Svedberg’s Strength Endurance Circuit by
This circuit has been pretty popular in Finland among wrestlers (especially Greco-Roman) and MMA fighters. It’s very easy to scale. Start with 10-20 kilos and add weight if you can. If you do this all the way up, you’ll get 240 reps in total. If you come back down also, it’s 420 reps. Finnish Greco-Roman Wrestling Legend Marko “Myhi” Yli-Hannuksela (2xOly medalist) has done this with 50 kilos.
I’m not 100% sure, but I think the circuit is named after this gentleman:
