Not for time do 5 rounds of Split Squats:

  • 5 x @ 30kg each leg
  • 5 x @ 40kg
  • 5 x @ 45kg
  • 3 x @ 50kg
  • 3 x @ 53kg

Then for time do Grace with modified weight (Rx is 135lbs/62kg) :

  • 30 x Clean and Jerk/Push Press @ 43kg (95lbs)
  • Rest 5 minutes
  • 30 x Hanging Clean and Strict Press/Push Press @ 30kg (66lbs)

Finally do 5 rounds of 15/45 L-Stis.

Results:  First round of Grace in 4:22, Second round 2:13.  For the first round broke it up into sets of 5 reps each.  Second round powered through as fast as possible, taking a break at 15 then at 25 reps.  Only needed push press for the last 6 or so.

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.
