Transform Yourself, One Swing at a Time

Tuesday, August 31

Monday 8/30 - Improve It and Use It!

How often have you pulled out of a driveway or parking lot with your emergency brake on?

More than once?

Training with tight muscles and joints that don't get moved in the full range often enough, is like driving with the emergency brake on.  Mobility work is a great way to take that brake off the system and give yourself a chance to really train/move effectively under load.

This week we focused on a few areas before we hit the main workout:
  • Thoracic / Shoulders
  • Hips / Psoas
 Once enough time was accrued in these stretches we moved to the main set, a twelve minute AMWRAP kettlebell chain:
  • 1 KB Swing (single arm)
  • 1 KB Clean to Press
  • 1 KB Front Squat
  • 1 KB Sotts Press to Stand with bell overhead
  • stand and switch arms
The Sotts Press is NOT easy. You may have to go with a lighter bell than you normally use.

Have Fun!
