Some good one-arm KB work mixed in with a little weighted lunging. As you swing the KB up from between the legs, focus on a quick punch to make the KB sit in the pocket of your bicep to elbow and prevent it from slamming on your arm.

Scaling Options:

KB weight -> 35/25 -> as needed (ELITE: 70/55)

Cool Down:

Iron Cross Hold – 1 min per side

 

Roll out t-spine – 30 passes
