    Introduction Welcome to the down and dirty part of this package. In the following pages I will expose you to fifty conditioning workouts that have been designed, implemented, and utilized to facilitate high levels of conditioning for those who have trained with me in some capacity over the years. Youll no doubt notice the simple nature of the workouts. Nothing presented here is showy, and the overwhelming majority of the movements and combinations of movements herein possess little to no sex appeal. These workouts are designed to assist you in accomplishing your conditioning goals, to challenge you, and to harden you both physically and mentally. If this isnt your first rodeo with Greyskull products, youll recognize my style of presentation. If this is your first exposure to my work, I apologize for the lack of flashy photography in front of infinite white backgrounds, and the use of attractive models to demo the movements. Wait no I dont. This book is a DIY project created for you, the real deal, hardcore trainee who is more concerned with the efficiency and efficacy of the work, and not the high budget, mass market production of the content within. If youve skipped to this volume, and havent read the accompanying system handbook, I highly encourage you to close this one out, and read the handbook first. If you have read the handbook, and are ready to get to work building a stronger, harder, more resilient, iron lunged, sexy as fuck version of yourself, then blaze on and lets fucking go.

    Workout 1. Complex- Power Snatch, Overhead Squat, Bar Pushup 2 sets of 10 reps One bar, three movements, one hard-bodied outcome. For this complex you will require a barbell loaded to a weight that will allow you to complete all of the required movements. The complex begins with a power snatch, executed from the floor. Once the bar is overhead at the top of the movement, you then perform an overhead squat. Upon completing the overhead squat you return the bar to the floor and execute a bar pushup; a conventional pushup performed with your hands on the barbell. The above constitutes one repetition of the complex. This workout calls for two sets of ten repetitions. Each set of ten is timed and recorded, and you can break as necessary between the two sets. Record both the times for your two sets, as well as the weight used. See the following page for photos.

    Here you see the power snatch being executed from the floor. In the second row, you see the bottom position of the overhead squat. After completing the OHS, you will set the bar on the ground and perform a chest-to-bar pushup before standing and beginning the process for the second repetition.

    Workout 2. Burpee, Situp Descending Ladder from 10 (10,10,9,9,8,8) An all-time, gut-wrenching favorite. Descending ladders are commonly used in Greyskull conditioning workouts. They are an excellent way of structuring work so as to provide a light at the end of the tunnel, and to keep the intensity high. In this one, youll perform a set of nine burpees, followed immediately by nine situps, and then perform eight burpees and eight situps, etc. The buzzer rings when you complete your last situp. Push this one hard to get your time down, and you will reap the rewards in the form of a hard body and iron lungs. See next page for photos.

    Workout 3. Complex- Hang Power Clean + Push Press (x2), Front Squat 20 reps Another diabolically deceptive barbell complex. One repetition of this complex consists of:

    One power clean from the hang position Two push presses One front squat

    The task at hand here is twenty reps of the complex. Record both time to completion, and the weight used on the bar. See next page for photo description.

    Workout 4. Burpee From Hell 40 reps As if the burpee didnt suck enough, I give you the Burpee from Hell. The first portion of this movement is the same as the conventional burpee, but where it differs is that instead of jumping back to your feet, you roll onto your back and touch your toes to the floor over your head. From there you roll back up to your feet and jump at the top to end the rep. Forty of these for time will have you wishing youd picked a different workout for today, but will harden your body in no time flat

    See the following page for more detail on the BFH.

    Workout 5. Gladiator Pushup x 5, Ketllebell Swing x 10 5 sets DBs and KBs living in perfect harmony. In this guy, youre going to be doing one of my favorite DB moves, the Gladiator Pushup. These are actually quite simple; you begin with hands on the bells, perform a pushup, and then point the left bell up towards the sky. You then perform another pushup, and raise the right bell to the sky. That whole thing counts as one rep. The swing you should damn well know how to do by now. Remember that were swinging to eye level here. Knock out 5 reps of the Gladiator Pushup, then transition to the swing for 10 reps. Repeat the entire process for a total of five sets. Record the weights used (go heavy on the KB), and the total time to completion. (See next two pages for Gladiator Pushup and Kettlebell Swing Descriptions)

    The Gladiator Pushup (Half rep shown. Complete the process for

    the other side as well to make one complete rep)

  • JohnnyPainLive.com 2016 Villain Publishing 14

    The Kettlebell Swing As you can see, I want you swinging the bell to eye level on each rep.

    There is no need to swing the bell higher than that.

