Then as fast as possible accumulate

  • 30 x Box Jumps @ 60cm/24inches

Results: Used 60kg for the Back Squat which was still too easy. Added an extra set @ 70kg and that was fine, so next time that will be the baseline, maybe a bit heavier. Box Jumps in about 2:12.

  • 8 x Goblet Squats @ 24kg
  • 16 x Alternating Goblet Lateral Lunges @ 20kg (8 per side)*

* Have never really done these so be careful and go with a weight that is comfortable. Worried I’d pull my groin or something.

Then 3 rounds of

  • 3 x Single Leg V-Up (L+R=1 rep)
  • 2 x V-Ups
  • 1 x Laying Windsheild Wiper (L+R=1 rep)
