Swings + Pull-ups

Warm-up and Skill Work
Turkish Get-ups!

Metcon
"Balancing Monday"
Monday's metcon was a box-jump/push-up couplet.  Today's metcon is a kb-swing/pull-up couplet.

20 swings, 1 pull-up
18 swings, 2 pull-ups
16 swings, 3 pull-ups
etc., until
2 swings, 10 pull-ups

We call these "up/down ladders" because one movement is decreasing in number each round (in this case, swings), while the other is increasing (pull-ups).

For pull-ups, we subbed ring rows, jumping pull-ups, or lat pull-downs.  Everyone moved at a nice steady pace, taking very little rest.  Impressive work, y'all!

KZ  6:51 (10kg, ring rows)
BH  7:16 (15#, ring rows)
BU  8:32 (lat pull-downs)
KE  6:38 (30#, jumping pull-ups)
