Every minute on the minute, perform two 9 minute rounds of  following rep scheme 5-4-3-2-1-2-3-4-5.

  • First round: Weighted Pullups (complete all 9 sets with the above rep scheme before moving to dips)
  • Second round: Weighted Dips

Rest 2 minutes between rounds.

Then do Cindy… AMRAP in 20 minutes of:

  • 5 x Pullups
  • 10 x Pushups
  • 15 x Air Squats

Results: Both Pullups and Dips @ 15kg.  Cindy;  14 rounds plus 5 Pullups, 10 Pushups and 5 Squats (Totals:  75 Pullups, 150 Pushups, 215 Squats). HR max = 164 / ave = 151…interesting that without kipping pullups heart rate can’t get very high (waiting for arms to recover).

For form and timing, every two minutes on the minute for 8 rounds:

  • 5 x Thrusters @ 43kg

For time perform the following:

  • 50 x Sandbag Thrusters @ 25kg
  • 30 x Toes to Bar
  • 40 x Sandbag Thrusters
  • 20 x Toes to Bar
  • 30 x Sandbag Thrusters
  • 10 x Toes to Bar

Results:  Skill portion went OK.  Video taped it ans seemed good.  Metcon: 16:27.  Might have over done it with this one.  First 25 thrusters and first 15 T2B were Ok, the rest was very painful. Forgot my heartrate monitor… would have probably been a new high.

Plate Walks and Front Squats then Kettlebell Swings and V-Ups

Part A: Practice Handstand Plate Walks

Part B: Perform 5 rounds of the following

  • 5 x Front Squats @ 50kg
  • Rest 2 minutes

Part C: Then for time do the following:

  • 40 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 10 x V-Ups
  • 30 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 10 x V-Ups
  • 20 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 10 x V-Ups
  • 10 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 10 x V-Ups

Results:  For Part A, my original idea was to do 5 rounds of Handstand Shoulder Touches but I decided I am no where near ready for that yet so I practiced plate walks instead.  By the end I could get 4  in relatively controlled form (2 per hand) before losing balance and having to come down.  It seems like you need to concentrate on shifting weight from one hand to the other as you step up and down, I can see how these are a good progression to handstand walks.

For Part C, 6:15.  All rounds of swings went unbroken.

For the Record:  Second day in a row I was able to do a round of 50 unbroken Double Unders during my warm-up!  Finally 🙂
