Comments Off on Kettlebells and Run, then Pullups

Just read an article about the skill transfer from kettlebell swings to the deadlift so thought it would be good to add in a high rep swing workout for this week.

For time perform:

  • 50 x Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg
  • Run 1 mile / 1500 meters
  • 50 x Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg

Then (since I have been neglecting my pullups) work on different pullup grips, resting between and doing max reps of each:

  • Hammer Grip
  • Narrow Grip Pullup (Hands as close together as possible)
  • Narrow Grip Chinup (Hands as close together as possible)
  • Wide Grip Pullup (Outside shoulders)
  • Regular Pullup (Shoulder width grip)

Results:  I did the first round kettlebell swings unbroken.  The mile I did in 7:34, 4:22 per km.  Forgot to start my watch for the kettlebell swings so don’t have a final time but I think it was around 10 minutes total including run.  For the pullups performed 8-6-6-5-3.

Comments Off on Bulgarian Squats, Presses and Swings

Double Under warm-up and then Front Squat mobility.

Not for time do 3 reps of each for 5 sets:

  • Bulgarian Split Squats with bar in Front Rack position (3 reps each leg per set)
  • Push Press from Front Rack.  Return to Front Rack after each rep.

Then 10 minute AMRAP in ascending ladder (do 1 rep of each, 2 reps of each, 3 reps of each and so on for 10 minutes).  Taken from Crossfit Ignite WOD of 12.8.2014.

  • Goblet Squat at 24kg
  • Kettlebell Swings

Result:  Squat/Press combo used 40Kg.  For the Metcon reached 11 Swings plus 5 Squats.

Note to self:  Be sure you are in a stable, neutral position before the Bulgarian squat so you don’t tip to one side.  Didn’t happen, but almost… 🙂
