6 rounds of:
6 Kettlebell push press– Left (each with full, stopped 2/1000 in lock-out)
6 Kettlebell push press- Right (each with full, stopped 2/1000 in lock-out)
6 Inchworm (each with a full 6/1000 hovering just above the ground in the push-up)
:30 sec. rest
Organized lock-outs, strong, specific re-sets into rack position, and full-duration holds. No soft lock-outs, no short counts. Weight is scaled to ability in each round; If done correctly, adjustment will be needed (up or down) during the six rounds. Evaluate, improve; Don’t just check out and go.
Then, 6 rounds of:
6 1-arm kettlebell swing (Left)
6 1-arm kettlebell swing (Right)
Make ambitious but sensible choices, and adjust by round as position dictates.
Kettlebell swing reminder: If we lose our strong hinge, back rounds, or legs fail to snap straight in the “drive” portion of the movement, adjust accordingly and continue safely.
And then:
6 Sled drag @ BW
60 Jumping pull-up
“Drag” = forward, “Pull” = backward. No rest, hard work, quality movement.
Jumping pull-up: Fatigue does not change position or range. “Simple” should only mean “easy” to those that are looking for both…
And finally, “Time under tension”:
25 dowel partial pull-over + 25 Abmat sit-up @ 1/4 BW
Partial pull-over is active cool-down, and should be performed in organized positions- only pull dowel over to point of position break, maintain a brief hold, and repeat. Goal is opening up the upper body after a challenging posture day, and improving position for next time.
