True, I had the same reaction. Admittedly, watching someone perform the move is easier, but I'll give it a shot: Dead Clean: Basically a fancy way to call a simple KB clean. The "Dead" part has to do with starting from a dead point on the ground with zero momentum. Same reason that word is in deadlifts, really. Squat Thrust: Pretty much a burpee without the pushup and jump/clap part. Just get down on all four from standing position and hop back up Offset Pushup: Assume pushup position, but with one arm on the KB's hold. Perform a pushup, walk your hands to the other side so that you're grabbing the KB handle with the other hand and do another pushup Explosive Pushup: A fancier version of the Offset pushup, this is basically a fancier version where instead of walking your hands to switch sides, you do the pushup with enough force to go flying over the KB and switch sides/hands in the air. 3 Quote Lvl 65 Multitasker Link to comment

DarK_RaideR Posted November 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Tuesday 21 November 4' of Assault Bike to keep me warm till class started Rowing Class: 40' of rowing, broken into 4 sets 40:00-30:00 @ 24 SPM (25% pull) 30:00-20:00 @ 26 SPM (50% pull) 20:00-10:00 @ 28 SPM (50% pull) 10:00-00:00 @ 30 SPM (75% pull) Score:: 7.981m total R1: 2'38"/500m at 24 s/m R2: 2'32"/500m at 26 s/m R3: 2'30"/500m at 28 s/m R4: 2'21"/500m at 30 s/m So overall a picture perfect score, nailed both the pulling force (at drag factor/fan resistance 6 out of 10) and the s/m pace. Disclaimer: For those who wonder what the above mean, here's a handy decoding table SPM or s/m: Strokes per minute a.k.a. rowing pace. How many times your seat goes back and forth in a minute Pull percentage: It's actually a 4 star rating our coach uses to let us know how much effort he wants us to put in the pulls. 1 star is chill pace, cool enough to start a discussion with someone rowing next to you. 2 stars is warmup pace. 3 stars is regular training pace. 4 stars is all out, competition pace, leave it all on the floor and finish with an empty tank Time/500m: Closely connected to the previous one, how the rower counts your pulling power. Effectively, it's how the rower translates your "pull percentage" into something quantifiable, which is how long it would take you to row 500m at said pulling force. When rowing, this number changes with each pull, so the final score is the average of all your pulls. 5 Quote Lvl 65 Multitasker Link to comment
