2L, 2R Turkish Get-up @ (up to) 90% of 1RM
20 yd. Farmer carry @ as heavy as possible
1 minute rest
4L, 4R Turkish Get-up @ (up to) 75%
40 yd. Farmer carry @ as heavy as possible
1 minute rest
6L, 6R Turkish Get-up @ (up to) 50%
60 yd. Farmer carry @ as heavy as possible
1 minute rest
Hammer position in each and every rep of Turkish Get-up, and demand strong posture throughout carries. As always, position governs weight. Each set should pose a significant challenging at designated rep scheme- don’t under-lift.
Then, 6 rounds of:
20 Kettlebell “Short swing” @ (minimum) 50% of 5RM
:20 sec. rest
Kettlebell swing reminder: 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.
”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.
And then, violently, 6 rounds of:
40 revolutions Airdyne
60 Jumprope
Transition seamlessly, move deliberately, and take no rest. Breathe, switch off, and go- safety considered, there is great value to making yourself move in simple conditioning drills.
And finally, “Time under tension”:
30 Dowel partial pull-over + 30 calorie Airdyne @ cool-down pace + 30 cat/ cow
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 heavy posture day, and improving position for next time.
