BRUTAL 275 REP DUMBBELL WORKOUT - The "Hatchet" Dumbbell Workout

More workouts from ATHLEAN-X - http://athleanx.com/x/hatchet

OK, grab your dumbbells, show some guts and bear down for this brutal 275 rep dumbbell workout from ATHLEAN-X called the Hatchet! Why is this workout called the "hatchet" if you're only using dumbbells to complete it? Because as you'll see, in just 275 reps and five exercises (and less than 30 minutes), we can take the strongest athletes in the world and cut them down to size by challenging them with workouts that actually work.

In the dreaded "Hatchet", our elite collegiate athletes are going to be using a pair of dumbbells to go through the following 5 exercises to complete the workout as quickly as possible.

The exercises in this dumbbell only workout
================================

Dumbbell Thrusters
Dumbbell Dead Rows
Dumbbell Cleans
Dumbbell Renegade Rows
Dumbbell-less Burpee / Box Jump combos

The goal is to perform 10 reps of these 5 exercises without rest and then move down the pyramid to 9 reps of each of these exercises, 8 reps, etc until you hit just one rep of each. This dumbbell only workout may look simple in structure but it's anything but easy to complete once you get started.

For more workouts that don't require much more than a set of dumbbells, a pullup bar, a piece of resistance tubing, and a bench or physioball to lay on, then head to http://athleanx.com and get the complete 90 day ATHLEAN-X Training System. The same program used by TNA impact wrestling legend Sting and other elite professional athletes can be yours.

Still waiting for either of them to do a full range of motion rep...

[hydrogenboy]

read the whole thing. 25lbs dumbells. two hands equals two dumbells which means 50lbs hence quarter of 200lbs.

[R0B3RTL3M0N5]

[AlexJamesFitness]

tha stingah!

[Towhidur Razzak]

He means each dumbell of 25 lbs i.e. combined weight of 50 lbs, which is 1/4th of the body mass......

[R0B3RTL3M0N5]

1/4 of 200 is 50.... does he mean 1/8 of our weight?

[Andrew Wilson]

Good workout. Just over 15 minutes (with a v short drink break on rep 5). It's worth really pushing the first three sets because its downhill all the way from there. Doing 300 tomorrow.

That doesn't look very simple to me.

[Naveen Bali]

ha ha :)

In order for this type of workout to be truly effective, you have to measure it, time it, and then beat that record the next time you perform it. It is important to keep rep speeds the same each workout (whatever speed you decide) and only shorten rest period. You can increase the weight but must try to stay true to the technique. I normally am a fan of Jeff, but I found the form and technique on this video to be a bit sub-par.

no rest between rounds?
