Ben Musholt — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 02:18:14 +0000

Time to get dirty in the garage! Of course, by dirty I mean sweaty and stuff. Wait – not that type of sweaty. You’re kinda gross, you know that? Oh well, let’s just jump to the good stuff: Today’s circuit training workout has a warm-up of sumo squat jumping jacks and mountain climbers, followed by 3 rounds of single leg deadlifts, kettlebell iron cross, step-ups, and single arm curl and presses. Cool-down with 50 scorpion push-ups and 100 pelvic thrusts. Hmmm. It’s not what you think, I swear! See the pictures.

Today’s workout starts with a fun warm-up of squat-leg kicks and inchworm walkouts. After that there are three rounds of barbell deadlifts, ring flies, kettlebell push presses, and box jumps. You’ll “cool-down” (love that!) with 45 triple stop push-ups (count them out!) and 100 twisting pelvic thrusts. How fun is that?

Kaboom! 35 years young today, and feeling great! I dedicate this circuit training workout to all other Scorpios out there pursuing their passions with a vengeance. May you be filled with life force and have success in all your endeavors.

Now: how about some workout action?

Warm-up with a few minutes of jumping jacks, then side to side lunges and med ball mountain climbers. After that, cycle through modified T-bar rows, overhead bench get-ups, reverse grip bicep curls, and kettlebell reverse lunges. The cool-down is a classic with 50 single leg push-ups and 100 side crunches. Get after it and be forever young!

The Rain is Back! Indoor Circuit Training

Ben Musholt — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 01:10:07 +0000

The rain is back in Portland with a vengeance, but that can’t stop us from working out! For today’s circuit training burner, I want you to warm-up with a few minutes of jumping jacks, then do 30 reps of lunge kicks and quadruped knee-to-face motions (on each leg). After the warm-up you’ll rotate through 3 sets of barbell thrusters, single leg kettlebell deadlifts, ring dips, and reverse hypers (on a plyo-box). Cool-down with toe touch crunches and stacked feet push-ups. You know the drill!

Garage Gym Circuit Training: Mid October Burner

Today’s Strength Mob garage gym workout takes you through a circuit of gymnastic rings chest flies, barbell lunges, box jumps, and single arm curl and presses. Warm-up first with jump rope + walking lunges. “Cool-down” with wide push-ups and side plank leg lifts. That’s it, that’s all. Nice and simple. See the images below for more details.

Garage Gym Circuit Training: 8-6-12

Wow, 100+ degrees out here in Portland this weekend. Perhaps this workout is a bit ambitious, but here it goes: warm-up with lunge kicks and inchworms, then do a 3-set circuit of squat presses, Turkish get-ups, gymnastic ring rows, then tricep kick backs. The “cool down” could be grueling on it’s own – 50 stacked leg push-ups, then 100 rotating sit-ups. My bet is that you can hustle through this garage gym circuit in 45 minutes or less, with a few people sharing the equipment. Stay hydrated – and have at it!

Garage Gym Circuit Training: 5-31-2012

It’s great to be back in Portland after a 6 day trip to New York city. I did a ton of walking, but never any specific workout, which always leaves me feeling a bit antsy. Hence, you’ll see that the Strength Mob garage gym workout I put together for today goes the extra mile to incorporate almost all body parts, to become a true “whole body” circuit. If you need to blow off some steam and get all your engines fired up, this workout should do the trick. It’s got chest, hamstrings, glutes/quads, biceps, push-ups, and of course some core strengthening. Gather up your buddies, and get to Mobbin’. You’re gonna love this one!

Garage Gym Workout: 3-12-2012

I’m still protecting my shoulder after an injury two weekends ago, so I didn’t get to do the barbell split squats, hanging leg raises, or twisting shoulder presses that are in today’s garage gym workout. I’ve basically just been keeping my arm tucked into my side, like a broken wing, while doing body-weight split squats, and other modifications of the workout posted below. Anyone who has suffered a shoulder dislocation or another arm injury can surely relate. With only three people in the garage today, we hustled through this one in forty minutes. Enjoy!
