Fight Gone Bad - Killer Lower Body Workout

Hey everyone,

When planning today's workout, we revisited our "Workout Styles" tab to remind ourselves of different workout methods we have used in the past.  In doing this, we realized that we haven't done an FGB (Fight Gone Bad) workout for quite some time. 

The FGB workout includes a circuit of five exercises, performed for one minute each, with no rest in between each exercise (but one minute of rest after each set).  This can be performed for 3 or 5 sets.  We completed 5 sets, equivalent to a championship fight, for which this style is named after. 

Here is what we did:

1. Alternating kettlebell deadlifts (Alex - 40 kg, Tannys - 24 kg)
2. Double kettlebell overhead lunges (Alex - 2x24 kg, Tannys - 2x12 kg)
3. Double kettlebell single-leg deadlifts (Alex - 2x24 kg, Tannys - 2x12 kg)
4. Double kettlebell bench step-ups (Alex - 2x24 kg, Tannys - 2x12 kg)
5. Pistol squats

We found the continuous use of the kettlebells, with no rest, a real challenge for our grip strength.  Also, trying to keep the kettlebells up above our heads for the double kettlebell lunges was a real challenge. This was so tough, that once we tired, we racked them for a few reps, followed by having them hang by our sides. 

This workout was absolutely exhausting and we recommend trying it for a great strength and cardiovascular challenge!  Let us know how it goes for you!
