Dumbbell Lunge

3 x 20 @ 18kg per hand

Rest 1 minutes

Complete as many rounds as possible in 5 minutes of:

  • 20 x Double-Unders
  • 10 x Squats

Rest 1 minute

Complete as many rounds as possible in 5 minutes of:

  • 5 x Man-Makers @ 10kg per hand
  • 10 x Burpees

Rest 1 minute

Complete as many rounds as possible in 5 minutes of:

  • 5 x Toes to Bar
  • 10 x Push-Ups

Result:  Double unders still suck.  Set 1:  3 + 19  /  Set 2: 3  /  Set 3: 6

Note to self: Subbing Burpees for the Box Jumps in set 2 was dumb since a man maker is basically a burpee on steroids.

Practice Double Unders

AMRAP in 15 minutes of:

  • 12 x Dumbell Snatch @ 21kg  (6 per hand)
  • 9 x Front Squat with 24kg Kettlebell
  • 6 x Dips
  • 3 x Strict Pullups

Result: Completed around 250 Double Unders in total, max unbroken still only around 12-15.  Seem to be geting up to 5-6 regularly.

For MetCon completed 6 rounds plus 12 Snatches.  Would probably be better to switch the order of the Squats and the Dips (so 9 Dips first and 6 Squats next) because both Snatches and weighted Squats are so cardio intense.  When those two are done back to back, it felt like the intensity dropped off due to the relatively isolated movements of the Dip and Pullup.  Breaking up Snatches and Squats may keep a more even intensity.

Pistol Practice

10 Pistol Squats per leg

Result:  After a 5km trail run and stretch (calves, glutes, hip flexors) was able to do three sets splitting the squats up into 5-2-3 reps per leg.  I needed the support of a 10kg plate under my heel for the first set then I needed both the plate and an 8kg kettlebell counter weight for the second and third sets.
