Taco Bell (AMRAP – Rounds and Reps)

AMRAP 9:

35 Double Unders

25 Air Squats

15 Kettlebell Swings (53/35)
STIMULUS

In this short triplet workout, let’s choose a kettlebell weight that can ideally be swung unbroken on every round

The same goes for the variation or rep scheme on the rope – choose something you can ideally complete unbroken each time you pick up the rope

Within the 9 minutes, we can expect to complete 3-4+ rounds

STRATEGY

The one movement we’d likely have to break up today is the kettlebell swings

Use the air squats as your pacer – finding a speed that allows you to complete the swings ideally unbroken

Going big on the swings allows us to maximize our time spent moving

If you’re confident going unbroken on the swings and the double unders throughout, feel free to increase the cycle time of your air squats

If you need a little more time before picking up the bell, just slow down the squats and try to get your breathing back a bit for the weighted movement

Extra Credit

Metcon (No Measure)

3 Giant Sets:

14 Front Rack Step Back Lunges

21 Glute Bridges

Rest 3 Minutes Between Sets
STIMULUS

“Giant Sets” mean you’ll move right from the lunges to the glute bridges and rest after the 21 reps are complete

Front Rack Step Back Lunges:

Hold a barbell in the front rack and step back with one leg until the front shin is vertical

Alternate legs on each rep (6 Each Side)

You can build in weight or stay at the same challenging weight across

Pick loads that you can complete the 14 reps without dropping the barbell
