Today’s Practice: Journey to Timeless Solid, Week 1
  • 3 rounds movement prep
  • 10x10 one arm swings: 32, 36, 32, 32, 32
  • 10x1 get ups: 32, 36, 32, 32, 32
  • stretching
I really focused on max power on my swings and complete control during my get ups. When you do S&S the right way, it’s unbelievable how much better you feel!
 
Today’s Practice: Journey to Timeless Solid, Week 1
  • 3 rounds movement prep
  • 10x10 two arm swings: 32, 32, 36, 36, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32
  • 10x2 half get ups: 32, 36, 32, 32, 32
  • stretching
Project your power out during the swing, not up. Don’t make the movements easier for the sake of the goal. Make them harder, and get the most out of the program as you can. Then, the goal is inevitable.
 
Today’s Practice:

•Hill workout #21: 25 hills

-10 forward
-2 side to sides, switch every 5
-2 side to sides, switch every 4
-1 side to side, switch every 3
-2 backward
-2 zig zags, switch every 4
-1 zig zag, switch every 2
-3 bear crawls up the hill
-2 bear crawls down the hill

By the way, this is the hill I’ve been running up:
