Pulling and Pushing Circuits

Hey everyone,

We've decided to change things up again a bit this week and try to do some back-to-back workouts.  Since we're still doing full body workouts, we've split today's and tomorrow's workouts into "pulling" and "pushing" exercises.  We felt that this would allow us to target specific muscle groups each day, including both upper and lower body muscles. 







Here is the "pulling" circuit (3x) we completed today:

1. Straight leg deadlifts
2. Reverse push-ups
3. Alternating kettlebell deadlifts
4. Pull-ups
5. Kettlebell swings
6. Alternating kettlebell rows

One consideration for our "pulling" day was that many of the exercises used significant grip strength, which led to fatigue of our forearms.

Here are some videos of Tannys demonstrating reverse push-ups, kettlebell swings, and alternating kettlebell rows.

For tomorrow's "pushing" workout, we are planning a modified AR7 workout style (see "Workout Styles" tab for a description):

1. Squat with overhead press
2. Bench/kettlebell press
3. Pistol squats

Stay tuned for our thoughts on tomorrow's AR7 workout!
