Burn fat and build muscle with our weekly gym challenge. Workout of the Week #34

Take on your Men’s Fitness workout of the week, a new 52-part series to keep you inspired and challenged for 2015. We’ll post a new workout every Monday and for an added incentive, we’ll take on the workout too so you can see how your best time compares with a member of the MF team.

Workout of the Week #34

Complete four rounds of this circuit as fast as you can:
– 8 30kg barbell thrusters
– 6 ballistic pull-ups
– 4 box jumps

Ballistic pull-ups form guide:
Focus on pulling up as powerfully as you can so that you can momentarily take your hands off the pull-up bar with each rep. These take a lot of power and energy so it could be easier to do them in singles or doubles. If this is too hard, swap them for wide-grip pull-ups instead.

Watch the video, take on the challenge and post your best score in the comments section below.

MF’s par score: 6 min
