Videos courtesy of BoxLife Magazine, Functional Bodybuilding, and Train FTW, respectively. Quick demos of the three movements involved in this piece. Today’s skill/strength piece is more to help focus on core engagement in movements.  Throughout the overhead walks, front rack walks, and farmers walk, tighten down the stomach and make the steps smooth. Remember, this is for quality, not time, so the weight is up to you.  Should be something you can control, but not fail on.

WOD:

36-25-14:

Russian KB Swings (70/53)

*Complete 50′ DB OH Walking Lunge (50/35) after each round of KB Swings

Videos courtesy of Functional Bodybuilding.  Demos for the Russian KB Swing and the Single Arm DB OH walking lunge. Continuing with our core-engagement focus today, in the WOD, you’ll need the same mindset.  Brace the core during the Russian swings to prevent injury to your low back.  When you git the OH walking lunge, tight core will be paramount in successfully getting through the distance.
