Warm up with 100 double unders then 4 rounds of

  • 10 x walking lunges holding a plate overhead

Then for time do 10 rounds of the following:

  • 4 x Pullups with Supinated Grip

Results:  Warmed up with 10, 25, 35lbs plates for the walking lunges.  Thought it would help with the squats but was still stiff and weak :-(. For the overhead squats, ended up doing 45, 50, 65, 65lbs.  All were hard.  Metcon in 24:53.

Then do 3 rounds of the following, rest as needed between rounds:

Then do one 8 round 20/10 tabata of alternating:

  • Superman Hold

Results:  Ran the 1 mile in 7 minutes (barefoot on a treadmill).  Since we are stuck in a hotel still, had to do a full TRX workout, but was able to do it outside in the sun at 29° C :-).

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.

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.
