Resting? Amateur hour. The cool kids do AMRAPs – As Many Rounds As Possible – and aim for a new high-score every time, like really exhausting pinball. “Start with 7 minutes of 6 press-ups, 6 inverted rows, 9 hand-elevated press-ups and 9 rows,” says DIY workout specialist Andrew Tracey. “Rest a minute – time permitting – then do 7 minutes of: 3 strict presses, 6 push-presses, 9 barbell rows, 12 press-ups and 15 curls, all with the same bar or dumbbells. Pick a weight you can comfortably handle for the presses, or it’ll catch up with you fast.” Spoiler alert: it’s horrible anyway.
