Swings, Farmer's, & Box

27 Jul 13 (Sat)

     Warmup

     600m Row

     3 Rounds

     10    KB Swings          (50lb swings & farmer's)

     30m 1-Arm Farmer's  (R)

     10    KB Swings

     30m 1-Arm Farmer's  (L)

     10    Box Squats         (95lb)

     Cooldown

     600m Row

  Light-workout-Saturday; movements felt clean.

  Now that my warmup/cooldown row-time is 2min +/-5sec per 500m, I'll bring up the distance a bit. I think that keeping a smooth, relaxed 2min pace and increasing distance slightly when easy would be a good system for a bit. Up to maybe 1000m for each? Have to check Crossfit Endurance's recommended distances at that time.  :)
