Dead Stop
We were eleven in number. A malodorous, stiff-backed, collection of misfits. Not counting the walking guy with the bandage on his head pruning the trees.
WARMUP was something to the tune of 1H Swings, Halos, Squat and Good Mornings plus 1 minute of free play.
COMPLEX – 30 seconds of each, 10 minutes of continuous movement.

DEAD STOP swings (5×5), cleans and snatches (5×3). Dead stop concept explained HERE. Pretty tough when you take the momentum out and great practice in starting and parking your bell(s).
REGULAR swings and cleans (5×5). Snatches for 3 minutes to close.
COT
MOLESKINE
A little variety and experimentation with the dead stops. I like them, as they force proper start and stop form, in addition to mandating powerful hip drive. Abbreviated Moley, jump in on the comments.

Hariband? Did I have #O2dep and forget a rename?
Hey, great Q and even though I had to break out the old 25lb kb it’s a start and allowing me to ease my shoulder back in to things.
Solid workout and I like the dead stop concept. When we get the Union Co. KB workout going I will need to remember that.
The Dead Stops were form enforcers and definitely made you get into a solid balanced starting position for each rep. Nice innovation TR. The one legged/one handed swings had me all kinds of off balance…like trying to bowl with a 45lb ball.
The giant that was pruning the trees in the gloom raised the canopy w/out a ladder – even after walking a few miles on the track. Does he not know MeatHead is 0.0!
