Fitness is transformative. It can change your body, of course, but more importantly, it has the power to change how you see yourself and your place in the world. Performix athlete and overall badass Mike Vazquez understands this power, because fitness transformed him into the man he is today.
Through a unique blend of breakdancing, calisthenics, and traditional barbell movements, Vazquez has created a signature training style and a body marked by speed, power, and real strength. He may have started out overweight and unhappy, but today he's a business owner and proud role model to his son, and he embodies the Performix notion of "greatness, unrelenting."
Check out Vazquez's inspiring story, and then try one of his heart-pounding workouts!
If you want to look like Mike, you need to train like Mike—and the video you just watched only delivers a tiny taste of how this animal really trains. But don't worry—you don't need to be able to stand on your head or hold yourself upside down in order to follow Vazquez's workout.
You do, however, need to hit the gym ready to work. Vazquez's training style is not for the faint of heart. It combines rapid-fire supersets of bodyweight and barbell movements, taxing nearly every aspect of your fitness level.
If you think you've got what it takes to hang with Vazquez, get ready to channel your inner breakdancer and try this challenging workout. We have no doubt it will engage every muscle in your body—potentially including your upchuck reflex!
| Workout Notes |
Once you've completed Vazquez's quick warm-up, get ready to work on overdrive! Vazquez's lean body is a byproduct of how quickly and intensely he trains. To keep pace, your goal is to keep your rest to an absolute minimum. On each superset or triset, go from one exercise to the other without rest. You can only rest after you've completed the 2-3 exercises as prescribed. When you do rest, don't take any longer than about 15-20 seconds. Get a sip of water, wipe the sweat off your face, and get right back at it.
If you're not accustomed to moving your body through these exercises at this speed and rep range, you may need to do fewer reps or fewer sets than originally prescribed. Do what you can do at your current fitness level, but try to continue working as quickly and efficiently as possible. By repeating this workout over time, you will become better and more efficient at it.
When you're done with this workout, you'll move on to a little metabolic treat Vazquez calls the "finisher." To do it properly, you'll take an interval-training approach. Start with push-ups and do them for a full 45 seconds. When the clock hits 0:45, rest for 15 seconds, then move right on to mountain climbers. Complete each exercise at this work:rest ratio one time.
