Short little MetCon with my sister while camping. I packed my 35# kettlebell with me and put it to use today. We came up with a little 21-15-9 partner workout. We had some slight miscommunication about the execution of it, but once through that we were good! 

The 4 movements were 

Russian Swing

Plank hold

Overhead Lunges

Burpees

The plank hold was for the length of time it took the other person to do the swings. It took us about 11:30 to get through it all. We both got dirty from burpees and lunges in the grass! 

Doing an Rx workout is hard, but when you can pretty much do all the movements you gotta go for it!

But first we did a 9 minute Snatch EMOM.  The first 3 minutes was 3 reps at 55%, then 3 minutes of 2 reps at 65%, and then 3 minutes of 3 reps at 55%.  After warming up we jumped right in.  I started out with 65#’s on the bar and added 10#’s for 75#’s for the middle 6 reps. The weights were challenging, but not crushing. I need to be more patient and wait for the extension before getting underneath the bar and work on consistently getting down to proper depth.

The MetCon was a 21-15-9 Triplet with a 13 minutes time cap.  The 3 movements:

American Swing with a 50# Kettlebell

Burpees

Toes to Bar

I finished in 11:30 and was the last one done in my class. Burpees usually slow me down and this was definitely the case.  My toes to bar are also a little rough – I’m not getting a good enough kip to get the toes to the bar, but my knees are coming up to my chest, so that’s close! Plus I just really started.  I had to break them down into sets of 3.

That was a doozy!

12 minutes to a heavy single Split Jerk. I got 135 up and attempted 145 but it wasn’t happening. 135 is a 25 pound PR. Quite pleased with that!

The MetCon was simple but brutal.

21-15-9

Squat Clean 95#

Pushups

16:08

I was able to do this which is scaled as written. It was quite the doozy. I had to break it up quite a bit and was doing one pushup at a time for the last 8, but I got it done. The whole class 11 other soles were all cheering me on which helped make it through!
