Article: Train Like A Man

Pretty sure I'm going to try this tonight!
 
A 20 minute, timed workout with high bodyweight reps being the ultimate goal? This is one box jump away from a crossfit wod. And what kind of "Mantathlon" doesn't include squats or any leg exercise at all?
 
Dang! Half-bodyweight barbell curls? Not quite there yet. Got a new goal now!
 
I like this, I think I'll take a shot at making a variation of the this for core and legs as well. Anyone have any suggestions?
 
Add 1 1/2 body weight squats and 2x body weight deads. Bump the scoring up to 140 and you got a pretty good challenge.

Man that would be killer... Would have to save those for last and maybe extend the time by like 10min. Also maybe start with the chin up and curls to give the back a good rest before proceeding to deads. I may try this with lighter weight to see how it goes and then maybe try this once a month to see my progress.
 
Let us know what kind of routine you decide. I'd like to give this a shot, but I know I cannot curl half my bodyweight. At least, not yet.
 
Pretty sure, gauging what I know of myself, I could pull off 85 reps for sure. With a nice 20g creatine load, I might could do 90. I'll have to give this a try sometime in the summer after a cut.
