Rope Flow, Steel Clubs, and Bulgarian Bag Zercher Box Squats
Up like a lark again this morning for a sunrise start.
- 10 minutes rope flow (this is my go-to warm-up)
Steel club session: 4 sets of 10 of each followed by 1 minute rest:
- Front swing to clean (12 kg)
- Angle press (12 kg)
- Front strike left and then right (10 kg)
After that, it was Bulgarian Bag Zercher box squats: 3 sets of 10 (25 kg bag) – damn they hit the spot!
And an absolutely stunning sunrise this morning. So beautiful:
