Wisdom in Chains: Class War

Skill work/ fact-finding:

Kettlebell snatch (from swing and floor)

Today, at skill work weights and with the guidance of a qualified trainer, practice the details of the kettlebell snatch and make improvements.

Start with the three position snatch progression and add difficulty/ weight as wp-contentropriate. Accumulate lots of quality reps, and climb as heavy as desired once position and execution are sound.

Then:

Benchmark

Class War/ My Promise6:07 (Wisdom in Chains“Class War”)

40 revolutions Airdyne
20 yd. walking lunge
5 Inchworm

Count and note rounds and partials completed in 6:07 (Ex. 4 rounds + Airdyne= 4.1). Demand at least a partial round improvement over last time.

And then, 6 minutes of:

4 Push-up (Scaled to ability as needed)
4 V-up
:20 sec. rest

Complete as many rounds as possible, working hard during the work, and focusing on recovery during the rest; Mindful breathing helps mitigate fatigue

And finally, “Time under tension”:

100 Abmat sit-up

Abmat: Shoulders touch at the bottom of each rep, butt stays on the ground, posture is upright at the top. Pace is not a substitute for position, even in simple movements.
