Take 10 minutes and work on press to headstand and kickup to handstand.  For the headstands, once up, hold for 10-15 seconds then slowly return feet to floor.  Focusing on controlling the press up and back down.  For handstands, kickup against a wall, work on full extension.

Then 3 rounds of

  • 3 – 5 x Strict Pullups
  • 10 x Kipping Pullups

Try to combine the two movements without dropping off the bar.

Then for time do 21-15-9 of

  • Goblet Squats @ 24kg
  • Burpees
  • Calorie Row

Results:  For Pullups did the first two rounds with 5 strict and 10 unbroken kipping, third and forth rounds with 4 strict but had to split the kipping into multiple sets.  For the metcon 13:29.

This was inspired by a couple of CF Invictus WODs which I mashed up and modified into what is below. 

Every 2 minutes for 16 minutes (8 rounds)

  • 2 x Back Squat @ 80% 1RM
  • 3 x Strict Pullups

Then 4 rounds for time of

  • 5 x Handstand Pushups
  • 10 x Goblet Squats @ 24kg
  • 15 x Pullups

Results:  This turned out to be a really good workout.  Back Squats at 200lbs.  Metcon in 9:20.