  • JohnnyPainLive.com 2016 Villain Publishing 15

    Workout 6. Turkish Getup, Chinup Descending Ladder from 8 I enjoy incorporating Turkish Getups into conditioning work; not because of some functional/tactical advantage that they offer, but because they involve a ton of muscle, and make you earn each rep, particularly later in the session. For this one youll perform eight TGUs followed by eight chin-ups, and then continue the pattern in one of my infamous descending ladders. ***For this one, a Left OR Right getup will count as one rep (as opposed to my notation of L+R=1 which means that a getup must be performed on each side to complete one rep).*** Record the TGU weight, and the overall time. (See next page for Turkish Getup Description)

    Workout 7. Front Squat x 10, 100m Dash 5 sets Simple and effective; the Greyskull way. Using a moderately weighted bar (something in the 95lb territory for a relative newbie), bust out ten rapid-fire Front Squats and then embark on a hard, one hundred meter dash. Repeat the process for a total of five sets. As always, record the weight on the bar, and the total time to completion.

    The Front Squat

  • JohnnyPainLive.com 2016 Villain Publishing 18

    Workout 8. Overhead Squat x 10, Floor Wiper x 10 3 sets This one will allow you to showcase your grace, or lack thereof. Using a manageable, but challenging weight on a bar, perform ten overhead squats, and then immediately transition to ten floor wipers. Run through this three times and then curse me for the rest of the day. Youll want to use the same bar for both movements, so be mindful of that in selecting your weight. (See Workout 1 for Overhead Squat description)

    The Floor Wiper

  • JohnnyPainLive.com 2016 Villain Publishing 19

    Workout 9. Sledgehammer Swing x 30, 400m Dash 2 sets Brutal, simple, and loaded with carryover to the physical needs of a monster. Smash your tire target with the heaviest sledgehammer you have for a total of thirty hits. You can alternate hands each swing, change hands half way, or do all of your hits for one set on one side before changing for the next set. Any of the above variations will work, just be sure to record which method you used so your data is solid for next time. After completing your hits on target, knock out the fastest four hundred meter dash that you can. Two sets of this, and call it a day.

    Yeah, just like that.

  • JohnnyPainLive.com 2016 Villain Publishing 20

    Workout 10. Squat x 20, Bear Crawl 40m 4 sets This one is down and dirty, incredibly simple, and requires zero equipment. Mark out a 20m or 40m course (20m if you plan on turning around and executing your squats in the same location each time), and bust out a set of twenty bodyweight squats. Once youve completed the squats, bear crawl your way to the end of your marked course (or the turnaround point), and repeat for a total of four sets. You may want to wear gloves if youre doing this one on asphalt, particularly hot asphalt, as many at Greyskull have learned. See next page for photos.

    Workout 11. Overhead Dumbbell Situp x 10, DB Burpee x 5 3 sets This one combines two of my favorite methods of dumbbell torture into one, diabolically effective cocktail. Knock out ten overhead dumbbell situps before transitioning to a dumbbell burpee for ten reps. Repeat three times. If you dont feel queasy on this one, youre either not working hard enough, or you need to man up and bump up the size of the bells next time.

    Workout 12. Windshield Wiper x 10, Kettlebell Swing x 20 4 sets This one is a nasty piece of work that will have your midsection feeling toasted in the days after. Position a Kettlebell of your choosing near your pull-up bar, and knock out ten, solid windshield wipers, (shown below) followed by twenty KB swings for a total of 4 sets without rest in between. Record your time, and demolish it next time out.

    The Windshield Wiper

  • JohnnyPainLive.com 2016 Villain Publishing 25

    Workout 13. Kettlebell Turkish Getup + Snatch x 2 3 sets of 5 Here Im putting a spin on the traditional TGU by adding two KB snatches at the top of the movement. For this one, L+R=1 on the getups, that means that you will perform a getup with the left arm, do two snatches, return to the ground with the KB in the left, then perform a getup with the right arm, knock out two snatches at the top, and return to the ground with the KB in the right to make one rep. Three sets of 5 reps of this complex and call it a day. Rest one or two minutes between sets, and record the weight used as well as the overall time to completion. (See workout 6 for TGU description, See next page for KB Snatch Description)

    Workout 14. Situp x 50, 800m Dash Situp x 40, 400 m Dash Situp x 30, 100 m Dash Straightforward and nasty. For this one youll either be hitting the track, or using measured courses for the run portions. Simply complete the required number of situps for each set, and then run like hell for the required distance. Record your time to completion.

    Hit it hard.

