To help with any confusion about the KB Swings, please perform them to eye level (a hybrid of American and Russian).

C. 29:56 total
i) 4:56
ii) 10:51 – didn’t cope well with the grip on American swings at 32kg today
iii 6:09 – too much rest between the final 4 rope climbs. Probably should have sprinted last 400m run too.

Ha thanks guys. I wasn’t complaining and I don’t think that’s the case. I’m hoping we motivate and push each other. We’ll come up against the CompTrain lot soon! So we gotta push!

I thought…. ‘oh it’s only 30 reps a rounds. American swings will be ok’. Clearly bad decision. They were miserable on my grip!
