Take 15 to 20 minutes to work on L-Sit progressions and Handstand Walks.

Then 3 rounds, resting as needed between rounds.

  • 5 x Bench Press @ 175lbs

Then for time, scaled Diane

  • 21-15-9 x Deadlift @ 185lbs
  • 15-12-9 x Handstand Pushups

Results: Handstand Walks suddenly seem to be working out really well. Was able to walk 4 x 2-3m consistently. Need to work on my leg positioning now to bring them closer together.

Bench Press as prescribed. Metcon 8:58.

As you might have noticed I have not posted much in the last couple of weeks.  Partially this was because I was on vacation but when I got back, I also decided to try out the Crossfit Invictus Online Masters Program.  So for the next little while I will be following their programing.

I am now one week in and it seems to be a good program, the coach is super responsive to the videos I post in Facebook and provides good feedback.  Their programming is also a change from my normal programming so it is a good break from the routine.  We’ll see how it goes for the next month or so…
