Handstand Work then Kettlebells and Bourbon (Atomic CF)

Perform 3 Rounds of:

  • 60 Second Handstand Hold with back against the wall
  • Rest 1 minute
  • 60 Second Headstand Hold
  • Rest 1 minute

Then do a Kettlebell ladder EMOM beginning at 8 Reps and adding 2 reps per minute (taken from Atomic Crossfit)

  • 8-10-12-and so on…until you cannot complete the total number of reps in the minute

Rest one minute after failure then begin a Push-up Ladder beginning at 6 reps

  • 6-8-10-12 and so until  you cannot complete the total number of reps in the minute

Rest one minute after failure then begin Toes toBar  ladder beginning at 4 reps

  • 4-6-8-10-12 and so on until  you cannot complete the total number of reps in the minute

Results:  Was only able to hold 60 second handstand in the first round, after that only around 30 seconds.  Headstand was the opposite, kept falling in the first round but by the last one was able to hold 60 seconds without touching the wall. Kettlebell Swings – 8 rounds + 14 reps (114 total)/Pushups – 6 rounds + 12 reps (78 total)/T2B – 5 rounds + 6 reps (46 total).

    Handstand were ok, Headstands also (with the occasional tip of the heel to the wall for stabilization..)
    Replaced KB swings with pushpress (13.5kg per hand), since there are no KB at the gym: 4 rounds +14 reps (58 total)/Pushups: 9 rounds +20 reps (124 total).. I must have done something wrong to manage more reps than Chris..;-) but I paid the price with T2B: 4 rounds +7 reps (35 total) 🙁
