Not for time do 5 sets of

  • 5 x Power Clean and Press (any type)

Increase weight each set.

Then EMOM for 9 minutes do each of the following sets.  If you cannot finish all reps in a set, rest the following minute then continue the rest of the workout with the number of reps in the highest set completed.  For example if you cannot finish set 7 in the minute, rest for minute 8 and do set 9 with 6 reps.

  • Set 1 – 1 x Power Clean @ 95lbs/43kg and 5 x TRX Pushups (TRX handles about 10-15cm off the ground, hands in the handles, feet on the floor)
  • Set 2 – 2 x Power Clean and 5 x TRX Pushups
  • Set 3 – 3 x Power Clean and 5 x TRX Pushups

  • Set 7 – 7 x Power Clean and 5 x TRX Pushups
  • Set 8 – 8 x Power Clean and 5 x TRX Pushups
  • Set 9 – 9 x Power Clean and 5 x TRX Pushups

Result:  For the first part got up to 130lbs.  Started with strict presses, last three needed a little push.  Second part started easy but the last set was hard enough after 17.1 yesterday.

Take 25 minutes and work on handstands

  • Press to Headstand
  • Kickup to Handstand
  • Handstand Plate Walks

Then do 5 rounds of

  • 15 second L-Sit Hold
  • Rest 45 seconds

Then do 21-15-9 of (Diane):

  • Deadlifts @ 185lbs
  • Handstand Pushups

Results:  Slight improvement with the handstands, platewalks were more stable, kickups more controlled.  L-sits still need work.  For Diane finished in 9:42.  Compared to last time I did this workout @155lbs it was a big improvement (finished in 11:00 last time).
