If you’re not feeling the Pyramid Double Helen, regular “Helen” – Three rounds for time: Run 400 m, 21 kettlebell swings, and 12 pull-ups – is plenty good. Where regular Helen is more a sprint – fast from beginning to end. Pyramid Double Helen is going to be a grind. A different beast altogether. Warm-up lower legs and feet. Make sure your shoes are tied. Spend some time on the rower to warm-up your low back. Throw in a couple of dozen old-school P.E. windmills. Swing the kettlebell a few times. Do some pull-ups. Start the timer.
