XX bails out!

The weather is finally starting to get nice, and we took advantage of it today. Tire flips, sprints, farmer’s walks, and walking swings were a part of today’s fun.

Here is one of my favorite exercises, the swipe. It combines an explosive contraction of the posterior chain during the swing component, followed by an explosive contraction of the “anterior chain” in the cast portion. This develops great core strength, is a potent metabolic stimulus, and needless to say, builds a strong grip.

7 rounds, full rest:

Clean X 1

Weighted Pullup X 1

Deep Handstand Pushup X 1

Here, Bill goes for 100 lbs, and Aaron starts the pull under on 175.
