Finisher Approach # 2 – Density
Let’s take a look at another type of finisher that you can add to your routine. This one’s called Density.There are actually a variety of approaches within this category. First, there’s timed sets. That’s when you do an exercise for a certain amount of time while completing as many reps as possible.
Another approach that uses Density is when you do a certain number of rounds (supersets or circuits) in a given time frame. The set and rep schemes can be really crazy. So crazy, in fact, that they’re called crazy names… like the Metabolic Deuces…
“Metabolic Deuces” Finisher
Do the following circuit as many times as possible in 4 minutes, resting only when needed.
If your form gets sloppy, you MUST stop and rest. Once the 4 minutes are up, you’re done.
- Vertical Jump and Stick (2 reps)
- Explosive Pushup or Normal Pushup (2 reps)
- Skater Hops (2 reps per side)
- Burpee/X-Body Mountain Climber Combo (2 reps)
