NO GUTS NO GLORY workout Russ Howe PTI

“A classic from way back in 2013, this circuit workout created havoc in my gym when groups of people would try (and mostly fail) to complete it!

There are just five exercises here, so it looks really simple… and that’s exactly how it gets you.

In round one of the circuit you will perform 20 reps of each exercise, then in round two this is decreased to 18 reps each, and then 16 reps each, and so on (even numbers all the way down). The only exception to the descending reps is Mountain Climbers which are 30 seconds on every round. The goal is to work the reps all the way down to zero, or just to get as far as you can before your body throws in the towel.”


BURPEES >> KB CLEAN & PRESS >> PUSH UPS >> MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS x30 sec every round >> BODYWEIGHT SQUAT
*** Split the reps in half for each arm on the Clean & Press. Take 1 minute rest at the end of each circuit round if you need it. 20 reps > 18 reps > 16 reps > 14 reps > 12 reps > 10 reps > 8 reps > 6 reps > 4 reps > 2 reps.
