Pair O'Peddlers

Every now and then I have to introduce either Manmakers or Renegade Rows because you folks are working out at home and it's very hard to find good pulling movements. I haven't gotten any of you to agree to hanging from you chandelier or even pulling up on less elaborate light fixtures. Odd. Why can't you all just install monkey bars in your living rooms? I really don't get you people.





W/O1
10 Renegade Rows alt/per (use moderate weight dumbbells/kettebells aren't necessary)
10 Burpees
4 Rounds





W/O2
5 Renegade rows - push up on the dumbbells between each row
10 Dumbbell Cleans
15 Push Presses
50 Squats
4 Rounds


Use the same set of dumbbells for the first three exercises









The next workout is in honor of Chad and Jill who just finished the STP together and, as far as I know, are still married. Great work you guys!

I wrote this workout for the two of them awhile ago and I'm sure it was one of their favorites. It's based on the workout 'Barbara' and you can replace the pull-ups or hanging rows with renegade rows if you're doing this at home. Sara, you can brachiate x2 for the 20 pull-ups





W/O3 - Partners or not - Jumping 'Barbarella'


For Chad:
20 Pull-ups
30 Push-ups
40 Sit-ups
50 Squats



For Jill:
10 Hanging Rows
20 Push-ups
25 Sit-ups
30 Squats





One parter jumps while the other does the work, if the 'working partner' finishes the round in under 3 minutes, the jumping partner jumps 5 minutes, otherwise the duration is the same. If you do this workout solo, just do the assigned work with 3 minutes of jumping.



3 Rounds - remember you love each other, so full range of motion please!
