Then for time

  • 30 x Front Rack Reverse Lunge @ 110lbs/50kg
  • 30 x Dumbbell Snatch @ 21kg
  • 30 x Dips

Every 90 seconds for 18 minutes

  • Even – 4 – 6 x Handstand Pushups
  • Odd – 6 – 8 x Strict Toes to Bar

Then 4 x 20/10 tabatas (4 minutes/8 rounds each tabata), rest 2 minutes between tabatas:

  • Tabata 1 – V-Ups
  • Tabata 2 – Sandbag Thrusters @ 30lbs
  • Tabata 3 – Burpees
  • Tabata 4 – Row

Stick to one exercise per 4 minute tabata, then switch to the next for the next 4 mintue tabata, etc.

Results:  Forgot to count the tabatas, generally tried to keep rep count constant per round.  Worked good for all but the V-Ups, started with 9 reps and ended with 6.  Thrusters kept to a steady 8 reps.  Burpees 6.  Rowed total of 20 calories or so.
