3 rounds of

  • 8 x Sumo Deadlift @ 155lbs/70kg
  • 30-45 Second Handstand Hold

Then 10 rounds for time

  • 15 x Dual Kettlebell Deadlift @ 14kg per Hand
  • 10 x Dual Kettlebell Swings @ 14kg per Hand
  • 5 x Dual Kettlebell Thruster @ 14kg per Hand

Results: Took some time warming up for the deadlifts since I don’t do them so often. 45 second handstand hold felt like a long time, only could manage 30 seconds at the end. Metcon 19:52.

Repeat of a workout from Crossfit Invictus which we did on April 15, 2016.

Every 4 minutes, for 32 minutes (8 sets)

  • 5 x Power Cleans (43kg/95lbs)
  • 10 x Shoulder to Overhead (43kg/95 lbs)
  • Row 250m

Results: Not as hard as we made it sound last time, had almost 2 minutes rest per round. Of course last week in Crossfit I did 4 rounds of 10 x Strict Press @ 40kg so maybe that helped.
