Rest 1 minute then 2 rounds, rest 1 minute between rounds

Then 3 rounds of AMRAP in 3 minutes of

  • 20 x Burpees
  • Max Alternating Pistol Squats (total for both legs)

Results: Started with 85lbs for the Press. For some reason was really easy today, so after the 6 rounds @ 80%, added two more rounds @ 90%/95lbs and then one round @ 110lbs (only got 5 reps). All nice and controlled. Second part 7/12 and 4/10 reps. Pistol Squats 18-16-14, 48 total/24 per leg.
