical rest between sets do you give yourself?
