Complete 5 sets of the following:

  • 5 x Body Weight Bench Press
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • Max Reps Reverse Rows with Feet Raised
  • Rest 2 minutes

Then do two 20/10 4 minute tabattas alternating for each round.

  • Feet Anchored Situps
  • Russian Twist @ 10kg

Then EMOM for 4 rounds do 30 second (or max effort) Handstand Hold.

Results: The tabatta was really hard, I guess I need to work on situps and twists more often.  Could hardly move at the end.

This is the best tutorial I found on the kipping pullup and this is the best tutorial I have seen on bar muscle ups and how to use the core to get the kip.

Part A: For time:  200 Double Unders,

Part B: Then 30 seconds for 10 minutes do 20 seconds alternating each of the following:

  • Hollow Hold with PVC bar in hands
  • Superman Hold with PVC bar in hands

Hold the PVC pipe as if you are hanging from a pullup bar.  Arms locked out overhead the whole time you are holding.

Part C:  Finally an AMRAP in 10 minutes:

  • 15 x Pushups
  • 10 x V-Ups
  • 5 x Strict (or kipping if you want to practice) Pullups

Results: New PR for Double Unders, 106 unbroken in around 58 seconds. All 200 in 2:40.  For the AMRAP did 6 rounds plus 15 Pushups, 10 V-Ups.
