/ Workouts/ 0 comments

You start somewhere/anywhere in the circle, and perform the exercise at that station (see pic for details – your kind instructor will set out everything in this sequence for you).

/ KB sport, Workouts/ 0 comments

Escalation work for HR. Long Cycle2 reps performed on a metronome for 10 mins to mimic a GS set. 15s 2x18kg (40 reps) 14s 2x20kg (43 reps) 13s 2x22kg (47 reps) Certainly not big reps, but pretty challenging (for me anyway) Impetus files is here Typical HR profile looks something like this (initial spike is HRM strap shift and can be ignored. Last few second spike is a couple of extra/sprint finish reps) [google-drive-embed url=”https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0ByFs7LeBdaCHZjRvWEZ5OXdOUzA&export=download” title=”20150527-LC2-rpm.jpg” icon=”https://ssl.gstatic.com/docs/doclist/images/icon_11_image_list.png” width=”800″ extra=”image” style=”embed”]