  • JohnnyPainLive.com 2016 Villain Publishing 28

    Workout 15. Dumbbell Burpee x 10, 400m Dash 2 sets Time to throw down. Grab your DBs and head to the track (or use a measured 400m course instead). Rep out ten dumbbell burpees; theyre just like a burpee except minus the jump at the top, and with a pair of wind resisting dumbbells in your hands. After youve completed 10 reps, hit the track immediately for a hard, 400m dash. Upon completion of your grueling sprint, repeat the whole process one more time before calling it a day. Record your DB weight, and your total time to completion. (See Workout 11 For DB Burpee Description)

    Dont Dog it on this one.

  • JohnnyPainLive.com 2016 Villain Publishing 29

    Workout 16. 50m Barbell Waiters Walk 50m Sprint 5 sets The simplest way to tackle this one is to measure out a 25-meter course, and include a turnaround in each trip. Savagely hoist a barbell over your head and head to the turnaround point and back, drop the barbell (actually, set it down so as not to be confused with a CrossFitter) and sprint down to the turnaround and back. Repeat the process for a total of five sets. Record the weight used and the total time to completion. Note: Go heavy on this. If youre knocking it out in next to no time, stop being a vag and load the bar.

    Deliver the meat, you waiter you.

    Workout 17. IMT Situp 100 Reps This aint your Grandmamas situp Place two heavy dumbbells on the ground to anchor your feet. Holding a plate (or rifle for extra HOOAH factor) perform a situp while holding the object in front of your chest/face area. At the top of the movement, explosively stand to your feet, and thrust the object over your head, press style. Sit back down and fire again for a total of 100 reps on the clock. Record your time, and the object, or weight used. See next page for photos.

    Workout 18. Kettlebell Swing to Goblet Squat x 5, Burpee x 5 7 sets This one requires a very small footprint in order to complete. All you will need is a kettlebell, and a bit of room to flail yourself about, to and from the ground. The KB swing to goblet squat combination is one that Ive used quite a bit in my conditioning programs over the years, and its pretty simple. Simply swing the bell (to eye level as always), then on the second swing, catch the bell between your two palms, hold it to your chest, and knock out a deep squat. Youll be doing 5 reps of this combo, followed by 5 burpees (which represents one set), for a total of 7 sets. Record the weight of the bell used, and your total time to completion. Be sure to pick a KB that challenges you here, no featherweight bells unless that truly represents a challenge to you at this point. See next page for photo description of the KB swing to Goblet Squat.

    Workout 19. Dumbbell Squat and Press x 20, 100m Dash Dumbbell Squat and Press x 15, 100m Dash Dumbbell Squat and Press x 10, 100m Dash A nasty descending ladder (you know I love those) of sorts. Select a few dumbbells that make you cringe at the thought of doing 45 total reps of the squat and press, and take them to the track or your pre-marked 50m course. Crush 20 reps of the DB squat and press and then hit a hard 100m dash as if the consequence of running too slow was a week of hard labor shoveling shit on a donkey farm that uses Tequila and Mexican food for Donkey feed. Repeat the process down the line; 15 reps then another 100m, then 10 reps and a final 100m. Record your weight used, and your total time to completion. See next page for photos

    The Dumbbell Squat and Press

  • JohnnyPainLive.com 2016 Villain Publishing 36

    Workout 20. Bar Pushup x 5, Front Squat x 5 10 sets of 5 Just you, the bar, and the drive that differentiates you from the weak masses. This one is a personal favorite of mine. Load up a bar with a weight that is heavy enough to matter, but that you can easily clean into place. With your hands on the bar, knock out 5 pushups, chest to bar. From there, clean the bar to the rack position and bust out 5 front squats, nice and deep. Repeat for a total of 10 sets, and record both the bar weight, and total time to completion.

    All this talk of bars reminds me of my favorite watering hole. Oh the times I had there cleaning the place up. R.I.P. Wade Garrett.

  • JohnnyPainLive.com 2016 Villain Publishing 37

    Workout 21. Pushup, Situp Descending Ladder from 12 Simplicity at its finest. Try to create an excuse as to why you are unable to do this one, I dare you. This one requires zero equipment, and next to nothing in terms of a footprint of space needed. Simply perform twelve pushups followed by twelve situps, and continue in the descending ladder format until you reach one and one. This one Ive used extensively, with excellent results, as an aid in bringing up PT test scores for members of all armed forces branches here in the states. Gut-check time. How fast can you get it done?

