21/15/9/5/3/1 Rep Scheme

[seekinggod96]

Just for the hell of it, I did this rep scheme while doing a WOD at home the other day:21/15/9/5/3/1. It was kind of fun. That last 5/3/1 is really frantic and I think the key is to focus on fast transitions. Try to make that last "1" as perfect a rep as possible.

In case you're wondering, I did it with:

• Strict dumbbell overhead press
• Kettlebell swings
• Hollow rocks

But it works with anything, really.

@seekinggod96 Our gym likes to do 21-18-15-12-9-6-3-1 sometimes and FML

@dawn16 Yeah. Normally like thrusters and bar over burpees when we do these horrible rep schemes.

@seekinggod96 I've always done it as 21/15/9/6/3/1 = 55 reps

@seekinggod96 That brings back bad memories of 16.5. 21/18/15/12/9/6/3 Thrusters and burpees.

@seekinggod96 This is the kind of rep scheme I would excel at. I am fast at transitions, and I usually just cruise until the last round or two and then hit the gas. That last 5/3/1 would a mad house

 

[russg]

@irishgirl2 I'd call it the pain cave, not the mad house. Everything you have left.

@seekinggod96 I’ve done the same sequence but with dumbbell snatches and toes to bar. It’s was a fun day to say the least
