I’ve never pulled an axle before. Maybe I’ll do a block pulling with Fat Gripz? I guess that’s as close as I could get without buying an actual axle.
That’s actually an interesting idea… Maybe spend a block not worrying about PRs and really improve my grip and mechanics, then go back to the regular power bar. Dammit, Simo, now you’ve got me thinking (which is rarely a good thing).
105 burpees. Did these countdown style.
started at 14 reps, took a few breaths the. 13, then 12 all the way down to 1. This really kicked me in the ar$e. Breathing hard and sweating up a storm by the end.
You could deff do that. 14 burpees, 1 swing and then 13 burpees 2 swings etc etc all the way down. Let me know how it goes. I only just got some kettlebells and haven’t thought about the two together before. I know @SvenG does swings with burpees.

I think I am starting to like these. Hips were tight but going slow allowed me to focus on opening up and sinking down.

Dumbell curls (alternating)

Arms felt like they were going to split. This must be what @TrainForPain feels like all the time.
I am on fire right now. Feeling very hard to kill. So good.
Beautiful sunny autumn day here. Washed the car after lunch and then went for a walk to the beach with the misses and the kids. All up just over 6km walk (4 miles). Was great to enjoy the sun and keep the body moving.
