Not for time perform 3 rounds of:

  • 5 x Pistol Squats each leg
  • 2 x Turkish Getups each side @ 18kg

For time perform 7 rounds of:

  • 10 x SDHP @ 43kg
  • 10 x Sandbag Thrusters @ 15kg
  • 10 x Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg

Results:  Got in 1 x Turkish Getup with the 24kg kettlebell to start… wasn’t pretty but counts :-).  For the Metcon:  19:33, HR max = 174 / ave = 159 … we’ll see how sore I am tomorrow since 70 x 43kg high pulls was a lot.  Had to break into two sets of 5 after the 3rd round.

Inspired by Atomic Crossfit’s workout of the same name.  For time complete one round of the following (time cap of 20 minutes):

  • 10 x Hanging Cleans @ 43kg
  • 20 x Dips
  • 30 x KB Swings @ 24kg
  • 40 x Push Ups
  • 50 x Double Unders
  • 40 x Push Ups
  • 30 x KB Swings
  • 20 x Dips
  • 10 x Hanging Cleans @ 43kg

Then set tabata timer to 30 seconds work / 30 seconds rest for 8 rounds and alternate each round:

  • Hollow Hold
  • Superman Hold

Results:  The metcon took 12:11, even though I think I accidently did 40 KB swings in the first round…

Plate Walks and Front Squats then Kettlebell Swings and V-Ups

Comments Off on Plate Walks and Front Squats then Kettlebell Swings and V-Ups

Part A: Practice Handstand Plate Walks

Part B: Perform 5 rounds of the following

  • 5 x Front Squats @ 50kg
  • Rest 2 minutes

Part C: Then for time do the following:

  • 40 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 10 x V-Ups
  • 30 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 10 x V-Ups
  • 20 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 10 x V-Ups
  • 10 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 10 x V-Ups

Results:  For Part A, my original idea was to do 5 rounds of Handstand Shoulder Touches but I decided I am no where near ready for that yet so I practiced plate walks instead.  By the end I could get 4  in relatively controlled form (2 per hand) before losing balance and having to come down.  It seems like you need to concentrate on shifting weight from one hand to the other as you step up and down, I can see how these are a good progression to handstand walks.

For Part C, 6:15.  All rounds of swings went unbroken.

For the Record:  Second day in a row I was able to do a round of 50 unbroken Double Unders during my warm-up!  Finally 🙂
