Choosing Workout Finishers

November 23, 2011 By Gregor Winter

Alwyn Cosgrove on how to choose workout finishers.

  • total body workout 3 days a week -> finisher that focuses on all major muscle groups

Example Finisher: Burpee / Chin up Combo

Burpee/Chin-up Combo (8), rest 40 secs
Burpee/Chin-up Combo (7), rest 40 secs
Burpee Chin-up Combo (6), rest 30 secs
Burpee Chin-up Combo (5), rest 30 secs
Burpee Chin-up Combo (4), rest 20 secs
Burpee Chin-up Combo (3), rest 20 secs
Burpee Chin-up Combo (2), rest 10 secs
Burpee Chin-up Combo (1)

  • metabolic workouts -> no finisher necessary, duh!
  • Finisher for upper / Lower Splits – Pick the opposite of the worked muscle groups

Or keep it simple and do Hill Sprints once a week like Jim Wendler recommends.
