A. Overhead Squats

5-5-5 @ 35kg

Then

B. Complete as many rounds as possible in 12 minutes of:

  • 5 x Handstand Pushups
  • 10 x Deadlifts @ 50kg
  • 15 x Situps

Then

C. EMOM for 5 minutes hold L-Sit for 15 seconds

Result:  For part B, ended up with 6 rounds (I think, may have been 7).  It might have been better to replace the deadlifts with 24 – 28kg sumo deadlift highpulls with a kettlebell to get a more intense metcon out of it.

Set clock for five, two-minute rounds in each round perform:

  • 3 x weighted Pullups @ 15kg
  • Rest 20 seconds
  • 5 x weighted Dips @ 15kg

Then for time do three rounds of:

  • 30 x Double Unders
  • 20 x Lunges with 25kg Sandbag in Front Rack position
  • 10 x Dumbell Snatch @ 20kg per hand

Result:  For the metcon – 10:15.  Double unders were still slow, could only string 3-5 together at a time.  Note:  Lunges and Snatches art total reps, so 10 lunges per leg and 5 snatches per hand.
