A blog documenting our approach to kettlebell fitness training. We work hard, play hard, sleep long, and eat well. This is the path to Bear Strength!

Push and Pull
Time to drop the intensity a bit and crank up the strength. This is important to do every once in awhile, especially as we work our way towards goals like Beast Challenge. So we will break our circuit down into individual sets of each movement, instead of our usual all-in-one workout. Much like a traditional strength routine. The exception to this theme will be our Balding Bear complex that we will throw into the mix just to get that heart pumping a bit to warm up.
Push and Pull
Balding Bear Complex x 5
5 2 hand KB Swing
5 R Hand KB Swing
5 R Hand KB C&P
5 L Hand KB C&P
5 L Hand KB Swing
5 2 Hand KB Swing
5x5 Heavy Squat Thruster
5x2 Heavy TGU
Heavy Double x 5 Weighted Pullup
5x10 Tire Flip
There is it comrades. This is one of those workouts that should leave you sore, and ready to down a good hearty meal afterwards. There is no running, sprinting, sledge swinging or anything "cardio". I hate that term "cardio". It laways brings to mind a row of drones running on treadmills at a gym,watching "The View" on their mini tvs. Balding bear consists of swings, cleans, and presses. Not exactly the movements most folks think of when they think "cardio". But trust me, you heart will be ready to jump out of your chest after a set of this complex! Not to mention the fact that 10 tire flips will also make you question conventional "cardio" workouts as you struggle to recover after round 5.
