7/14/2008 Easy Workout

Military Press / High Pull ladders
  • 28kg/62lb kettlebell
  • 5 ladders @ 3 rungs each arm
    Total = 30 presses per arm & 30 high pulls per arm

Pistols w/ 20lb weight.
Holding on to a 20lb dumbbell for a counterbalance. Trying to gradually use less and less weight until I can perform body weight pistols without a counter-balance. Pistols a.k.a. 1 legged squat.

  • 1 Ladder with 4 rungs per leg
  • 3 ladders with 3 rungs per leg

Swings
My hands are still torn up from the USSS Snatch Test so I took it easy this morning on swings.

  • 10 hard style swings, throwing the kettlebell for distance on 10th swing.
  • Active rest = walking to the kettlebell to start again.
  • 8 sets.

I will perform more swings this evening.
