Insanity Max 30 Friday Fight Round 2 - Insanity Max 30 Workout
Insanity Max 30 - Friday Fight Round 2


Hailed to Shaun T as one of the "hardest workouts that he's ever created", there is no doubt that Max 30 Friday Fight Round 2 is tough. But it's not really that the movements that are difficult, it's the fact that each movement is ONE MINUTE LONG, so if you are going hard, it will be pretty easy to MAX OUT early on unless you are pacing yourself.


I am so happy that I finally graduated from Insanity MAX 30! 60 days of brutality from Shaun T ha ha =) But I feel so much stronger, leaner, and glad to say that I have another Beachbody Elite Program under my belt! That's what I love about Beachbody, they are always coming out with different programs, so you will never get bored. It's not about the 21/60/90 day program, it's truly about making it a lifestyle.

This workout is of course 30 minutes long which includes a warm up, 3 rounds, and a cool down. Get ready for a fast-paced workout, and keep your E&E (Energy and Endurance Pre-Workout) on hand!

BattleFrog Series MIAMI - 2015

BattleFrog Series Miami 2015 - BattleFrog Series Obstacle Course Racing
BattleFrog Series Miami - 2015 (Full Race Video below)

I had the opportunity to check out the BattleFrog Series Miami event on February 28th, 2015 and it was nothing short but amazing. I've heard a lot of my friends rave about how it was BETTER than Spartan Race, so I had to check it out myself.

There are a few things that I look into before considering to participate, or film a obstacle course race. Here are some things that I look for:

- How they market themselves, do they have a decent marketing budget, or is this a fly by night gig.
- Do they take care of their employees, and do they have a good field team in place.
- Are the obstacles quality, well built, and unique?
- Are the courses a good mix of running and obstacles, and are the obstacles fair to all athletes with all fitness levels
- Do they have a elite point system for elite athletes, and offer prize money or incentives
- Do they give back to the community, or are they "GREEDY"


Those are just some of the things that I am curious about before considering an obstacle race event. I not only want to make sure that the event is safe, but I also want to make sure that there are good people behind it. I've been involved with some shady people in the OCR industry, wealthy people who are just in it for the money, and not for the purpose of making a difference and giving back to the community. Oh yeah, I understand that it's a business =), but there are businesses based on integrity, and then there are the "other" ones that are just focused on one thing, to just take advantage of you.

I was definitely impressed by the BattleFrog Series Miami event, and I look forward to running and filming more of their events. If you are still on the fence about registering, all I have to say is just go for it, you will have a blast!

Here are some picture from the event. I also posted a video below, so feel free to check it out!

So here's the BIG QUESTION, is BattleFrog Series better than Spartan Race? My answer to this question is that I love both of them. Both Spartan Race and BattleFrog are great companies, and I will continue to support both of them. I am a big supporter of OCR in general, and I am focused on helping the sport grow through my OCRTUBE.com project which is a FREE OCR Community focused on connecting athletes worldwide, educating and training people to participate in global events.

Body Beast OCR Strength Workout

Body Beast Back and Bi's - Obstacle Course Racing Strength Workout - Spartan Training
Body Beast Back and Bi's - OCR Strength Workout

With over 340 strength reps + 210 burpees and then some, this workout promises an ass kicking! It's time to get BEAST ready!

There is nothing that I love better than mixing things up with my workouts! I am currently on my last month of my Insanity Max 30 Challenge, and I've been seeing some great results and a lot of leg strength and endurance. The only downfall to the Max 30 Workouts is that there is no weight lifting. This may be perfect for anyone who doesn't need it, but as for me who enjoys participating in obstacle course races (OCR), it's a crucial part of training.

Body Beast is one of my favorite strength programs. The cool thing about Body Beast is that you could follow the workout schedules that are included with the program, or you can make your own hybrid workouts. That's what I've done with this workout.

This workout is primarily focused on helping you train for an obstacle course race. Targeted mainly for obstacles which require pull up and arm strength such as Jerrycan carries, Bucket Carry, Monkey Bars, Rope Climb, Traverse Wall, the Hercules Hoist, and other obstacles that are similar in nature. This workout really works on your grip strength, and it's not all about lifting weights, you'll also be running too!

FYI, the workout is based on the Body Beast Back and Bi's workout. You can get the Body Beast Workout Sheets here.

What you need for this workout:
- Two, 35lb water jugs or jerry cans
(I just took a couple commercial frying oil jugs from my parents restaurant and filled them with water. You can probably ask any restaurant, and they will most likely give them to you for free)
- Weights
- Pull Up Bar
- Determination

Insanity Max 30 - MAX OUT SWEAT Workout

Insanity Max 30 - Max Out Sweat Workout - Insanity Max 30 Challenge Group
Max Out Sweat (Watch Video below)

Max Out Sweat is by far one of the hardest, if not the hardest workout of the Insanity Max 30 program. I wouldn't say that the exercises are really tough, but it's the combination of them along with the short amount of breaks that make it a beast! Although I have made it all the way to 30:00, it was because I modified a few of the exercises.

Using modifications is nothing to be ashamed of, it's honestly a way to play it safe and prevent injury. The key to the Max 30 Workouts is to find your MAX by going as hard as you can until you can't go any further. What I normally do with Insanity Max 30 workouts, is I go hard, and then when I am about to max out, I begin using modifications, but sometimes I can't even do that =) The most important thing about these workouts is to listen to your body because this program is very high impact unless you are using the modifications, and your goal is not to use them unless you really need to. And if you are using modifications during 50% of the workout, then in my opinion, this workout is not for you, it would best to find a workout that suits your level of fitness. But again, that's just me.


Max Out Sweat is more of a cardio-based workout that will definitely make you sweat! Most of the strength-based Max 30 workouts are on Tuesday and Thursdays with Fridays being a combination of everything. If you're going all the way to 30:00 during Max Out Sweat, then you're probably not working hard enough. If you make it to 30:00 while using modifications, then your goal is to use less every time, and keep the same max out time. Change happens when you push yourself. Change happens when you challenge yourself, so make it challenging, and you will see better results.
