Mat. Tire smash (2010).
Mat. Tire Smash (2010).

12 Turkish Get-up @ 60-70% of 1RM (2 x 3L, 3R)

Rest as needed between arms, and add a 2/1000 pause to any transition point that you are struggling with. If reps become singles or position breaks, adjust weight immediately and continue safely.

Then, aggressively:

20 Kettlebell swing clean + push press (2 x 5L, 5R)
100 Tire smash (Any variation)
20 Inchworm

If needed at all, rest is taken between push press and tire smash; Today, weights for both are self-scaled and challenging.

Note: In order for hitting a tire with a hammer to be more than novelty, it needs to be performed with power, precision, and fluidity. Focus on mechanics, execution, and timing, and hit the tire like you mean it.

And then, “Time under tension”:

Hollow hold/ rock + 50 Superman rock

Work to “True” failure (loss of physical positioning) not “Relative” failure (loss of mental endurance). If time reaches two minutes, you may stop if desired. If time is under two minutes, do it again, and accumulate at least two total minutes.
