Max Heart Rate Test

Thought I should test to see what my real max heart rate might be and adjust my Whoop accordingly.

4 rounds of 2 minutes on, 1 minute rest

  • Row @ max effort

Results: Got up to 169 which was not what I expected since I hit 177 earlier in the week when running some hills. Not a test I want to repeat again soon! Side note… on my second round finished 500m in 1:46.

Ring Muscle Ups, Handstand Work and Row

EMOM for 16 minutes alternate the following movements (8 rounds of each)

  • 2 x L-Sit Ring Muscle Ups
  • 30 second Handstand Hold

Then 3 rounds of

  • 10 x TRX Tricep Extensions
  • 5 x Tuck Front Lever

Finisher, 8 rounds of 30 seconds on / 30 seconds off

  • Row

Results: Didnt get the full 30 seconds on some of the handstand holds since I was trying to be really close to the wall and as straight as possible…kept falling away from the wall. Probably need to face the wall instead of back to the wall. Row 80 calories including the extra slop between rounds.

Back Squats and Front Squats then KBS, Halos, Push Press and Row

4 rounds of

  • 6 x Back Squats @ 85% of 3RM

  • Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg
  • Alternating Kettlebell Halos @ 14kg (around left plus around right = 1 rep)
  • Kettlebell Push Press @ 14kg per hand
  • Row
