EMOM for 10 minutes do 50 Double Unders.

Then do 5 rounds of the following, resting as needed between sets:

  • 6 x Body Weight Bench Press
  • 5 x Dumbbell Rows per Hand @ 24kg

Then for time do:

  • 100 Kettlebell Swings
  • EMOM do 5 V-Ups

Results:  In the first few rounds, went well, with 25 seconds to spare per round.  Started having issues with the double unders in round 7-8 because the rope got twisted and lost too much time getting it right.  Couldn’t complete them all within the minute by 9-10 since my timing was then off.  Got all 500 in anyway. For the Kettlebell Swings took 4:46.

Bench Press and Pullups then Burpees, T2B and SDHP

After the killer metcon yesterday decided to just work on strength today.

First do the following every 4 minutes for 24 minutes (6 rounds):

  • 6-8 x Bench Press@ 70kg
  • 3 x Weighted Pullups @ 15kg
  • 3 x Pistol Squats (per leg)

Then do 3 sets of Turkish Getups, 3 reps per set.  Increase weight per set but maintain form all the time.

Results:  The first part worked very well… got all 8 rep on the bench press, pullups also no problem.  For the pistol still needed my heel raised plus 3kg counter weight in my hands, but had plenty of strength. For the last round, was able to use a 8kg kettlebell as counter weight on the side which was doing the work.  Made for a more challenging pistol.  For the TGUs, used 12kg, 16kg and 18kg (but only could manage 2 reps on the last round).

Spend 10 minutes working on overhead squats and related mobility.

For time do:

  • 30 x Hanging Power Snatch @ 30kg

Then not for time perform 3 rounds of:

  • 8 x Bench Press @ 73kg

Then EMOM for 8 minutes do 10/50 L-Sit.

Results:  Kind of a random day.  Started with the plan to do Overhead Squats and Snatches but my OHS are so bad I gave up on that.  Snatches in 2:32.  Could only do 7 Bench Press in the last round though.
