Pistol Practice

10 Pistol Squats per leg

Result:  After a 5km trail run and stretch (calves, glutes, hip flexors) was able to do three sets splitting the squats up into 5-2-3 reps per leg.  I needed the support of a 10kg plate under my heel for the first set then I needed both the plate and an 8kg kettlebell counter weight for the second and third sets.

Thrusters/Pullups plus Cleans/T2B Killer Metcon

Push press

3-3-3-3-3-3 @ 50Kg

For time perform 8 rounds of each of the following couplets for a total of 16 rounds.   Rest between couplets for a few minutes.

  • 10 Sandbag Thrusters @ 15kg
  • 5 Strict Pullups

then

  • 10 Sandbag Squat Cleans @ 15kg
  • 5 Toes to bar

As usual I was making it up as I went along, so switched from 10 to 12 reps for the first exercise about half way through the first round and then back to 10 about half way through the second because the cleans were killing me.

Keeping both at 10 will keep the overall time in a more reasonable range.
