So, Hardcore Finishers 1.0 wasn’t enough eh? NOPE! I’m back with Hardcore Finishers 2.0 and let me tell you that it’s only gotten more insane. Now, before I get into the NEW series of the 31 Hardcore Workouts Finishers I have for you below, let me briefly talk about the WHY behind these… Hardcore Workout Finishers were created with a few things in mind…

1) To be extremely effective at getting YOU faster RESULTS (fat loss, muscle gain, insane increases in overall conditioning)

2) To pose extremely tough challenges that not only push you to new levels of fitness and performance, but will also push you to get better each and every time you train.

3) To be innovative and FUN because who wants to stick to the same ol’ conventional methods of training all the time? It’s time to break the rules and take things to a whole new level!

Within Hardcore Finishers 2.0, you’ll discover a great combination of fast hitting circuits, supersets, and unique combinations of highly functional and effective movements that will yield you with powerful results in strength, power, and overall endurance. You will be tested through both mind and body so make sure to prepare yourself for war ;)

If you’re NOT currently using finishers to end out your training sessions, it’s time to start doing the right way!

It’s time to Destroy Your Training Sessions… BUILD RESULTS!

HOW To Use These Finishers: The BEST way to use these finishers is to hit them up AFTER your main workout. You can also choose to use these as standalone training sessions if you happen to be short on time and need a quick and intense workout. Rainy Day Workout? These Hardcore Finishers work perfectly ;) HOW To Keep TRACK Of Your RESULTS: Make sure you keep track of how you do with each workout finisher. It would be a good idea to always write down and keep tabs on when you use these finishers and how you perform. In other words, write down the weight you use for each movement, how long it took you to finish, and any other information that you can use down the road to help you track your overall progress (and to keep you motivated for better results). I make it easy for you to do so as I note how to SCORE each finisher with the details. Bottom Line - Make each finisher a personal CHALLENGE and get after it and break records every time you go. Other then these main points, there’s really are no other “RULES” to using these finishers! I’ve already got everything laid out for you so the only thing you need to really worry about is going 110% H.A.M. and having fun! It’s like I say, treat every session as an ALL OUT WAR. Push yourself, put in the work, and you’ll see gains. Here’s to finishing off your session’s right! Live and Train Aggressive! Travis

Quick Workout Training Session Reference

Explanation of Finishers: Each of your finishers are outlined by numbers and letters. You’ll see a 1A), 2A) ect before each movement. When you see 2 or more of the same NUMBERS (1A), 1B), 1C)) this means that these movements are joined together in either a superset OR circuit meaning you would perform 1A) first followed by 1B) second, then 1C next, and so on and so forth. You are allowed to take a break when you have completed ALL of the movements under that letter. Supersets and circuits are meant to have NO rest between movements (unless listed specifically). Recording Your Finishers: Make sure you are writing down each and every finisher that you do so you can see the time it was completed in, the weights you used, the reps you did, and the sets you completed. It would be wise for you to get a notebook and make it your new HARDCORE training workbook. This is essential. You must be able to measure your progress and the BEST way to do this is by writing and recording every training session we do down in a workbook. Make NO EXCUSES here! This needs to be done for you to be most successful! E.M.O.T.M: This stands for Every Minute on The Minute and it’s an interval you will be using to build up some serious strength and endurance all at once! Basically, you’ll hit your movements for the allotted amount of reps and whatever time you have left at the end of your sets will serve as your rest period. AMRAP: If you see this, it stands for “As Many Rounds As Possible” and I’ll use these to help you build up more conditioning and endurance not to mention mental strength as well. With this type of set up, I usually have a set amount of time listed for you to follow and you just simply get after it for that amount of time. You’ll rest when you need to, but the bottom line is that you’re going at your pace.

RAT: This stands for Remaining Amount of Time and when you see this, basically what you will do is perform the prescribed amount of reps for the movement associated with it in a superset or circuit and then perform the paired movement for as many reps as possible for the remaining amount of time. Here’s an example:

4A) E.M.O.T.M. x 7 mins

a) Squat Clean x 4 (use any strength tool you want – SB, DB’s, KB’s, Barbell, ect)

b) Burpee x R.A.T. (remaining amount of time)

For this set up, you would perform the Squat Clean 1st x 4 reps then with the remaining amount of time left in the minute, you would do burpees for as many reps as possible until the minute is up.

So if it takes you 30 secs to complete the Squat Clean reps, that means you have 30 secs to do as many burpees as you can until the minute is up

How to Choose Your Weights: When it comes to picking the amount of weight to use within your sets, follow these guidelines:

-make sure you can perform the lift with QUALITY technique -make sure you can perform the allotted amount of reps -if you’re missing reps in early sets, you’ve gone way too heavy too early ***For certain lifts and workouts, you’ll use prescribe % of weight based off of your 1-3 Rep Max
