Time each round, maximize :20 sec. rest, and attempt to maintain first-round output in all remaining rounds. This is a short drill- position should be meticulous, pace should be vicious.
Position considered, weight starts and stays at 1/2 BW. If kettlebell swing weight does not pose a significant challenge, add a “Power swing” component by dragging the weight down just as viciously as you drive it up.
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.
