Every 2 minutes for 18 minutes

  • Set 1 – 5 x Deadlift @ 60%
  • Set 2 – 3 x Deadlift @ 70%
  • Set 3 – 3 x Deadlift @ 80%
  • Set 4 – 2 x Deadlift @ 90%
  • Set 5 – 9 – 1 x Deadlift @ 95%

Then every 3 minutes for 9 minutes

  • 5 x Kettlebell Push Press + Overhead Reverse Lunge @ 24kg per Leg (do all 5 on one side then switch to the other)

This was inspired by some compound movements I saw on some Instagram sites. I tried to put it all into a single movement, simultaneously dropping to a reverse lunge as I pressed overhead.

Then 3 rounds of this complex…

  • 1 x Strict Toes to Bar
  • 1 x Strict L-Sit Pullup
  • 2 x Strict Toes to Bar
  • 2 x Strict L-Sit Pullup

Results: Deadlift 135-185-225-255-275-295lbs x 5. Kettlebell Push Press plus OH Lunge complex were OK. Took a lot of concentration to get it right. T2B and Pullup complex was not as pretty as in the video but got the 2 rounds in.
