Great work out at 6:00 AM class. Thanks for the TGU and KB swing tips from Chris, Steph, and Sara. Great coaching!
Great class today (7am)
Worked up to 40# on the TGUs.
Worked at snatch-style kb swings for the first time. I started to feel comfortable with the movement, but its still a little awkward pushing my head through my arms at the top. Ill keep working on it.
METCON: I just tried to keep up with Cam and Steph who both smoked it. I think I finished in 7:15.
Was going to rest today but couldn’t resist TGUs. Always good to practice TGUs and today they actually felt better with a kb! With the KB resting against my forearm, it felt easier to really punch my wrist and keep the weight up. Man, guess I should stop bitching about kbs!
Metcon was fun! Cam and Peter were moving! Sara used a kb that was the size of a baby’s head. It was impressive. I was trying to keep up and not fall too far behind. Finished in 7:18.
Also, it was really great to have 9 people in a 7am class!
Worked up to 40# TGUs
Snatch style was pretty cool. Definitely allowed me to kick up the pace a notch during the workout.
Metcon: 6:45 20kg, and ring pushups (Thanks to Chris!)
Forearms are still feelin it a bit 5 hrs later.
Second everyone’s enthusiasm. Great job guys.
See ya’ll tomorrow.
A fun and big 7:00 am class.
I’ve really come to enjoy TGUs now that I know what I’m doing. I worked up to 20lbs.
I used a 16kg KB for the metcon and stuck with the regular swings. I’m not a fan of pushups but there is nothing for it if I want to get stronger on top. I finished the metcon in 8 minutes something or the other.
See everyone tomorrow.
