Getting Strong with Workout Muse Interval Training Music
By Ryan Ketchum of Bloomington Fitness Boot Camp
I developed my passion for strength and conditioning in an atmosphere where we lifted heavy and we lifted heavy often. During my time as a young athlete and then collegiate track and field athlete my time in the gym was spent getting as big and strong as possible.
Although my goals have changed and I am much more intelligent about my training now, I still have the urge to push some weight around, but I don’t have the time to spend hours in the gym lifting heavy. Workout Muse allows me to mix my fast paced training style with the “heavy” lifting of my past with the new 30-30 Mayhem interval workout music.
We use the 30-30 tracks to incorporate more strength based moves that need adequate rest time to be performed optimally. It is tough to jump squat at max intensity for 50 seconds or do 20 seconds of pull ups with 10 seconds of rest and repeat it all over again. I can however incorporate about any strength or power based movement into a workout using the 30-30 Mayhem tracks. It gives me just enough time to get in a quality number of reps with the necessary intensity and also rest long enough to recover for the next movement.
Add in the fact that you are still working with an alternating set program design and you can get one heck of conditioning workout as well!
I know it is darn near impossible to chase to two opposing goals at the same time, but this is about as close as it gets for gaining strength while also building optimal conditioning and staying lean.
Wil and I recently completed a training session that was brutal, check out the video below:
The workout consisted of the following:
1- Left Side Rear Foot Elevated Split Squat
2- Right Side Rear Foot Elevated Split Squat
3- TRX Muscle Up
4- TRX Atomic Push Up
The goal of the workout was to use the heaviest load or most difficult progressions possible that allowed you to complete the entire 30 second work period with perfect form and technique… total 30-30 Mayhem baby!
