Day 124 of 360

9 rounds of the following kettlebell complex:

7 Deadlift
5 High pull
3 Full-range high pull
(Up to) 1 minute rest

Today, entire sequence is performed with one kettlebell- Heaviest 3-rep full-range high pull governs weight in each round. If position breaks or true overhead becomes unsustainable, adjust one interval down and continue safely.

Then, 10 rounds of:

10 Hollow rock
5 Push-up (Scaled to ability in each round)
50 Jumprope
:15 sec. rest

If rest feels unnecessary in the first few rounds, work harder and make it mandatory in the last few. Scaled to ability = Each rep/ set/ movement poses a significant challenge for each athletes individual skill level; Put in what you expect to get out.

Advanced push-up suggestions include: Dynamic push-up, ring push-up, Hindu push-up.

And then, “Time under tension”:

50 1-arm kettlebell swing @ 25lb. W, 35lb. M (cool-down weight) + 30-calorie Airdyne cool-down

Switch arms in 5-rep sets; If designated weight is not a cool-down weight, adjust accordingly. Pace on Airdyne is approx. 50% of max RPM.

About Greg Walsh

Greg Walsh is a product of counter-culture, and remains immersed in it to this day. The discovery of BMX bike riding and hardcore music in early adolescence opened a door of questioning and critical-thinking that has paved the way for everything since. Action sports, hardcore music, martial arts, and strength and conditioning have all proven to be lifesavers, not simply pastimes, and contributing to each in the best ways humanly possible is Greg’s daily mission.

Wolf Brigade is headquartered in Rochester, New York, and is the product of Greg's lengthy training experience and varied physical backgrounds. Their website chronicles and details daily training, and contains hundreds of videos, pictures, quotes, and pieces of writing. Greg’s non-fitness writing website, War of Attrition, accepts subscribers and his first novel, Theft of the Age, will be available everywhere in the fall of 2015.
