Move 3: Bodyweight Row

Grab a bar with an overhand, shoulder-width grip. Hang with your arms completely straight and your hands positioned directly above your shoulders.

That’s one rep.
Do as many as you can in 45 seconds; rest for 15 seconds, then continue to the next exercise.

Move 4: Decline Pushups

Get into plank position, with your hands underneath your shoulders and place your feet on a box or bench. This increases the amount of your body weight you have to lift, making the exercise harder. Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor. Pause, then push back to the starting position as quickly as possible. That’s one rep.
Do as many as you can in 60 seconds, and immediately continue to the next exercise.
