physical. 08/26/15

Small group.

Pendlay row:

5 x 5 @ (up to) 80% of 2RM

Rest as needed between all sets. If sets require interruption (provided lifts are performed at current, accurate percentages) pause as briefly as needed and complete without decreasing weight. Reminder: Position and range of motion always govern weight.

Then, 4 aggressive rounds of:

8 Kettlebell snatch (4L, 4R @ heavy and challenging in each round)
6 Burpee broad jump
:20 sec. plank hold (Top of push-up)
:20 sec. rest

Work during the work, and only rest during the rest. Today, kettlebell snatch may be performed from swing or floor– Have your first choice and your back-up plan kettlebell ready in order to minimize time in transition if needed.

Reminder: There is no such thing as (and certainly no value to) casual kettlebell snatch or burpee- move violently and with intent.

And then, 4 rounds of:

:30 sec. Airdyne (Forward)
:30 sec. Airdyne (Arms only)

Move at a non-lazy cool-down pace.
