Looking forward to watching the video. A workout I did recently: 3 Rounds: 15 Medicine Ball Slams 6 Tire Flips 10 Fat Bar Curls 10 45 lb. Plate Clean & Press 10 45 lb. Plate Row 16 Sledgehammer Swings (8 left & 8 right) 8 Modified Rope Clims 10 Thrusters - 85 lbs. Joe,

It's not too steep probably 20% grade, but allows for lots of volume. My whole street is pretty much uphill so i have lots of options! Joe, that hill is about 40-50yds.

Lombardi throws out some great lines. I have lots of rope - 3 inch nylon, 4 inch nylon, 2 inch manilla, and 1 1/2 in manilla. The 4 is just too huge to use for most exercises, but the 2 works great (sheds some though). Cool, keep me posted on the website. Lombardi throws out some great lines.

Can't wait to see the video. Interesting that the comment by Jay (above) talks about the Litvinov workout. The article completely changed how I train. Now when I do conditoning work, I like to add sprints or jumping rope. Here's what I did yesterday: 8 sets 1. deadlifts 2. pullups 3 400 m run. If you like, I send you more of my crazy workouts.

Either incorporating sprints with body weight, or just rapid fire circuits of a handful of exercises. Heavy bag work has always been a favorite of mine too.
