Interval Weight Training (IWT)
Interval Weight Training (IWT) was developed by Pat O’Shea in 1969 and has been made popular by Gym Jones. An IWT workout is an intense type of interval work utilising a combination of athletic lifts and free aerobic exercise.
The cross training of athletic type lifting for full range strength and free exercise for anaerobic power, has a major impact on developing explosive power endurance (and can also be great for torching some unwanted body fat!). This type of work utilises a greater percentage of the body’s muscle mass.
To get the most out of these kinds of workouts requires you to give a near maximal effort on each and every round. When you hop on the row, ski or bike be prepared to push yourself! These workouts are tough, but the rewards for your efforts are tremendous.
IWT
Every 4 minutes x 3
8 Hang Power Cleans @ around 65% 1RM
Row or Ski/Bike 60 seconds @ 90+% effort (Hard but not all out)
Rest 5 minutes
Every 4 minutes x 3
8 Front Squats @ around 65% 1RM
Row or Ski/Bike 60 seconds @ 90+% effort (Hard but not all out. Choose a different option to before)
Rest 5 minutes
5 minutes for quality:
10 Sit Ups
10 Hollow Leg Raises
10 Press Ups
20 second Front Leaning Rest
- You should be able to move through all sets of the 8 reps of Strength/Power exercises unbroken but without concern for how long your set takes.
- After the 8 reps move straight onto the Row, Ski or Bike and set off on your 60 second effort.
- You should be getting around 2-2.5 minutes of rest between each round.
- If you Row in the first part, use Ski or Bike in the second part. If you Ski/Bike in the first part, use Row in the second part.
- No scores for this workout, though it is worth noting your distances on the cardio machine to give yourself a target to try and beat in future weeks.
