What's NYE without a kick-ass workout and a sweat angel to ring in the new year?

Let's get to his workout. You can thank Ron, @ftafitness_training for this hell of a workout.

Workout 2: "Oh No Curtis P"

This heater of a workout comes from our very own Peter Keller. This workout was something he used to endure on New Year's Eve at Atomic Athlete, a gym very near and dear to PK's heart here in Austin.

This is primarily a barbell workout, but can be done with kettlebells, dumbbells, or odd-objects. Whatever you've got works, as long as it can be power cleaned, front racked, and push pressed.

Here we go. 100 Curtis P's for time:

A single Curtis P is comprised of one power clean, one forward lunge on each leg, plus a push press to finish the rep.

Gear Needed: 20kg Wonder Bar (bushing), 15kg Wonder Bar (bushing), 2x 25lb plates and 2x 5lb plates, or 2x 15lb plates and 2x 2.5lb plates, kettlebells, or dumbbells

Workout #3: Karen

150 Wall Balls for time (20/14#)

WOOF, we went there. Karen is a simple, straightforward, yet grueling sprint of a workout that'll leave you huffing and puffing and shaking out your legs for longer than you'd expect. That's why we love. That sneaky Karen ;)

Want to up this workout a notch? Switch over to 30#/20# wall ball instead. You're in for a real treat with this one!!

Gear needed: 20lb Med Ball, 14lb Med Ball, 30lb Wall Ball
