Introducing the "Dirty Dozen" (Full-Body Conditioning)
Hey Moose Strong Athletes and Community! We know your time is valuable, but your conditioning is non-negotiable. That's why we're rolling out a classic, hyper-efficient challenge that hits your entire body in just 6 minutes (plus transitions). Introducing the “DIRTY DOZEN”—a wrestling-themed, plate-loaded conditioning circuit designed to mimic the grind and intensity of a championship match. The Challenge: The Dirty Dozen This workout is perfect as a standalone session when you're short on time, or as a brutal finisher after a heavy lift or training session. - Goal: Maximum Reps Possible (AMRAP) for each movement. - Equipment: One standard Weight Plate (start light and focus on form!). - Duration: 1 Round = 7 Minutes Total (6 minutes of work + 1 minute of transition). - Wrestling Focus: This builds the isometric strength, core stability, and cardio necessary to control a tie-up, drive through a shot, and maintain constant pressure. The Workout Structure (30 Seconds On / 5 Seconds Off) You will perform 30 seconds of work for each movement, immediately followed by a 5-second transition to the next exercise. Stay locked in!

Maintain a strong, tight core and proper lifting posture on every single rep. Grip It & Rip It: Holding the plate for 7 continuous minutes will challenge your grip endurance—essential for wrestling! Score It: Write down your total number of reps for the full 12 movements. The next time you perform the Dirty Dozen, aim to beat your score!
