Skill Notes
• Orc Smash (Deadlifts): Keep your back straight, hinge at the hips, and lower the dumbbells to mid-shin. Alternative: Romanian deadlifts with a lighter weight.
• Battle Roar (Push-Ups): Maintain a straight line from head to heels, lowering until elbows are at 90 degrees. Alternative: Knee push-ups for reduced intensity.
• War Hammer Press (Overhead Dumbbell Press): Keep your core tight and press dumbbells from shoulder height to overhead, avoiding arching your back. Alternative: Use one dumbbell if needed.
• Shield Carry (Farmer’s Walk): Hold the weights firmly at your sides. Walk with a tight core and upright posture, looking straight ahead. Move smoothly to keep the weights from swinging. Alternative: Bear crawl to simulate carrying a heavy load with body strength.
• Fury Swings (Kettlebell Swings): Use your hips to power the swing, keeping your arms secondary. Alternative: Use a dumbbell if no kettlebell is available.
