Mace front pendulum:

2 x 20 @ as heavy as possible uninterrupted

Mace 360:

1 x 10 @ as heavy as possible

Mace 360:

2 x 10 @ one interval down from above

Extended-arm mace hold:

2 x max duration @ 8kg. W, 10kg. M

Rest as needed between sets, complete in order and as directed. Move and hold in strong, organized positions, and don’t under-lift. When scheme is listed as “2 x 20″, it always refers to “Sets” x “Reps”. Reminder: As in heavy lifts with any implement, position and execution govern weight.

Then, 3 aggressive rounds of:

10 Kettlebell full-range high pull @ as heavy as possible (round 1)
5 Kettlebell high pull @ 2 intervals above full-range high pull
:30 sec. rest

Weight for full-range high pull decreases one interval each round. Strong set-up, specific timing, and non-casual wp-contentlication of power will make this drill. If timing is off, or position breaks, make adjustments and continue productively and safely. Maximize rest through mindful breathing and focus on what’s next.

And then, 5 minutes of:

20 Mace front pendulum @ 10kg. W, 12kg. M
10 calories Airdyne (legs only, arms in “Prison” position)

No designated rest- transition aggressively, and accumulate as much work as possible.
Hustle, breathe, and move both the mace and the bike like you know how your body works.

Reminder! (Almost) all movements referenced above are linked to high-quality video demonstrations/ explanations!
