AMRAP in 20 minutes

  • 2 x Goblet Hold Alternating Lunge @ 24-32kg (total, 1 rep each leg)
  • 2 x Kettlebell Swing @ 32kg
  • 2 x Pushups with Hands on Kettlebell Ball
  • 4 x Goblet Hold Alternating Lunge @ 24-32kg (total, 2 reps each leg)
  • 4 x Kettlebell Swing @ 32kg
  • 4 x Pushups with Hands on Kettlebell Ball
  • etc.

Results: 8 rounds plus 44 reps. Had to reduce the weight on the lunges to 24kg after round 6 since my hands were too sweaty and I was feeling like I was going to drop the 32kg KB.

Short one today… For total calories, every 2 minutes for 16 minutes

  • 8 x Thrusters @ 95lbs
  • Max Calorie Row

Results: 108 calories (including slop at the end of each row… did not reset the counter). Wow… tough one. Did all sets of Thrusters unbroken and still only had 1 minute to row. Recommend picking a weight which is challenging, but you can do without setting the bar down for all 8 rounds… otherwise there won’t be enough time to row.

Continuing my quest for the 30 second L-Sit…3 rounds of L-Sit Complex using low paralettes (see this post from Coach Dan)…

  • 10 second Seated Forward Fold (Yoga)
  • 10 x Pike Lifts with hands at knees
  • 10 x Pike Dips (Lift your butt)
  • 10-15 second Bent Knee L-Sit Hold (if possible extend legs before lowering)

Then AMRAP in 20 minutes

  • 10 x Sandbag Ground to Overhead @ 20kg sandbag
  • 15 x Sandbag Reverse Lunge @ 20kg Left Leg step back/Sandbag on Right Shoulder
  • 15 x Sandbag Reverse Lunge @ 20kg Right Leg, Left Shoulder
  • 25 Calorie Row

Results: 4 rounds plus 25 reps. Try and start with your weaker leg for the lunges. That way, if you end up only getting half done, that leg gets the extra reps.

Trying to make this GOAT work a regular activity and see if that helps to improve.

Before going out (to warm up) repeat of L-Sits from last week…

3 rounds of L-Sit Complex using low paralettes (see this post from Coach Dan)…

  • 10 x Pike Lifts
  • 10 x Pike Dips (Lift your butt)
  • 10 second Bent Knee L-Sit Hold

Then moved out to parcour to work on Bar Muscle Up progressions…

EMOM for 8 minutes of each (complete all 8 minutes of 1 exercise then move to the next for a total of 24 minutes, 2-3 minute rest between exercises).

  • 3 x Explosive Pullups (as high as possible)
  • 5 x Kipping Pulls (the back part of the kip)
  • 3 x Pullup Bar Dips (start with a jumping muscleup to get above the bar)

Ring Muscle Up progressions… EMOM for 8 minutes of each (complete all 8 minutes of 1 exercise then move to the next for a total of 16 minutes, 2-3 minute rest between exercises).

  • 15 second False Grip Hang
  • 3 x Chest to Ring Pullups

Results: L-Sits went better than last time so happy with that. Pullups were good enough, need a couple more times to see if I am progressing.
