Holy Forearms II
I did this workout toward the beginning of November of last year. We had just gotten a couple of 53lb. kettle bells, and, in a possibly misguided effort to hit the ground running--with the big dogs--I made up this little workout that involved ninety(!) kettle bells swings.
The workout is 3 rounds for time of:
30 KB swings
25 wall ball throws, 10' target
20 pull ups
My time in November was 17:23. I've shaved off nearly 5 minutes since then! Clearly, my work capacity isn't suffering in 2011.
The combination of swings and pull ups at the transition of each round lends a jello-like consistency to the forearms. Untying your shoes after the workout can be a chore. Enjoy!
