Comments Off on Racked Reverse Lunges and Handstand Pushups

Tried to do the Crossfit Invictus workout from October 7, but misread it and then thought I needed to modified it because it was not working, which made it even harder (IMHO).  My modified version is:

Every 3 minutes for 30 minutes (10 sets) do the following:

  • First 2 minutes, 8 x Reverse Lunges each leg with Bar in Front Rack Position @ 45 kg
  • Third minute, 60 seconds Strict Handstand Pushups for Max Reps

Results:  Ended up doing a lot of reverse lunges (80 per leg) plus 51 HSPU (10-5-3-8-5-5-5-5-5-5).
