Every 2 minutes for 10 minutes do:

  • 8 x Weighted Dips @ 16kg
  • 8 x Plyometric Pushups

Then do AMRAP in 16 minutes of:

  • 25 x Double Unders
  • 10 x Dumbbell Thrusters @ 12kg per hand
  • 5 x Strict Pullups

Results:  Since the new gym in the apartments doesn’t have a Dip station, did dips on a bench with my feet on a large medicine ball and a 16kg weight in my lap.  Did plyo pushups with one hand on a small medicine ball and alternated back and forth switching which hand was on the ball (like on the Bozu).  For the AMRAP did 9 rounds plus 25 Double Unders.
