Double Unders, Pistols, Sumo DLHP, Handstand Pushups

Practice Double Unders

Pistol Squats

  • 3-3-3-3-3

Then perform AMRAP in 7 minutes of:

  • 7 x Sumo Deadlift Highpull @ 40kg (88lbs)
  • 7 x Handstand Pushups

Results:  For the pistols, foot on 5kg plate, 2.5kg counter weight in hands.  AMRAP:  4 rounds plus 7 HSPU.

 

Weighted Pullups/Dips plus DU/Lunge/Snatch Metcon

Set clock for five, two-minute rounds in each round perform:

  • 3 x weighted Pullups @ 15kg
  • Rest 20 seconds
  • 5 x weighted Dips @ 15kg

Then for time do three rounds of:

  • 30 x Double Unders
  • 20 x Lunges with 25kg Sandbag in Front Rack position
  • 10 x Dumbell Snatch @ 20kg per hand

Result:  For the metcon – 10:15.  Double unders were still slow, could only string 3-5 together at a time.  Note:  Lunges and Snatches art total reps, so 10 lunges per leg and 5 snatches per hand.

Bulgarian Split Squats, Double Unders and L-Sits

Practice Double Unders for 15 minutes

Bulgarian Split Squat in Front Rack Position (  Demo )

5-5-5-5-5 @30kg

Five sets of:

  • L-Sit x 15 seconds
  • Rest 30 seconds

Result:  Double unders were OK.  Front rack position  could have been better, didn’t feel my elbows were up high enough but then did not have any issues with my wrists so not too bad.  On the weekend with heavier cleans I felt much better about my elbows.
