Kettlebell variation of the Golden Horseshoe

2

Seven redwoods bucked predictions of the sky falling and posted at CircusMaximus with kettlebells in hand. Johnsonville (YHC) took Q, and led a gloom-filled workout along these lines:

Warmup with SSH, mericans, crabcakes, LBCs, and armcircles.

Mosey between the columns by the bus loop for a sequence (somewhat) resembling the Golden Horseshoe along these lines:

— 10x sit and press, bearcrawl 10 strides, karaoke to point down corridor and back
— 10x kb swing, 10x sit and press, bearcrawl 10 strides, karaoke to point down corridor and back
— 5x standing kb press & repeat other arm, 10x kb swing, 10x sit and press, bearcrawl 10 strides, karaoke to point down corridor and back
***** respite with 3 minute plank sequence *****
— 10x rotating wall planks, 5x standing kb press & repeat other arm, 10x kb swing, 10x sit and press, bearcrawl 10 strides, run backwards to point down corridor and back
— 10x lawnmower pulls & repeat other arm, 10x rotating wall planks, 5x standing kb press & repeat other arm, 10x kb swing, bearcrawl 10 strides, run backwards to point down corridor and back
— 10x standing rows, 10x lawnmower pulls & repeat other arm, 10x rotating wall planks, 5x standing kb press & repeat other arm, 10x kb swing, bearcrawl 10 strides, run backwards to point down corridor and back
***** respite with 2 minute plank sequence *****
— 5x merican rows & repeat other arm, 10x standing rows, 10x lawnmower pulls & repeat other arm, 10x rotating wall planks, 5x standing kb press & repeat other arm, bearcrawl 10 strides, bunny hop to point down corridor and back
— 5x merican rows & repeat other arm, 10x standing rows, 10x lawnmower pulls & repeat other arm, 10x rotating wall planks, bearcrawl 10 strides, bunny hop to point down corridor and back
***** respite with 2 minute plank sequence *****
— 5x merican rows & repeat other arm, 10x standing rows, 10x lawnmower pulls & repeat other arm, bearcrawl 10 strides, bunny hop to point down corridor and back

Finish with AmericanHammers and AlabamaPrmDates.

COT with Attila taking us out.

This workout delivered a lot reps and sets. I may have distorted the ordering a bit up above, but I think it is pretty close.

I was expecting to face horrible weather and, as a result, a very small PAX. The predictions turned out to be wrong on both fronts, and it was a nice surprise to have solid numbers this morning.

I am not sure how I ended up on the Q roster for the 2nd week in a row — probably a clerical mistake by YHC. I did not mean to monopolize leadership of the AO, and I hope that did not bother anyone.

We achieved 7 min of planks this morning. The door is open to pick up extra minutes today for those doing the challenge.

Great job this morning on a hard sequence of KB exercises. Sincerely, Jville

    Where is the Tclap button?! The kettle bell is an angry wench! Soreness abounds across much of BT’s surface area, and as the coach/pitcher at my son’s baseball game tonight I was having a rough time finding the strike zone. Well done, Jville. Loved it!
