Wanna put out more power and experience less perceived exertion? If so, I know a guy…

I wish I had a sled. I managed to get a used car tire recently, but I don’t have any good place to drag it yet (too cold, snowy and icy outside).
Thrusters, jumping and Swings sounds awesome.

Nice work Chris! I’m on a similar quest after bulking up when I “retired” from bike racing…

I’ve been doing these sorts of interval workouts as well. I’m a big fan of

1) Sled Drag
2) Jump Rope
3) KB swing

If we have the warehouse, we do these for reps or distance without rest. Usually lasts about 5 minutes or so and is taxing. If we’re in the gym, I usually swap the drags out for something else–thrusters would probably work well. Mountain climbers are good in a pinch though maybe not quite hard enough once you get used to them. Box jumps are brutal. I bet trap bar deadlifts would work really well as they are suited to lots of reps…

Done for time with a little rest into built into the intervals, you get stretch it out and get a nice 15′ session out of something like this.

I find four cycles of Jump/Drag/Swing/Drag is lethal.

I bet it did!

After all this time I’ve never noticed those dashed underlines…

Everything with that dashed underline is an acronym. Hover over it with your mouse for words it stands for.
In this case, “Makes You Breathe Hard”.

Perhaps I’m dense, but I can’t for the life of me figure out what MYBH means.

Chris,
On very little sleep and with all of that stress, duplicating your best squat is quite a feat.

Just think where you would have been on a day when you were fresh and the mind was free and focused.

I would have scrapped the workout all together, so for you to press on is an accomplishment.

that still would have been a pr. Just sayin.

Interesting. It’ll take some time to find your range.

It is, and you have a.. for lack of better; ‘talent’ for mobility/flexibility.
It’ll be interesting to see if you see any difference/improvement considering you’re already in good shape as far as that goes.

please do.
