Description: Pyramid Rep Challenge

I’ve been wanting to do this workout for so long but the bars at the gym always seemed way too heavy. I bought my own bar just so I could do this workout and I loved it! ❤️😊

Okay I started this thinking it wouldn’t be super hard but man was I wrong!! This workout is tough but so good!🥵

Always love Kelsey's challenges but this THE BEST.

Pyramid reps: complete the 4 exercises back to back. You will start with 1 rep then go to 2, then 3, then 4, etc. So do 1 rep of exercise 1, exercise 2, exercise 3, then exercise 4. Then you will do 2 reps of all 4 exercises, and continue up until 7 reps and then put go down in reps by 1 rep each round.

*USE BARBELL WITH NO WEIGHT OR LIGHT PRE-LOADED BARBELL* it’s a lot of rep so go light with something you can use for all exercises to make things quick!

Holding the barbell a little below your hips pull the bar up with an upright row motion then rotate your wrists to get your arms under the bar. Then do a shoulder press.

If you use a heavier weight bend at your hip a little with knees slightly bent to help give you momentum to get the bar up.

Keep the bar close to your body the whole time. 

You should feel this movement in your shoulders

Barbell Clean and Press Variation

- Slowly lower the bar with a slight bend in your knees, hinging at the hips and keeping your back straight
- Lower weight until you feel a slight stretch in your hamstrings
- Drive your hips forward and use your hamstrings to power back to standing

Barbell RDL

- Start with barbell in front rack
- Push your hips back and lower to parallel
- Press through your heels to stand up while pressing the barbell up overhead
- Catch the barbell on the way down into the next squat and repeat movement

Barbell thrusters

- Bend over at 45 degrees 
- Row to your belly button keeping your elbows tight 
- Maintain the curvature in your lower back and avoid swinging or bouncing

Bent over barbell row

What a fab wee short sharp burner.  Love it.

I never want to see another med ball again 😫😫😫 …short but major burner! 🔥🔥🔥

Slam Ball HIIT + Abs

After finishing the shred program and can honestly say I lost a few inches plus body fat, feeling much stronger and leaner. Thank you Kelsey!! ❤️‍🔥 (pictures to come but probably not much but for me I see it and I am extremely excited!! )
That was an great optional workout 🔥

Booty and Core

Omg! Kelsey nailed it on this one. ❤️‘ed the mix-up push-ups at the end! 🤭

Omg!!! These are some great workouts! I’ve been training for 5 years and these are the most challenging and amazing workouts I’ve ever done. So good

Quick HIIT

The abs & booty combo, absolutely loved! Even got a PB on my barbell glute bridges today 🤗

Abs and Booty

This was so awesome! I’ve been following your IG workouts for awhile but needed something I was willing to commit too daily. Completed my first workout and already excited for my journey!!

And that’s a wrap for 2022. Can’t wait to see what Miss Kelsey has in store for 2023 …🤔

Great full body day!! The decline push-ups to Spider-Man’s were super tough. I could only go to failure on these.

HIIT workout + abs (loading) =literally shaking 🔥🔥🔥

HIIT+Abs

OMG! I’m so proud of myself for completing the pyramid challenge. I will definitely be doing this one again

Wow, that was a great workout! Just the right amount of abs and spiked heart rate🙌

Sara

I wasn’t sure I’d make it through this workout about halfway through the hiit but I did it and feel so good!🤩

HIIT and Abs

Great workout! The burpee tuck jumps will always kill me

🔥🔥🔥 loved the intensity on this one!! Major burnout …

HIIT + Abs

Abs was a real HIT!! Only wish I could do the actual HIIT but until clearance, steady state cardio is still working ..😫

Perfect quick HIIT and AB’s to finish out this week’s workout schedule 💯

I loved this HIIT!! It felt like just the right amount of burn and sweat! Love love love Kels!!

Destiney

I didn’t cheat..😂 I wanted to spin 🚴🏼‍♀️ instead of HIIT ; finished with that core and forgot how regular sit-ups can really hit the spot , adding a twist 🤔

Okay, so I only did abs but it was also cardio day….🚴🏼‍♀️

A good, quick, and effective workout for your Saturday!

Literally saw stars at the end. Leg burner is an understatement ! But so good and reason #9999999 why Kelsey’s program works. It’s the constant reminders on some days you might have the bomb workout and other days where you don’t feel like going but afterwards… you feel amazing!

Although, I only did the abs section… well that hurt. Sunday morning cardio & core… done and done.
Solid week 🔥💪🏼💥

one of my favorite combos! great workout when on a time crunch! 🙌🏼

I loved this one- such a steady burn the entire workout!

Paired abs with my cardio run. Switching up my goals a bit for June…. 🤦🏼‍♀️ but I love the twists in the abs from standing to sitting.

OBSESSED with the overhead straddle toe touch! This workout was amazing!

THIS WAS AN INSANE FULL BODY!! Saving as a favorite workout for sure!!! ⚡️🔥👊🏻

Loved this full body strength.. life happened this week so I wasn't able to work out as much as usual so I love having a full body option to hit everything!

Lori

Full. Body. Friday. Strength ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

More like sweaty full body HIIT + abs ❤️‍🔥 it wasn’t the push-ups, but the hop with the pushups… like whoa! Kelsey knows how to turn it up!

#fbf.strength 
Just when you thought Kelsey nailed it, she’s throw in one more exercise to really set you straight and show your strength. That last exercise group… whoa! 🔥

These full body workouts are killer in the best way 😮‍💨
