Ended the week with an epic 3 hours or so learning about movement and flow with the guys from ‘LIFT The Movement’. Highly recommend spending some time with these guys, you’ll definitely learn and improve how you move!
Nice amount of variety again, including some deliberate, slow sled pushes with the aim of maximum time under tension. These were spicy!

Sled pushes – 2 lengths – you go / I go format
Focus on slow pushing with large steps – maximum range of leg movement, and increased time under tension. This is very different from the normal push as fast as you can sled work!

While resting perform ~8 yards beast crawl and accumulate 5*5 single leg deadlifts each leg @40kg
4*5 single arm KB press from bottom of lunge @24kg KB
Do 5 reps each side without coming out of the lunge. Repeat with opposite leg forwards *2
Battle ropes;

Alternate each set between alternating arms and both arms at once. Be aggressive!

Epic afternoon of learning!
