Shoulder Press, 800 Meter Runs, Russian Kettlebell Swings, Double Unders

I’m really wanting to add in a strength element to my workouts and am planning to get to the gym 30 minutes early to do it.

Strength: Shoulder Press

I’ve really wanted to get stronger at this lift and have wanted to start working on my upper body strength for a while now. I did sets of three reps at 95, 135, 145 155, and 165 pounds. I should have and wanted to finish up with max reps at 135 pounds but got there a little late. My class started before I got to it. Next time.

Conditioning:

800 meter run
30 Russian kettlebell swings @ 70 pounds
30 double unders
400 meter run
30 Russian kettlebell swings @ 70 pounds
30 double unders
800 meter run
30 Russian kettlebell swings @ 70 pounds
30 double unders

I finished everything in 13:47.

The runs were by far the hardest part. I really need to figure out how to improve my conditioning on runs. I was seriously loafing it on the last 800 and my 400 wasn’t that fast either.

I did all of the kettlebell swings without stopping and didn’t rest at all before I did them. I walked right in from the run, picked it up, and did 30 straight.

I also didn’t rest before I did the double unders. I messed up on my 30th double under in the second round and did all 30 consecutively in the other two rounds.

I guess maybe I should be doing some extra running. I need to improve on that a LOT.
