Every 2 minutes 10 minutes do:

  • 3 x Weighted Pullup @ 15kg
  • 5 x Plate Pushups

Not for time do 3 rounds of 5  Thursters, starting with an empty bar and increasing weight to your working weight for the next part.

With a continuously running clock do “Death by Thrusters”:

  • 1 x Thruster the first minute
  • 2 x Thrusters the second minute
  • 3 x Thrusters the third minute
  • etc. until you cannot complete the required number of reps in the given minute

Results:  For the warm up started with the empty bar and then did 5 x 65lbs and 5 x 95lbs.  Then for the metcon used 95lbs/43kg.  Completed 9 rounds plus 7 reps (52 reps total).

Spend 20 minutes working on handstands.

Then do AMRAP working in a 30/30 circuit for 18 minutes (3 rounds) of:

  • 15 x TRX Atomic Pushups
  • 15 x TRX Reverse Rows
  • 15 x Toes to Bar
  • 15 x Man Makers @ 10kg
  • 15 x Deadlifts
  • 15 x KB Swings

Results:  Tripod tuck up worked OK.  Kickup to Handstand as shown did not work as well as I thought.  Needs more work probably.  Total of 222 reps for the metcon.
