Inspired by the Crossfit WOD from 25 June…

For time

  • Row 2000m
  • Every 90 seconds stop and do 6 Altenating Pistol Squats (3 per leg)

Then EMOM for 10 minutes

  • 1-2 x Pistol Squat (focus on weak leg only)

Results: 19:16 (12 rounds plus 76 seconds). Used 10kg plate under my heel for the squats. Left leg had a lot of issues, counted some no-rep, so used that for part 2.
