Scott Britton’s back with another workout to test your mental and physical strength. This week, all you’ll need is a dumbbell to get your heart racing and your muscles pumping. You may be thinking that you can’t get a good workout with just one dumbbell, but after 30 rounds (yes, that’s right, 30) we think you might have changed your mind.
So, how does it work?
There’s 3 different parts to this workout; the cash in, the 10 rounds, and the cash out. These moves are designed to work your whole body and getting to the end requires a strong mindset and serious determination.
That's because once you’ve got to the end, you do it all again. 30 times. Well, that’s what Scott can manage anyway — reckon you can manage another 29 rounds of that too? Here are the moves...
The Workout
Buy in:
30x Devils Press with dumbbell1. Hinge at the hips to grab the dumbbell on the floor.
2. Jump down into a plank position, lowering chest and thighs to the floor and immediately push back up with your hands to high plank.
3. Jump your feet forward, landing outside of the dumbbell and then snatch/swing the dumbbell up using your hips to power the move to hold the dumbbell overhead.
4. Repeat move on other side.
Alternatives: If you don't have a dumbbell, try using a kettlebell.
10 rounds:
Perform the following two sets 10 times before moving onto the cash out.
8 Ground to overhead1. Hinge at the hips to pick up the dumbbell with one hand off the floor, keeping your back straight and chest up.
2. Pull up to your shoulder, keeping your back straight and then push the dumbbell overhead.
3. Bring the dumbbell back down to the starting position, keeping your back straight and repeat move on the other arm.
10 Burpee over dumbbell
1. Jump down into plank position on one side of the dumbbell, lowering your chest to the floor.
2. push back up with your arms and jump your legs in towards your chest.
3. Jump up and sideways over the dumbbell and repeat the burpee on the other side of the dumbbell.
Cash out:
30x Devils Press with dumbbell- Repeat the same move as in the Cash In
Keep going for as many rounds as you can manage — Scott aims for 30, but says this is super tough. Think you’ve got the mental strength to get through? Give it a go and tag @myprotein and @scottbrits in your attempts!
