Ashley, Maybe not. KBs were passed from palm to palm, so wrist rotation/movement was built into the process… Personally, I think I was focusing on that rotation rather than keeping everything taut.

Hey, just thought of something… were you guys tightening your wrist at a slight downward angle during the KB swings?

I agree though. I thought this was gonna be a nice easy WOD, but was surprised when it turned brutal very quickly–mostly due to the sit-ups and the rings. Feeling it.

Doug, same pain for me and my wife. We attributed it to the handstand push ups yesterday, but maybe it was the one armed KB swings. (Erin’s pain was present this morning rather than during the WOD but mine occurred during the swings.)
The pain definitely went away after my warm-up though, probably because I scaled the weight down slightly.
