This is one hell of a workout. Right now there is no way possible for me to keep the rest periods down to the recommended 1 minute, I am just getting too winded and need to take longer breaks. The bulgarian split squat/overhead press combo is a purely evil movement. There is something about the combination that makes me feel like I just ran a marathon. Doing 12 reps on each leg with no break was not happenening for me today.

The other thing about this workout is that it's really testing my grip. The snatch-grip deadlifts and tough, and I switched to a mixed grip half way through.

Despite all of these issues, these are some of the best workouts I have ever done. I look forward to pushing myself harder and improving my numbers.
