Immediately followed by 12 rounds of

  • 4 x Handstand Pushups
  • 8 x Hanging Power Clean @ 110lbs/50kg (originally was pullups, but did those this week already)
  • 12 x Goblet Squats @ 10kg (originally was regular squats with a 20lbs/9kg weighted vest but don’t have one of those)

Strict Press, Farmers Carry, Bent Rows and Goblet Squats

Every 90 seconds for 30 minutes (5 rounds of all stations, 90 seconds per station) do:

Row, Clean and Jerk

Not for time do 3 rounds of the folloeing @ 30kg/65lb, work on mobility for 1-2 minutes between rounds:

  • 3 x Power Clean
