Solid advice. I'll put a big shout out for lots of slow pull ups and slow chin

I did this today....took 45 minutes for me taking breaks and too many reps, great work out, thanks

Thanks for the great workout! My daughter and I are disagreeing about the jump lunges… 10/leg or 10 total (5/leg)?

how many times a week do you do this? I'm guessing every other day works, to give you a rest day in between.

looks really tough! Thanks for the advice. I just wonder how fast could I succeed with at least half of the exercises decribed...

Thank you for the video, I just have a couple of questions to clarify. How many reps/sets on Russian Twist? Same thing with front squat. When you say 10 lunges, do you mean 10 lunges per leg or all together?

Would these workouts work Nordic skiing (both skate and classic)? I have about 3 weeks before my skiing season starts and I really want to work this off season

Dang I could only get 3 sets of each in 😅

[kruno_peric]

i have a herniated dsc, so i'll just go ahead and skip the Russian Twists.

Sorry this will discourage many non-hardcore athletes. You surely don't need to use heavy barbells to condition yourself for recreational downhill skiing.
