2. DEADLIFTS WITH 135 LBS. (50 reps) Load the barbell and roll it against your shins. Bend at your hips and knees and

grab the bar with an overhand grip, your hands just beyond shoulder width.

Without allowing your lower back to round, pull your torso back and up, thrust your

hips forward, and stand up with the barbell. Squeeze your glutes as you perform

the movement. Lower the bar to the floor, keeping it as close to your body as

possible.

3. PUSHUPS (50 reps)

Get down on all fours and place your hands on the floor so that they're slightly

wider than and in line with your shoulders. Lower your body until your chest nearly

touches the floor. Pause at the bottom, and then push yourself back to the starting

position as quickly as possible.

4. 24-INCH BOX JUMPS (50 reps) Stand in front of a sturdy, secure box that's high enough so that you have to jump

with great effort in order to land on top of it. Your feet should be shoulder-width

apart. Dip your knees. Jump up onto the box with a soft landing. Step down and

reset your feet.

5. FLOOR WIPERS (50 reps) Holding a 135-pound loaded bar above your chest, bring your feet up together to

the left plate, down to the middle, and up to the right plate before putting them

down in the middle. That's one repetition.

and grab the kettlebell with an overhand grip. Drive your hips and legs through the

floor to bring the kettlebell up to your chest (note: your arm should be tucked in

close to your body with the kettlebell resting on the outside of your forearm.) Push

overhead before lowering it to the ground in a controlled movement.

That's one rep. Make sure it touches the ground before each rep. Perform 25 reps

per arm.
