Take 15 minutes and work on Handstands.

Then every 3 minutes for 15 minutes

  • 5 x Back Squats
  • Rest 20 seconds
  • 10 x Weighted Pushups @ 20lbs (in weight vest or weigted backpack)

Then one 4 minute 20 second work/10 second rest tabata (8 rounds)

  • Sandbag Kneel Stand @ 70lbs/32kg

Alternate Sandbag from one shoulder to the other each rep. One Kneel Stand is a rep.

Results: Handstands worked well today. Back Squat 155-155-155-170-170lbs. Kneel Stand did not work that well, 70lbs was too heavy so only got in 25 reps.

Take 10 minutes and work on press to headstand and kickup to handstand.  For the headstands, once up, hold for 10-15 seconds then slowly return feet to floor.  Focusing on controlling the press up and back down.  For handstands, kickup against a wall, work on full extension.

Then 3 rounds of

  • 3 – 5 x Strict Pullups
  • 10 x Kipping Pullups

Try to combine the two movements without dropping off the bar.

Then for time do 21-15-9 of

  • Goblet Squats @ 24kg
  • Burpees
  • Calorie Row

Results:  For Pullups did the first two rounds with 5 strict and 10 unbroken kipping, third and forth rounds with 4 strict but had to split the kipping into multiple sets.  For the metcon 13:29.
