conditioning | rosstraining | mah work capacity

Been reading ross trainings book "never gymless" a ton recently. That dude is:
1. motivating as fuck. Hes in his 40s and has maintained a stellar work capacity
2. On an ethos plane of existence that i can get behind.

Im still getting bigger and stronger doing what i do, but the worst part about age is feeling lethargic. Thats not because you cant have energy past age (fill in the war story blank). Its because god mode slowly gets turned off and you have to work harder for what you want.

In never going to abandon size and strength, but Ross' ethos is rooted in conditioning and power. I need that in my life right now.

This workout told me my work capacity absolutely sucks. Just fucking abysmal. This is a great thing. It means im going to level up quickly because theres a ton of room to improve.

4 rounds
Burpees
Ring Pullups
Bulgarian split squats 
Pushups 

Round 1 60s per exercise
2 45s
3 30s
4 15s

The only thing i would change here is switching out burpees with bear/crab walks. My back just isnt up to jumps yet.

This workout has an optional footnote of isometrics later in the day. To be continued.

Edit: Isometric workout
