Kettlebell Workout

Today's KB workout. Animal movements were quite fun. All types of crawling are fun. Alligator crawl is the hardest - pretty much bear crawl but we got deeper in push up position with one leg tuck in - or as Z always call it reptile plank.

Modified the Part #2 to be more pressing focus. Originally we had to super set double front squat with pressing. But I skipped the front squat and focused on overhead pressing and did extra rounds to get the most out of it.

3 Rounds of below:
Part #1
1 Arm Swing 5x
1 Arm half snatch 5x
Rev lunge 5x

Repeat for other side before part 2

Part#2- 2 rounds
Double swing 5x
One arm Press (L)
One Arm press (R)
Double press
One Arm press (L)
One Arm press (R)
Double Press

Part #3 - animal mov't (mix & match) - full lap
Bear crawl
Alligator crawl
Crab crawl
Frog jump

Band RDL

BB Sumo Deadlift (propped BB on a pair of aerobic step - no risers) / RKC plank
95lbs x 12 - warm up

205lbs x 15 - rest pause method (last 5)
205lbs x 17 - rest pause last 8

50lbs x 15 / 75lbs x 15
50lbs x 12- focus on form/depth / 80lbs x 12

60lbs x 13 / 20lbs x 12@each
