After work I went to the gym with a pal who's interested in making a life changing turn on regards to sports. I've been brainwashing him to crossfit and today he lost his virginity to crossfit. It was his first wod: metcon of squats, kb swings and db presses, then short rest and 30sec on / 30sec off row intervals. I'm very proud of this fella and we're definitely gonna put more effort in with him. It was heart-warming news as he texted me after the session he went to buy a 28kg kettlebell for future training purposes! =) I didn't have time to do workouts at the gym myself so in the evening I put on my shorts and went backyard for some kb action.
Metcon.
- 5 rounds of:
- 20 kettlebell swing, 32kg
- 40 air squats
- 10 toes-to-bar
However, on these movements that I performed I managed to come up with such a combo it's gonna put pressure on legs but not bother otherwise. Workout was simple but taxing. Classic stuff. Kids' playground swing beam was good enough pull-up bar for me this time for the toes-to-bar movement.
I got all kb swings unbroken. It started to feel unpleasant but still I nailed them ub. Air squats were surprisingly the toughest movement. Had to break them down. On the first round I went unbroken but then I guess it was 25-15 or something close. There could have ideally been more t2b but I had to take into consideration that the bar was not round but square and thus not very good for grip.
Good workout!
