(Specialty warm-up: 10 dowel partial pull-over, 10 kettlebell halo + 2/1000 extension, 20 mace front pendulum)
10 rounds of:
2L, 2R Mace 360
2L, 2R Mace overhead press (prioritize narrower hands, accompanied with straight, aggressive arms)
:20 sec. rest/ assessment
Each set of mace 360 and press are as heavy as possible- adjust as needed if position breaks or reps become singles, and adjust top-to-bottom hand as well as L to R direction.
If mace 360 is not yet in your toolbox, is not yet heavy enough to be useful at designated rep scheme, or suitable weight mace/ hammer is not available, perform kettlebell halo (no extension) in same scheme.
Then, 5 rounds of:
10 Mace 360
10 Extended-arm mace walking lunge (horizontal or vertical)
10 Box jump (with mace- horizontal)
100 Jumprope
Weight is scaled to ability, and should pose a significant challenge in each set; Goal is completion of each round with the same single weight. Transition seamlessly, and move aggressively.
Jump: Be sure to practice jumping with an implement prior to beginning the drill. Ordinarily, we re-set a jump by swinging our arms- not being able to do so (due to holding a mace) can require some adjustment. Select a height that allows for an organized and powerful jump with today's odd hitchhiker.
And then, "Time under tension":
15 Kettlebell Good Morning @ self-scaled (3 x 5) +
50 1-arm kettlebell swing @ 25lb. W, 35lb. M (cool-down weight) +
2 rounds of: 1/2 rocking chair (to floor) + 25 hollow rock + back to standing = 1 round
5 x :15 sec. bar hang
Kettlebell swing: Switch arms in 5-rep sets; If designated weight is not a cool-down weight, adjust accordingly.
