Comments Off on Handstand Work then some Ladders

Take 10 minutes and practice Handstand Plate Walks for a couple of rounds. Harder than it looks still.

Then perform 3 rounds of the following:

  • 3 x Wall Walks with 5 Second Hold against the wall (count one-one thousand, two-one thousand, etc.)

Then EMOM perform a TRX Reverse Row Ladder starting at 6 reps and adding 2 per round until you cannot complete all reps in a round.

  • 6-8-10… x TRX Row

Rest 1 minute then EMOM perform a Pushup Ladder starting at 6 reps:

  • 6-8-10… x TRX Atomic Pushups

Rest 1 minute then EMOM perform a Toes to Bar Ladder starting at 4 reps:

  • 4-6-8… x Toes to Bar

Results:  TRX Row – 5 rounds plus 10, TRX APU – 6 rounds plus 9, T2B – 4 rounds plus 10.  Last time we did the EMOM part was in March and I got in 5 rounds plus 6 T2B so going down hill (or the Atomic Pushups had an impact.  In March we did normal Pushups.

Comments Off on Handstand Pushups and Pullups then Handstand and Core Work

Part A: EMOM for 9 minutes, perform the following rep scheme for strict deficit Handstand Pushups:  5-4-3-2-1-2-3-4-5.  During the same minute, immediately following the HSPU, do 5 Strict Pullups.

Part B: Then EMOM for 18 minutes do:

  • Odd minutes:  7 x Knee Tucks from Hollow Hold
  • Even minutes:  2 x Wall Walks

Part C: Then do 4 x 30 second max Handstand Hold / 30 second Rest

Results:  Format for part A did not work this time.  In round 6 could not do all 5 pullups unbroken which made me overrun in the last two rounds.  Carried on anyway to complete all sets, just no rest between.

Bench Press and Pullups then Burpees, T2B and SDHP

After the killer metcon yesterday decided to just work on strength today.

First do the following every 4 minutes for 24 minutes (6 rounds):

  • 6-8 x Bench Press@ 70kg
  • 3 x Weighted Pullups @ 15kg
  • 3 x Pistol Squats (per leg)

Then do 3 sets of Turkish Getups, 3 reps per set.  Increase weight per set but maintain form all the time.

Results:  The first part worked very well… got all 8 rep on the bench press, pullups also no problem.  For the pistol still needed my heel raised plus 3kg counter weight in my hands, but had plenty of strength. For the last round, was able to use a 8kg kettlebell as counter weight on the side which was doing the work.  Made for a more challenging pistol.  For the TGUs, used 12kg, 16kg and 18kg (but only could manage 2 reps on the last round).
