Put together on the fly was how today’s session played out. I deployed the 20 kg kettlebell and the Elite rings for 3 pairs of exercises and 3 sets of each exercise.

I needed to move away from heavy lifting for a little while and this workout was more about muscular endurance.

Ring Push-Ups: 25/25/25  KB Figure 8’s: 25/25/25

Ring Dips: 8/8/8 (last set done on bars)  KB Swings, H2H: 30/30/30

Ring Body Pulls: 10/10/10/10  Two Hand Anyhow: 20/20/20

I finished with 20 snatches.

High heart rate throughout and I finished with a solid session.
