  • Burpees
  • Dumbbell Step Ups @ 14kg per hand

Then inspired by the CF New England WOD from January 4…

5 rounds of AMRAP in 3 minutes, rest 3 minutes between rounds

  • 12 x Deadlifts @ 125lbs

  • Max Calorie Row

Results: Pullups seemed easy so will continue to add load in the coming weeks and see what that does. Metcon 14-14-2-3-2 calories per round… probably should have used lighter weight but was looking for a heavy challenge.
