AMRAP in 15 minutes of

  • 3 x Wall Walks
  • 12 x Dumbbell Snatch @ 21kg (total) (Rx is 50lbs/22.5kg)
  • 15 x Box Jump Overs

Then every 30 seconds for 10 minutes

  • 1 x Weighted Pullup @ 20kg

3 rounds of

  • 8 x Cable Pulldowns @ 75lbs

Results: Metcon 182 reps… was hoping to get to 210 :-(. Happy with the pullups, focused on form and full ROM. Same with cable pulls, hoping those will translate to a solid strict bar muscleup over time.

Was able to get below my chest/top of abs, with my high pullups which feels like the work last week has paid off… so continuing towards my goal of a strict bar muscle up.

Every 3 minutes for 9 minutes

  • 8 x Strict Pullups
  • 3 x Deficit Handstand Pushups (from Yoga blocks)

Then 3 rounds of

  • 8 x Barbell Reverse Rows
  • 10 x TRX Atomic “Russian” Pushups

Then 3 rounds of

  • 6 x Cable Pulldowns @ 100lbs
  • 6 x Strict Toes to Bar

Finisher Bike HIIT

  • 5 x 30 seconds work / 30 seconds rest (rest = 80% of work RPM)
  • 5 x 60 seconds work / 60 seconds rest
  • 2 x 50 seconds work / 30 seconds rest

Results: Cable pulldowns were too heavy. Lower weight (76-95lbs) and full ROM is probably more effective.
