25 Pistols on a bench(alternate legs)

25 Walking lunges

25 Burpees

This is a 200 rep workout. It will take a while, so pace yourself. A "Chipper" is designed with many reps of many movements, in order to make the athlete feel like they've been through a wood chipper. :)

A major point on a chipper is to maintain focus and form while fatigued. Remember the burpees last time? Technique tends to go when you're breathing hard. Try not to let that happen. If I give a correction during the workout, SLOW DOWN and get it right. Nobody's going to blaze through this thing.

Two video doses today. First, Pavel "The Evil Russian" Tsatsouline demonstrates the full pistol:
