Seemed like we were cruising, but B switched up some of her movements this week which may have been a little slower. I bumped up the weight on my step-ups from 40-50-60-70. What will we come up with for the next leg cycle?

Kettlebell Steppin’

Warm-up

  • 80′ Lateral Monster Walk
  • 80′ Monster Walk
  • 10 Monster Squats
  • 10 Monster Toe Touches
  • 20 Trunk Twists

Legs

  • 3 Rounds
    • 20 Skaters

  • 4 Sets
    • 6/6 Lateral Step-ups (20″, 40-50-60# DB + 70# KB)

Bumping up 10# on each set of step-ups was no joke, especially that 70 pounds! Took us 27:01 to finish, which is about 11 seconds faster than last week and we did have some burn time due to B starting on the wrong movement and some delays trying to get the bike moved to a more stable position.

Slight tweaks to the format we’ve been liking with different movements and placements for the types. Was supposed to be 10 goblet squats in that first section, but my back has something lingering so I scaled back and did the Sumo deadlifts instead of a classic. We went straight through again and I went first today. Took us 27:12.
