EMOM for 10 minutes do 50 Double Unders.

Then do 5 rounds of the following, resting as needed between sets:

  • 6 x Body Weight Bench Press
  • 5 x Dumbbell Rows per Hand @ 24kg

Then for time do:

  • 100 Kettlebell Swings
  • EMOM do 5 V-Ups

Results:  In the first few rounds, went well, with 25 seconds to spare per round.  Started having issues with the double unders in round 7-8 because the rope got twisted and lost too much time getting it right.  Couldn’t complete them all within the minute by 9-10 since my timing was then off.  Got all 500 in anyway. For the Kettlebell Swings took 4:46.
