Sprints (JodiOjo.com)
Rules: Never after or on leg day
           Never day of or after max lift
          Must do a full body dynamic warm up for at least 10 mins before sprinting
          Distance should be how far you can sprint in 10 - 15 secs, no further
          Not to be done more than 1x week
This is a major central nervous system exciter which will deplete your energy. Recovery is essential. 

1st Set
Standing position start
75% Sprint x3
Walk, jog, back pedal to start

Recovery Walk for 4 minutes

2nd Set
Standing position start
90% Sprint x 3 (quicker acceleration)
Walk, jog, back pedal to start

Recovery Walk for 4 minutes

3rd Set
Runners Start
100% Sprint x3 (accelerate the whole distance)
2nd and 3rd sprint here will feel very difficult, if not impossible to complete.

Do your best to  keep accelerating the whole distance. The 3rd try may even feel like you are running in water, too hard to maintain. Try, but may not be able to complete all three physically. You will be spent.

5 -10 Minute Recovery Walk
_______________________________________________________________

BB Complex
perform 4-5 sets of 8-10 reps HEAVY with 1-2 mins rest between sets

OH press
OH squat
Back squat
Front squat
BO row
RDL

Short on Time? Great way to get a quick high intensity lift in 30-40 minutes.  Your heart will be racing, I promise. Enjoy.

Give Tabata a Try

Warning: This workout is not for the light hearted!

Tabata is a high intensity training method using 20 second maximum effort (intensity) followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated 8 times for a total time of 4 minutes.

Credit for development of this training technigue goes to Dr. Izumi Tabata and team from NIFS in Tokoya, Japan in 1996.  Dr. Tabata found in his research that subjects who performed Tabata for 6 weeks gained an increase of 28% in their anaerobic capacity and 14% increase in VO2max or the ability to consume oxygen. His study concluded that 4 minutes of Tabata could do more to boost aerobic and anaerobic capacity than an hour of endurance exercise.  The goal of each 20 second round of exercise in Tabata is to do as many as possible and to try to improve that number of reps of each exercise performed each successive week of Tabata training. This training can be done on any piece of exercise equipment such as a treadmill, elliptical, bike or stairmaster.  Also can be done by performing compound exercises with your body weight or by adding dumbbells, barbells, medicine balls, kettlebells, etc.

Here's a few samples:

Treadmill Tabata
Warm up. Then perform 4 mins at 5.0 and 3% incline. Then double this by doing 10.0 at 6% incline for 4 mins. Add tabata with 20 seconds of sprinting full speed. Get off treadmill for 10 seconds. Get back on and sprint 20 seconds. Off to rest for 10 secs. Repeat 7 more times for a total of 8 times or 4 minutes total of sprint / rest.  Back on to 5.0 and 3% for 4 minutes. Cool down.

Tabata Complexes
Perform 5-10 minutes dynamic warm ups.  Follow with 20 seconds of  burpees pushups to a chinup. Rest 10 seconds. Repeat burpee pushup to a chinup / rest for total 8 rounds. 
Insert burpee pushup to renegade row to DB squat to push press

Or just simplify it to one exercise for 8 rounds of work / rest:
20 seconds of burpees / 10 seconds rest
or
Squat thrusts
Push press
etc

Work Tabata into your weekly schedule 1 or 2x max. 
Be well
