Results: For the S2OH was able to get up to 145lbs, the last two rounds were all push press.  For the metcon 3 rounds plus 35 reps.Turned out shorter than I planned because I did the metcon wrong.  I originally planned to do 7 rounds for time, instead I did what is shown above.  Was still a good workout.

Every 90 seconds for 9 rounds do 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1 reps per round of

  • Weighted Pullups @ 30lbs
  • Weighted Dips @ 55lbs

Then do 5 rounds for time of

  • 10 x V-Ups
  • 10 x Dumbbell Snatch (alternating, 5 per arm) @ 20kg
  • 10 x Dips
  • 10 x Pullups

Results:   Getting both pullups and dips in for the round of 5 was difficult, used all of the 90 seconds.  Also used too much weight on the dips and so didn’t get full extension in some rounds.  Metcon in 11:22.
