Circuit training: Dumbbell Burpees + Upside-down Push-ups

The Strength Mob garage was full tonight, with 6 returning people plus a newcomer. We rocked the warm-up with jump rope and dumbbbell swings, before getting into a wicked circuit of good morning lifts, box jumps, dumbbell burpees, and jackknife push-ups. If you’ve got the strength foundation, you could swap handstand push-ups for the jackknife push-ups. Either way, the combo of dumbbell burpees and upside-down push-ups is a solid burner for the shoulders. Nothing beats an awesome end-of-the-week workout, and they don’t get much better than this. Call up your friends, turn the heater on in the garage, and have fun!

Today’s Strength Mob garage workout begins in classic style with a few minutes of jumping jacks and then 4 sets of burpees, prior to launching into the next 4 circuit training activities. After some barbell front squats, you’ll do some kettlebell “reach and twists”, then standing lateral raise/trunk twist, and finally seated military press. To cool down, relax into 50 wide grip push-ups and then 80 saxon side bends with a weight plate. Gather up your squad and get to Mobbin’!
