Every 60-90 seconds for 10 rounds

  • 1 x Bench Press @ 165lbs (or bodyweight)
  • 2 x Bench Press
  • 3 x Bench Press
  • 4 x Bench Press
  • 5 x Bench Press
  • 4 x Bench Press
  • 3 x Bench Press
  • 2 x Bench Press
  • 1 x Bench Press
  • 5 x Bench Press

Then 3 rounds for time

  • 10 x Deadlifts @ 185lbs
  • 15 x V-Ups
  • 20 x Hand Release Pushups
  • Run 200m

Results:  I rested the full 90 seconds for the Bench Press but that might be too slow.  Either rest only 60 seconds or increase the weight if it seems too easy.  For the Metcon 11:13.

Comments Off on TRX Split Squats then Glute Bridges and KBS

EMOM for 10 minutes

  • Station 1 – 10 x TRX Split Squat Left Leg
  • Station 2 – 10 x TRX Split Squat Right Leg

Then EMOM for 10 minutes

  • Station 1 – 5 x Glute Bridge @ 65lbs
  • Station 2 – 20 x Kettlebell Swings

Results:  TRX Split Squats are something I saw on Instagram so decided it would be interesting to try.  Started the first two rounds with no weight then added 10kg per hand for the rest.   The Glute Bridge / KBS combo was good. Once done took a good 15 minutes to stretch my hips and butt at the end… Pidgeon Stretch, Buddah Stretch, Couch Stretch, etc.
