Deadlifts
For time perform one round of the following:
Results: New PR for Deadlifts. For the metcon we all finished between 11:20 and 12:20.
Practice Plate Walks
Then every 2 minutes on the minute for 5 rounds hold handstand for 30 seconds
Then for time do 5 rounds of:
Result: Best I could manage was 2 sets at a time twice (one set is step up left / step up right / step down left / step down right). For the hold, started with belly to the wall, then switched to back to the wall. I think it would be good to also practice dismounts so I don’t have to down the wall at the end after the long hold. For the Metcon: 15:51, HR ave=160 / max=171
Do four, six minute rounds as follows:
Round 1:
Round 2:
Round 3:
Round 4:
Results: First 500m in 1:41, second in 1:55.
Not for time, perform the following:
Then, for time do 1 round of:
Results: Front Squats went so well, tried to make 68kg (bodyweight) but was unable to clean that weight at the end of the round. For the Metcon 14:58 HR max = 175 / ave = 165. Brutal, thrusters suck on the wrists (funny that the front squats above did not). Graph below is interesting… long plateau in the middle must be the double unders and the plateau at the end the final 21 burpees.
Heart Rate During Metcon
Against two minute running clocks perform 5 rounds of:
Then for time perform the following:
Result: For the Metcon part – Time 13:35 / HR max=171, ave=160. For the dynamic pushup I used a pair of small parallelets (sp?) I have to elevate one hand, then just alternated each side up and down for 15 reps. The Metcon worked out very well for a WOD I just made up since I could not complete the last set of pushups without a break.
