Not for time do 3 round of:

1 x Turkish Getups @ 24kg per hand

AMRAP in 12 minutes of:

  • 12 x Dumbbell Snatches @20kg alternating hands (6 per hand, switch hands for each rep)
  • 9 x Dips
  • 6 x Burpee Toes to Bar

Results:  For TGU warmed up with 14kg then 18kg dumbbells before moving to the 24kg Kettlebell (new PR).   Situp part was the hardest.  Now need to work on volume.  AMRAP – 5 rounds plus 12 Snatches and 8 Dips.

Part A: EMOM for 9 minutes, perform the following rep scheme for strict deficit Handstand Pushups:  5-4-3-2-1-2-3-4-5.  During the same minute, immediately following the HSPU, do 5 Strict Pullups.

Part B: Then EMOM for 18 minutes do:

  • Odd minutes:  7 x Knee Tucks from Hollow Hold
  • Even minutes:  2 x Wall Walks

Part C: Then do 4 x 30 second max Handstand Hold / 30 second Rest

Results:  Format for part A did not work this time.  In round 6 could not do all 5 pullups unbroken which made me overrun in the last two rounds.  Carried on anyway to complete all sets, just no rest between.
