I also noticed Shaun T colour co-ordinates his shoes and shorts.

This is more isolated and sticks to the top half and as such puts it in a class all its own. There’s not much in common with its predecessor Asylum: Strength from volume 1 which was more of a total body circuit training experience. Better eat a good breakfast, because it’s a long way home!Īs expected, this focuses on chest, triceps, shoulders and biceps with the occasional break to burn off some ladder speed drills.

Hope you all like push-ups, because you’ll be doing them in whole new terrible ways. Words of dread: “Now the other side…” UPPER ELITE Like the unholy offspring of a tarantula and a deformed hermit crab, X-Trainer is the horrible yet freakishly awesome offspring of all Asylum workouts combined into one total body monster. What is also obvious is that Shaun hates you. X-Trainer seems divided into 5 segments that go after speed, strength, plyo, and balance. It will take some time to get the sequences down which became clear rather quickly as my wife thought I was having a seizure. Learn to love your ladder here because you’ll be using it a lot. When the push-up sequence finally ends, you’ll be done…but you’ll also only be a third of the way through the workout! Remember when you thought Tony Horton’s airborne pushups from P90X were all that and a bag of chips? That’s child’s play here as you’re flying up and down the ladder and generally doing unthinkable things to your body. But honestly, I had no idea a child’s stomach could hold that much. But here I am at 6 am ready to do this anyway because I know the internet needs me lest it further fall victim to inferior reviews. My seven year old daughter was up puking four times last night leaving me any my wife to change the sheets just as many times. You’ll be an uncoordinated sloth compared to Shaun so this will only serve to remind you of your frail, aging, and ever growing incompetence. This is a short intro with Shaun showing you the basics of ladder drills, but it really doesn’t matter. Seeing as I’m going to be Shaun T’s punching bag fot the next 30 days, perhaps it’s a good idea to take an orientation. No agility ladder is included as they assume you already got one from Asylum Volume 1. What’s in the box:įor $59 you get 6 DVD’s, a program + food guide, a workout calendar, and an opportunity to win a really nice shirt. If Asylum vol1 was for Insanity grads, this too is for vol. As such, if you’re a regular bloke thinking today is a good day to start getting fit, this program is not for you in any way whatsoever unless today is also a good day to die. Only instead of trying to merely maim you, volume 2 is straight up aiming to send your sorry sweat-ridden hide to the morgue. The man is merciless, and his 30-day fitness program Asylum Volume 2 is every bit the deadly sequel to the original that one would expect.įor the uninitiated, Asylum Volume 2 by Beachbody follows in the footsteps of its extreme cardio/sports training predecessor. But I must admit, anything from Shaun T is starting to instil in me a sense of overwhelming fear. For years I have dove into workout reviews with the kind of fearlessness reserved for superheroes.
