Sunday's Post Supercross Workout - Nola
by Racer X Virtual Trainer
Think you can go all out like the pros do in a 450 main event? Time to prove it in this Greg Hammond designed all-out AMRAP (As Many Reps As Possible) workout. In case you are wondering, Greg is our Concept2 rep and is all about motocross, rowing, and crossfit. He's even good for a few laughs on Twitter.
AMRAP for duration of 450 main event. New Orlean's main event time was 18:05.
Take the numbers of the first 4 riders for Supercross main event and that is your reps for the workout. It is like the lottery! For last night's race the finishing order was Villopoto (#1), Grant (#33), Brayton (#10) and Metcalf (#24). So that makes the total number of reps 68 per round.
The Movements
Warm up with either a 1 mile run, a 5 mile bike, or 3000 meter Row or SkiErg
Tuck jump = 1 rep for RV’s #1 plate
Air Squat = 33 reps for Josh Grant’s #33 plate
Burpees = 10 for Brayton's #10 plate
Knees to elbows = 24 reps for Metcalf's #24 plate
Couple of Rules:
- Tuck Jump - knees must come past your hips.
- Air Squats - quads have to go past parallel. In other words get those butts close to the floor!
- Burpees - You MUST touch your chest to the floor. Jump at the end is optional.
- Knees to Elbows - ummm, well, your knees must touch your elbows.
How to do the challenge.
- It's very easy to follow. Set a stop watch for 18 minutes 5 seconds (the same time it took Ryan Villopoto to complete the 450 main event in New Orleans).
- Perform 1 tuck jump then immediately do 33 air squats, then immediately do 10 burpees, then 24 knees to elbows.
- Once you complete the knees to elbows, go back to the tuck jump and repeat the circuit until time runs out.
- Count your total number of reps for each exercise (or total number of circuits completed).
The winner will get:
A free 1-hour phone consult with Coach Seiji. Seiji is Andrew Short's trainer and he loves to talk training and help riders. You can talk to him about anything you like for 1 -hour. To win, you must video tape your results and post them on YouTube.
Good luck and be thankful Mike Alessi (#800) crashed with 5 laps to go. He was running 3rd at the time. Imagine 800 burpees......

I hate to admit it, but right now the answer is... NO, I cannot go all out like the pros do in a 450 main.
I subbed in a 195# c&j for the tuck jump (figure I crashed and had to bike up my bike) and only got 4 + 33. Shoot, I'm outta shape!
Don't worry about it Joe. That workout in particular is tough. At least you tried it and are on the road to being more fit!
"Becoming more fit" ? Joe is a monster! When I grow up I would love to be as fit as Joe. Hopefully see you in Carson in July.- Greg
Holy moly! Just finished up. Got 4 rounds plus 1 jump/23 squats. I got a video- now I just need to figure out how to post it! Never videoed me working out before so it was an eye opener. I thought I was going really far down on my squats and it turns out, I could definitely use to go lower. Thanks for the insane workout, Greg!
Well I got 3 rounds +1 Tuck Jump. It was rough but was awesome! Keep the good ones coming HollyWood Hammond!
