(Photo: Ideal? No. Perfect? Yes. You start where you can start; Space or structure do not govern the path or the progress.)
In order, uninterrupted, and aggressively:
10 Tire flip
50 Kettlebell “Short swing” @ 1/2 BW
100 Rocking chair @ (up to) 1/4 BW (use bumper plate)
50 calories Airdyne
If designated weight creates compromised positions, adjust accordingly and continue safely; That being said, “extreme difficulty” is not a “compromised position”. When rest is needed during kettlebell swing or rocking chair, keep it short and specific (3 breaths or less/ :15 sec.).
Tire flip: Mind position and execution, and move with power and tension. Use assistance as needed, and stay aggressive- there is absolutely no value to a casual tire flip. Attach, adjust, brace, and drive; The steps don’t have to take long, but they need to occur.
“Short swing” simply denotes a heavy, short-range kettlebell swing with the intent of safely driving as much weight as structurally possible to just below chin height. Today, use weight designated above.
Kettlebell swing: If designated weight creates a compromised position, adjust accordingly and continue safely. Power and position govern weight- 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.
Then, skill work:
Kettlebell Pistol-grip hand positions and transitions (Swing, clean, snatch)
Mace 360
Kettlebell: Under the eye of a qualified trainer, address details, accumulate lots of great practice reps, and once improvement is made, add weight as needed to fact-check position. Snatch: Start with our introductory progression (one-arm swing, one-arm swing w/ arm bend at eye level, snatch = 1 rep), practice standard hand position, pistol-grip hand position, stacked-grip hand position.
Mace: Start with the basic handling and intro positions, and add weight/ difficulty as wp-contentropriate.
Note: Never make the mental mistake of thinking you’re too advanced for skill work in any realm.
And then, “Time under tension”:
(Timed) 15-calorie Airdyne sprint (today, 3 x, with :30 sec. between each) + 50 “Prison” Abmat sit-up + 50 calories Airdyne @ cool-down pace + simple, unloaded, movement-based cool-down; Insulate what we need, fix what we broke.
“Prison”: Variation features both hands on back of the head, and elbows pointed to the sides throughout. If that position loses integrity, rest briefly, and either find it or adjust it.
