Woke up feeling energized so what better way to start the day than The Naked Warrior Strength Challenge. Before the real workout, I did some general warmup as follows:

Z-Health, R-phase

  • 20 min

    • Foamrolling

  • 5 min

    • Snatches

  • 24 kg
  • 10/10 x 6
  • Start every = 1:30

    • Naked Warrior Strength Challenge™

  • Time: 20 min, perform as many rounds as possible of
  • Pullups = 5 x 8 = 40
  • One-arm Pushups = 5/5 x 8 = 40/40
  • Pistols = 5/5 x 8 = 40/40 

    • In the evening I did a quick workout of:

    2-hands anyhow

  • 32 kg + 24 kg
  • 2/2 x 8

    • Rough and tough! My strength has started to come back after the farmerwalk. No more headache or dys-focus. These 20 min intenses/exhausting workouts are great to increase the energylevel. You will feel momentary fatigue, but 10 min after you get this boost of energy and focus, that drives you through the day. At the same time it is very motivating to see how much work you can perform. Next time you try the same challenge/workout, see if you can increase the score. This is pretty much based on the idéas behind the Escalating Density Training (EDT) by Charles Staley. More workouts of this kind will follow in the log. Try it out, and let me know how it feels.
