    Most intense workouts? Hmmm, riding 50 miles on my bike at a 20mph pace. Running a 10k in 45 minutes. Benching 50lbs over my body weight multiple times. Heavy Squats. Did I mention deadlifts? Pulling 350lbs off the ground feels pretty intense. Lifting 150lbs over my head. Oh, and long walks in the park...

    If you've been doing the same workout for "a few years," even with variations, I would think that it is no longer stretching your physical capacity.

    What is the point and goal of this program? Seems like overkill on a pretty high level...

    It's not a program, it's one workout that I use to diversify my weekly exercise routine. The point is that I can capably finish it, the faster I go the harder it is. The slower I go the easier it is. My ultimate goal is to increase practical strength and endurance. What is your most intense workout? I can't be the only one doing something other than light walking for a workout.

    When not injured, I focus on a progressive lifting program that utilizes compound lifts so that I can optimize my limited time in the gym.

    Doesn't seem like fun to have to consult the list every 45 seconds to see what the next exercise is.

    And wrist curls?

    I memorized the workout having done it with slight variations for the last few years.

    Wrist curls:

    Palm flat face up. Arm bent 90 degrees, elbow tucked into side, forearm level with ground. Kettlebell handle resting on fingers, around the 2nd knuckle area. Keeping fingers grouped together, bend at the wrist and lower kettle bell while curling fingers slightly to avoid dropping the kettlebell. Once you reach the lowest position, maintaining a level forearm position, raise the kettle bell bending only at the wrist. Keep the fingers together and lift the kettlebell as high as your wrist allows without the kettlebell sliding into your palm. Doing 20 repetitions properly you will feel how effective it is for your grip strength and forearm muscles, all the way from the wrist to the elbow. It's helped me with improving pushup count, rowing endurance, and other endurances with my hobbies (playing drums, woodworking).

    Heh. You thought my question was because I didn't know what wrist curls were?

    Dude, you may need to get into another line of business if you don't know what wrist curls are. I am disappoint.

    Yes. Yes it was.

    So basically a metabolic conditioning circuit?

    No, I don't do this type of workout.

    And how many towels do you hang to keep it all reserved?
