Honored to take on the LEDESMA Memorial Challenge tonight, organised via @Levi Markwardt and @Gregory Dzemaili Managed the first 7 rounds with double 20kgs, then scaled down to double 16kgs for the remainder. Total time came in around the hour mark. Nothing but respect to anyone who puts themselves on the line in service of their country ❤️

I made it through using double 8 kg and single 8 kg kettlebells. Instead of the one-pump burpees, I did classic burpees—and till round 10 snatches instead of half snatches. Still, from round 10 onwards, it was pure hell. But as a police officer myself, I’ve learned that the mind gives up long before the body does, and that’s why I pushed through. This is for Officer Ledesma, but also for all the colleagues I’ve had to mourn over my 33 years of service. May they rest in peace🙏🏼🫶🏼 Thank you, @Levi Markwardt for the invitation — I’d gladly do it again next year 🫶🏼

First 3 rounds with 20kg, the rest with 16kg. I gave it my best. @Levi Markwardt

I know many of you have enjoyed the PACE 2kb session I shared on my visit to Lebe Start with @Gregory Dzemaili & @Angie Dzemaili . So here is a very similar session - Same but different - as I like to say. 4 pairs of KBs - 20s, 22s, 24s, 26s - all with cotton gloves. Lighter bells = Full Snatch instead of Half and with the first 3 pairs, the Snatch drop on the Longcycle "Strict Press" (no jerk). I used strict press vs jerk and cotton gloves as the bells were lighter. Here is a demo of the session

- all done with 16 kg. - had to take longer breaks, but i focused to get the reps in. managed to finish. @Levi Markwardt 🙏
