StrongFirst community,
Hopefully you all read today's newsletter and are ready for Simple and Sinister February—gotta take advantage of that extra day from the Leap year!
Simple and Sinister February = 29 days of perform 100 swings and 10 get-ups daily.
Guidelines for “Leap into S&S”:
I test drove a session today of 32kg two-arm swings x 20 x 5 sets in 11 minutes and performed 3+3 get-ups before the IC and swing session and 2+2 get-ups after the swings (32kg).
So today was 20 min of Iron Cardio followed by the two-arm swings.
I will set my Timeless baseline on Thursday.
Who's in?
