For Friday Fun, we got some swolemates for life swinging and dancing. It’s never too late and you’re never “past your prime.”

10 minutes
Review Single Arm Kettlebell Clean Deadlift
Then,
Single Arm Kettlebell Dead Clean
Sets of 5/5
Go as heavy as possible while keeping the lats fully engaged and your arm plugged in the shoulder socket
Strength
20 minutes
Levels 2-4
Deadlift
Work up to a heavy set of 5
You should do about 5 sets in that time period, starting at about 50% of your 1RM and working up. Your last set should be challenging but doable–you should have one rep in the tank. If you are unable to complete a set of 5 or fail on any rep, you will not be allowed to lift with any weight on the bar next week. This is simply accountability. Don’t punch above your weight.
Levels 0/1
E4MOM (~5 sets but take your time!)
Do not rush the movements, focus on quality. Start light and add weight on the deadlifts.
5 Double Kettlebell Sumo Deadlift
10 Alternating T-Pushups

Rest
Max Reps Pull-ups*
Rest
*Strict dead-hang pull-ups are preferred–if you kip, do 3 burpees for every kipped rep before your next sled push
If you are still working toward your first strict pull-up, it’s a great time to practice (negatives, partner assisted, flexed arm /chin-over-bar holds). DO NOT USE BANDS.
