Have I mentioned how our trainer likes to ‘try out’ new workouts on me and Chad? Yeah, lovely being the guinea pig.

Today’s wonderful new challenge is called #9. It’s easier to use numbers for these things, at least until you get a sense of how useful it is. And trust me, it’s useful!

Warmup:
- 30 Bodyweight Squats
- 2x:
- 20 Deadlifts
- 20 Pull-ups (more on that kipping form)
- 20 Pushups

Workout:
- Front Squats:
- 5 @ 95#
- 10 @ 95#
- 21 @ 105# (non-stop)
- 60 Ball Slams @ 20#
- 60 Wallballs @ 20#
#9: 20:00 of:
- 10 Dips
- 20 Kettlebell Snatches @ 24kg
- 40 Ad Mat Situps
- For total sets completed: 4

At about set 3 of #9 I was thinking to myself during a catch-my-breath-moment that tomorrow, my abs are going to be sore. It might be one of those days where you wake up and say to yourself, “You know, I’m doing great right here in bed. I think I’ll stay here for the rest of the day. It’s a lovely place, no reason to leave…”
