Spend 20 minutes working on handstands.

Then do AMRAP working in a 30/30 circuit for 18 minutes (3 rounds) of:

  • 15 x TRX Atomic Pushups
  • 15 x TRX Reverse Rows
  • 15 x Toes to Bar
  • 15 x Man Makers @ 10kg
  • 15 x Deadlifts
  • 15 x KB Swings

Results:  Tripod tuck up worked OK.  Kickup to Handstand as shown did not work as well as I thought.  Needs more work probably.  Total of 222 reps for the metcon.
