Indian Club | Q & D 

The Ancient Art of Indian Club training meets one of Pavel Tsatsouline’s anti-glycolytic strength endurance protocols, The Quick and the Dead (Q&D). Indian Clubs are amazing for restoring lost movement capacity, building shoulder mobility and strength, they even help with hand eye coordination and patterning, and…they are just plain fun and a little bit of a brain burner! You’ll warm up your whole body and brain with Indian Clubs in the first 30-minutes of class, and then the last 30-minutes is all about the Q&D: swings, snatches, jerks or push-presses combined in a specific sequence with pushups makes for a very strength oriented barn-buster.
