Helen of Troy!!!

03/08/10

"Helen"

3 Rounds...

400m Run (treadmill)
21 KB swings 50#
12 pullups

Time: 8:10

*Treadmill speed was kept @ 9.0 for all three. Unbroken sets for KB swings and pullups. Running has and still is always a challenge for me to push through. I wanted to slow the speed down, but I'd feel guilty. Gotta step up to the challenge! Swings were great. Pullups almost felt easy. I noticed that I started to not swing as much as I normally do and I was able to pull up with ease. I think what I did was a smaller swing with alot more force in my jerk motion. I will try it out the next time in a workout with pullups. Definitely felt fatigue in my forearms in the last round. Previous time was 8:34, so I am happy with my progress. I continue to look forward each day to new challenges and IWCABTAMD

  1. This is the beginning of the butterfly kip! Once you get your chin to or close to the bar, reach back with your feet (knee flexion and hip extension), as gravity pulls you back down, match a powerful knee extension with your arm extension as a kip to the next pull-up.
