100 Money Makers w/ 62# Kettlebell

The Money Makers are like eight-count bodybuilders except they begin with a double Long Cycle Clean and Press. Once the k-bells are extended overhead, they are then lowered back down to the racked position and then to the floor. From this position, a push-up is executed. We then stand up and start over again.

I wish I could say that I cranked these out straight without stopping; however, the truth is that these are extremely tough. I had to break them down into 20 sets of 5 with an average of two minutes rest between sets. At 50 reps I was at 30:09, having ripped the calluses on my left hand, leaving a dime-sized open area in my palm. I had to go with gloves for the rest of the workout. Immediately after I was done, I doused my hands in sanitizing gel. I would rather have been water-boarded! Time: 58:35, a beginning standard for the first time performing this workout.
