Some of the best workout sessions are the ones that take the least amount of time to get through and tonight was a nice example of that. There wasn’t a lot of time tonight and I did not want to hit it too hard since I will be back in the “Box” tomorrow.

So, I didn’t go too hard nor took a lot of time, but what I did, I made count.

No warm-up, but went right into it:

3 rounds, 30-20-10 reps,

Overhead Squats, 65# and Ring Push-ups.

For finishers, I did,

Farmer’s Walk, 200# (2 x 100# dumbbells) 36′/52′/52′.

Zercher Slosh Pipe Carries, 2 x 100 yards.

In and out quickly yet got in a metcon workout and some heavy finishers. Nice!

On their fine website, Elite FTS posted Part 1 of an article by Josh Henkins, titled “Filling the Holes” in which Henkins outlines the benefits and ways to supplement the heavy bilateral barbell lifts with other tools like kettlebells, sleds and sandbags to improve the quality and volume of your training. Some techniques by Pavel Tsatsouline are also shared. Josh also describes and illustrates what he considers to be the five best kettlebell movements to prevent injury. For me, this could be the best reason to read and follow his advice.
