Weight in both movements is self-scaled, and unless high-level proficiency is demonstrated in 360, should be different. Take short, specific rest as needed in no more than 5-rep intervals. If rest is needed more frequently, either adjust your mind, or adjust the weight. Additionally, counts do not shorten as we fatigue; 3/1000 is always 3/1000, and better as 5/1000 than as 2/1000.

Mace shovel: Lower body starting and ending position and order of operations should be a seamless transfer from deadlift- make adjustments as needed. If suitable weight is not available, movement may also be scaled by shortening the distance between hands, always leaving the rear hand at the very end of the handle.

Mace "Short shovel": Set up and pre-engagement are even more important- Insist on bottom arm parallel with the ground at top, and both arms straight in the "moment of clarity". Control the weight, and drag it back to the ground. There is no extended stop at the top, just as there is not with a kettlebell swing.

Mace 360 + extension: Goal is both strengthening our command over the mace, and reinforcing the difference between the correct starting position (holster) and an incorrect one (arms extended). Provided position is sound and proper tools are available- don’t under-lift.

Then:

1 minute extended-arm mace hold @ 8kg. W, 10kg. M

1 minute battle rope (or, as needed, any simple, consistent unloaded conditioning- do not stop moving) 1 minute jumprope Alternate between the three movements on-cue, with no rest between, until 500 jumprope are completed. Hustle harder, work shorter. This has been completed in as few as three rounds. Any observed short-counts: 500 Jumprope and 50 burpee for everyone in the group.

And then, “Time under tension”: 25 Kettlebell Good Morning/ Suitcase Good Morning @ self-scaled (10 + 10 + 5, or 15 + 10) + 50 Hand-to-hand kettlebell swing @ 35lb. W, 55lb. M (5 x 5L, 5R) 15 cat/ cow stretch If designated weight is not a cool-down weight, adjust accordingly.
