Grab a stopwatch and get ready to serve some time. In this workout, you're going to perform two exercises back to back, one with your trusty sandbag or heavy object, one with nothing but your bodyweight and some explosive effort.
Reps are performed in descending order on your weighted moves and ascending order on your jumps, alternating back and forth, reducing or adding one rep at a time until they finally meet in the middle, creating the apocryphal 'valley'. Then push o through to the end. The only reps that count are the first your do and the last.
