Michael brought the hurt again today by introducing me to “Fight Gone Bad” (official description). Since I’m still a beginner I had a mini version of 2? 3? rounds (I can’t remember) of circuits modified to
1. 10-12 cals rowing
2. 12 Wall Balls with 8lb ball
3. 10ish Sumo Deadlift Highpull
4. 18ish box Jumps (ok, step ups)
5. 35lb (?) Push Press
I think my total score for however many rounds I did was 176, so I’ll take that to start.
This is a crazy cool 5 minute circuit with a minute of rest in between repeated 5x so named “Fight gone bad” as it’s a workout designed to train cage fighters (meaning it’s meant to be MORE intense than the rounds they experience during fights). Some famous cage fighter did the routine for the first time and, when asked how it was, claimed that it was like a “fight gone bad”.
I agree. Was seriously the most intense thing I’ve ever done. Good thing I was headed straight to the sports med doc directly after to get things all adjusted
Oh, and in case you’re curious - the point of this all is to turn my body into what Linda Hamilton looked like in Terminator 2, and the results so far are GREAT. Even my smallest clothes are too big and, combined with a strict zone diet of 11 blocks a day, the changes are happening in the all the right places. Hope I can keep rocking it!!
