- Alright SwoleFIT brothers, let’s pull some heavy weight today. Maintain form, keep a neutral spine, and do work.
- Watch this (slightly bizarre) video on what it means to maintain a neutral spine. Remember, posture is paramount!
Conditioning, BROADSWOD- “Alba”
- 5 rounds- 7 chin ups, 8 push-up to renegade row, 9 standing olympic bar curls (in the squat rack), 10 box jumps
- Prescribed rest (b/t rounds)- 30-60 seconds
First, there were GODSWODS, honoring the great mythological male deities. Now, I present to you, BROADSWODS, honoring the most sizzling smokes of the modern era. I know you’re thinking two things right now– 1) ‘F*ck yes, Konrad’ , 2) ‘How do you come up with this brilliance? Short answer: SwoleFIT.
Today, we honor a modern classic- Jessica Alba. Let’s be honest, who hasn’t had a crush on this girl? Let’s recall her timeless performances in Fantastic Four as Sue Storm (I believe her super power was looking incredibly hot in a skintight jumpsuit) and Good Luck Chuck, where she plays a selfless, penguin loving 10/10 who ends up falling hopelessly in love with Dane “my jokes are no longer funny” Cook. Yes, Jessica, today SwoleFIT salutes you and dedicates this sick chest/back/bicep/tricep pump to you. If you’re reading this, hollaback girl.
Motivation
- Searched “Jessica Alba montage” on Youtube, and this is what happened. Thanks for sharing, “BKSwagRapper.” I can only assume the “BK” stands for Burger King. Righteous. And remember boys, tuck it up.
Are you going to incorporate that swinging pullup, from the renegade row video in one of the next WODs? Its way more beast than kipping pullups.
hahaha of course– thats how tarzan gets swole
for anyone interested, here’s my numbers:
close grip- 205 lbs
conditioning- 8:15, 12 lbs renegade rows (i went light weight here, focused on speed and maintaining form), 70 lbs curls
