Era you’d want to be hitting 2x bodyweight on the deadlifts.

I did this with two 24kg bells today.

Only got 8 rounds and i tapped out. Was feeling pretty tired before starting so not a bad effort

Did a variation of the below today… where he’s using heavy and doing 1 set and resting for 30 /40 seconds… i used 20s and did 5 sets and then did 5 medicine ball slams after them. Did 8 rounds in total with one minute rest in-between.

I’m getting addicted to the kettlebells … it’s the right mix of cardio and strength training combined and they’re perfect for short workouts… no gowling in the gym for an hour or so

See the bit before he drops them… thats the bit thats gonna fuck your back.
And the bit wherebyou snap it back over your wrist… thatll make you take off the fancy sports watch you have and leave it somewhere and then think someone in the gym has nicked it and youll be pissed cos its the second one your wife bought you that you’ve lost/has been nicked after the one yoou got nicked at the sister in laws wedding abroad when you fell asleep after a heap of pints…
Possibly…

The ability to sprint is a leading indicator of vitality Good advice here for lads who want to add a bit of fun to their sessions - add in skipping and build up to striding - benefits are enormous and close to sprinting but more or less risk free injury wise . Good for kids sports too to build speed etc.

I see Brian Lee of Chopped fame has set up a new discipline called Tryka piggy backing on the Hyrox concept. He may get a legal letter or two in the post.

Revelate is really good!

Sure aren’t all these fads derivative

Teach a man to hyrox and he’ll train for a day. Teach him to kettlebell and he’ll train for life

Did I hear you started wearing dog tags when you work out?
