this was a real sweating blood session, an hour of non-stop sweat-inducing intensity!

surprisingly (!) stef saw the deliberate ambiguity in how i specified the warmup so it was 1 round through, 2 hand kb snatches into overhead walk into pushups into cleans and racked walk down. the heart & breathing were pumping hard at the end of that!

150 swings and a whole heap of ladders followed by 30 cleans made for sore hands, pumped forearms and heavy legs but we only rested long enough to swap notes about training the last few days before going again.

second run through was tougher for sure, you think fewer swings are going to make things easier and then you have to suffer a longer ladder run as legs get heavier.

total of 300 swings, 75 cleans, plenty of stairs and change. killer.
