Conditioning Complex – The Dirty Dozen
FULL EXPLANATION: http://www.synergy-athletics.com/effective-strength-training/short-on-workout-time-use-the-dirty-dozen/ YOUR STRENGTH MANUAL: http://www.bullstrength.com
First, a BIG thank you to everyone that commented on the previous post! You really came through with some cool workout challenges.
Now on to the Dirty Dozen. This is more a method than it is just one workout. I came up with this idea to make sure the workouts are short, flexible to your equipment, and adaptable to your needs.
Pretty cool right?
Here’s how it works. Choose 12 exercises, 6 strength exercises and 6 conditioning exercises. Do note, that the strength and conditioning exercises may have aspects of the other movements (for example, 2 squats is more strength while 100 squats will be more conditioning – same exercise though!). To make this simple to read, I am using the term “strength exercise” to refer to a general lift, even though it may be strength/muscle endurance. These are primarily anaerobic movements.

Pair the movements up – strength then conditioning and repeat. 12 straight exercises is a LOT so check out these progressions.

When To Get Dirty
There are a few ways to apply this protocol to your training. We prefer to use it as conditioning only. It skyrockets your heart rate and teaches proper breathing and recovery. 3 rounds are typical (usually takes about 6 minutes a round) for us on a workout day that is followed by a rest day.
back-exercise
Always keep the big picture in mind, that this will increase your conditioning and muscle endurance, but you still need proper strength and dynamic workouts in your program! I prefer to use this conditioning only once a week to avoid over fatiguing muscles that I will need in my regular program.

Gym Variations
I love the prowler and ropes, but it isn’t practical to use them in every gym. Check out this video, sorry for the shakey hand, I just got right through it myself!
If you want a complete strength manual, get Bull Strength, check out what a pair of strength coaches from the UK say about it:
Having sampled many different programs from a number of different coaches, Joe Hashey’s Bull Strength is one of the most complete training system available. Bull strength’s versatility is what sets it apart from other programs, no barbell? No Problem! There are various options for each movement depending on equipment, space and training phase.
The massive exercise library is invaluable and helps to stave off boredom and smash through plateaus.
Our athletes have seen massive gains in strength, speed and power while following the Bull Strength program, I would highly recommend Bull Strength.
