Growing up in the 80’s / 90’s we watched Mike Tyson a lot. Pure dominance when he was at the top. His line “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth” is often misquoted and often appropriate. My plan of Pick up the Six workout did not go as planned but luckily it did not take a punch to the face to figure it out.

My bout with Tyson occurred in Florida when I was a member of a gym (don’t tell F3 Nation!.. and it was only for a few months.) For a brief period of time Tyson was working out there and after a session in the weight room he came out to the basketball court to play a game. I was on the sideline watching when the ball went out of bounds where I was. I grabbed the ball and threw it to none other than Iron Mike.

The idea of today’s beatdown was to complete every exercise at the same time. If you completed your reps you were to continue with the exercise until the six completed it as well.
