Kettlebell-TRX Four

It seems class only will get harder. Today we warmed up by alternating 30 seconds of two-hand swings with 30 seconds of rest, 10 sets. My form and rhythm still are not great on these, and my lower back was screaming at me by the end. Like, I was feeling tension down the back of my legs from it. Dropped down to a lower weight for the last set.

Next, we reviewed and practiced cleans, which was followed by a kettlebell complex of double high pulls, double cleans, windmills, and renegade rows (pushup plus core row). Five reps each, two sets. Wiped out at least once during the renegades.


We finished with a circuit of TRX moves and walking-kettlebell suicides. For example, do one-armed TRX rows with kettlebell presses, followed by walking kettlebell swings half the width of the room and back, then width of the room and back. It took me about six swings and ten swings, respectively, to complete each suicide. TRX exercises were the aforementioned one-armed row with kettlebell press, lawnmower, split lunge with kettlebell in goblet position, scorpion, and vertical pushup. Three reps each (switch sides if necessary) followed by a suicide. Five exercises, five suicides. I finished first, but I'm not sure whether that was good or bad.
