The Magic 50 is one of many routines contained within the training manual. The workout is listed below.

Perform 5 circuits of the following:

• 5 Dumbbell Snatches Per Arm
• 5 Dumbbell Swings Per Arm
• 10 Burpees
• Rest 60 seconds and repeat

Continue until you have performed five complete circuits. Limit rest to 60 seconds or less between each circuit. Advanced athletes will work through the entire routine with minimal rest (ex. 30 seconds between rounds). As for eliminating rest entirely, refer to this from the forum for more information.

Workout Summary

The total workout consists of 50 dumbbell snatches, 50 dumbbell swings, and 50 burpees. This routine is brief, yet extremely intense. If the workout does not pose an adequate challenge, you should increase the weight of your dumbbell. More iron always equals more intensity.

As Napoleon Bonaparte once said,

“Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”

When you step inside the ring, your opponent is the enemy.

This workout can be performed 1 to 3 days per week depending on your condition and weekly workload. This workout is just one of many that is featured in the text. A complete 50 day program is also included, with details on how to construct a routine specific to your goals.