    Workout 22. Dumbbell Pushup + Row, DB Overhead Situp Descending Ladder from 7 You know me and these descending ladders. A passionate encounter between you and two dumbbells. The pushup+row is simple. Place your hands on the bells to knock out a rep of the pushup. When you reach the top of the movement, perform a row with your left arm. Replace the dumbbell to the starting position and knock out another pushup, followed by a row on the right arm. Two pushups and a row on each arm counts as one rep of the pushup+row. The Overhead Dumbbell Situp is equally simple. Be sure to anchor your feet. Keep the bells up in the air through the entire range of motion. Theyll start about in the top of the bench press position, and end up at the top position of the press. Knock out seven reps of the pushup+row, and then transition to seven reps of the DB Overhead Situp. Move on to six and six, and work your way all the way down to one and one. Record the weight of the DBs used, and the total time to completion. See next page for photos of DB Pushup + Row See Workout 11 for Overhead DB Situp

    Workout 23. Overhead Squat x 15, 400m Dash 2 sets Another simple sprint couplet (If these werent so damned effective, I wouldnt make such frequent use of them with my guys). Grab your moderately weighted barbell, and get ready to make the lungs and midsection pay. Knock out fifteen overhead squats followed by a four hundred meter dash, and follow it up with a second round. Record your weight used, and your time to completion, and do battle with bringing that time down on your next attempt.

Load up a bar with a weight that you can smoke for sets of five on the Front Squat, and position near your chinning bar. Complete 5 reps of the front squat, followed by 5 dead hang chins to make one set. Set your countdown timer for 7 minutes, and complete as many sets of this duo as possible. Record the weight on the bar, and the total number of sets completed.

    If you kip, do it in the privacy of your closet.

    Workout 26. 50m Dumbbell Waiter/Farmer Walk, Dumbbell Front Squat x 10 4 sets More hell on the midsection. Dont puss out on the weight on these! For this one you will need a measured out, 50m course. Youll be doing a combination Waiter/Farmer walk, meaning that youll be holding one bell up over your head, and the other down at your side. Start by covering the 50m distance in this manner, and then, holding both DBs in the rack position, knock out 10 front squats. Repeat this process for a total of four sets (alternating hand positions on each set). Record your DB weight, and total time to completion. (See next page for movement descriptions)

Hang from the bar and bring your knees to your chest, taking care not to generate momentum and rock, for ten reps. Dismount the bar and knock out ten reps of the bodyweight squat to mark the completion of one round.

Simple stuff, knock out 10 reps of the KB swing to goblet squat, then haul ass on a hard 100m dash. Youll be hitting this for a total of 6 sets, and youre being timed, so none of this breaks between sets nonsense. Record the weight of the bell used, and your total time to completion.

Starting with your hands on the bar in the pushup position, knock out a solid, chest to bar pushup. Upon completing that, and while keeping your hands on the bar, hop to your feet and execute a clean and press. From there, return to the bar pushup position, knock out another pushup, then adjust your hands and hit a power snatch to complete the complex. Set the timer for 7 minutes, and hit as many reps of the complex as possible before the buzzer. See next page for photos of the above complex

    Pushup Row left Pushup Row Right

Repeat the process for a total of four sets. Record both the barbell weight and KB weight, and the total time to completion.

    Workout 37. Gladiator Pushup x 5, Typewriter Pullup x 5 Max Sets in 7 minutes Nasty spin on classic exercise time. You know the deal with the Gladiator pushup by now; with your hands on a pair of DBs, knock out a pushup, then row the left bell up to your side and extend it towards the sky. Replace the bell, knock out another pushup, and do the same with your right to make one rep. For the typewriter pullup, pull yourself up to the bar, then slide yourself over to your left hand, then to your right, then back to center and down to make one rep. The complex here consists of 5 reps of each movement to make one complete set. The task here is as many total sets as possible on a 7-minute clock.

    The Typewriter Pullup

    Tommy begins at a dead hang, then pulls up, throat to bar as normal. From there he slides his head and body over to his left

    hand, then over to his right before returning to the center and lowering down to a hang. This process constitutes one rep of

    the Typewriter.

    Workout 38. Burpee Broad Jump x 10, Kettlebell Swing x 20 3 sets Stand flat-footed and execute a broad jump. Note where you land and mark the distance from the start point just a bit inside. To perform a burpee broad jump, do a burpee as you normally would, but jump out for distance instead of up at the top. When you land, turn around, knock out another burpee and jump back to where you began. Hit 10 of these and then 20 KB swings to make one set. Three sets of this timed, and then call it a day. See next page for Burpee Broad Jump photos.

    Workout 39. Dumbbell Front Squat, Push Press, Squat and Press 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off for 10 minutes A Greyskull classic complex. Hold two DBs in the rack position. Knock out a front squat. When you return to the start position, dip your knees slightly and hit a push press. After returning the bells to the start position again, combine the movements and execute a squat and press (what CrossFitters call a handjob. I mean a thruster). One time through these three movements makes a set. Execute as many sets as you can in 30 seconds, rest 30 seconds, and repeat in this manner for 10 minutes. Its acceptable to put the bells on the ground while resting.
