Workout of the Day
Every 5 min x 5 Rounds
10 Bench Press
15 KB Swings @ 24/16/12kg

Notes
Intent is that the Bench and Swings are unbroken today, which should leave you with a good chunk of time to work hard on the bike! With equal rest today, each round should be tough effort.
BP: Ideally keep same weight across the rounds: 55-65% is a good guideline/starting point. If unsure, start conservatively and build.
KB: Moderate weight you can comfortably swing for 15 reps unbroken.
