RUNNING FASTER AT A LOWER HR.

Seems to get the thread back after I derailed it.

@Cookie_ - Leg Driver KB variation.

I tried to do a super light weight for a visual of the positions- this is both a hinge (from the hip) and a squat (change of the hip/back angle with a bend of the knees and descending pelvis).

Notes:

- Focus on the two separate movements. The hinge is a hinge, the squat is a squat, the swing (generated by power through the opening of the hip at the end range of the hinge) should make the KB weightless
- Fight to prioritize your spine/hip and back angle and keep the head in a neutral positon (looking at the video, I realize I look slightly up out of the bottom of the swing, which is natural, but a good idea of what the wrong form looks like). If you had a softball ball under your chin, at no time should you drop the softball.
- Tight, tight, tight through the core at all times. Any time you move weight away from your centerline, things get wonky, so a constant brace is needed.

I used 80 freedom units in the second part, I usually do sets of 10-20 with 80/88lbs depending on my intended cardiovascular load/effort.

Have fun!

My workouts are 70% kb based but I’ve never seen these, will try them today to see if I have the coordination to pull it off. Looks like a great exercise.

Good Vo2maxxx video. Norwegian 4x4s are evil by the way.

I think your brisket and beer diet will get in the way, but "thots and players" or something.

One of my teammates deadlifted 500 and ran a sub 5:00 mile... in the same training day. It was nuts.

I found your teammate.

The back and forth in this vid is HILARIOUS! And it goes to show you the level of fitness SEALS are at.

I need to work on my DEADLIFT game.

Serious question… Why is everyone “laughing“ at this? I thought a four minute plank is pretty impressive.

I'm not going to laugh. Planks are hard as hell. I do wonder what's the mean time just so I know how impressive that is. Or isn't. I don't know.

I clicked on it expecting to see a little more "news worthy" effort. Sorry I suk. I will do planks as punishment!!!

Maybe just because a news release for "longest plank" is humorous in and of itself?

Another thing is just that 4:25 for a plank is respectable, but not what I'd call impressive.
The max plank for the Army pt test is 3:30 or 3:40; i forget which, because most every semi-fit guy/gals in the unit hits it without issue.

A four minute plank is a fucking eternity for a washed up pear shaped former action guy like myself.

Before I can start training to the level of a four minute plank, I need to be able to cut my toenails and breathe at the same time.
