Deadlifts, Handstand Pushups and L-Sits

Take 25 minutes and work on handstands

  • Press to Headstand
  • Kickup to Handstand
  • Handstand Plate Walks

Then do 5 rounds of

  • 15 second L-Sit Hold
  • Rest 45 seconds

Then do 21-15-9 of (Diane):

  • Deadlifts @ 185lbs
  • Handstand Pushups

Results:  Slight improvement with the handstands, platewalks were more stable, kickups more controlled.  L-sits still need work.  For Diane finished in 9:42.  Compared to last time I did this workout @155lbs it was a big improvement (finished in 11:00 last time).

Core Work then Pullups and Pushups

Every minute on the minute for 15 minutes do:

  • Minute 1 – 5 x Strict Toes to Bar
  • Minute 2 – 10 x Russian Twist @ 8kg
  • Minute 3 – 15 second L-Sit

Then every minute on the minute for 8 minutes do:

  • 5 x Strict Pullups
  • 10 x Pushups

Results:  Nice lite start after 2 weeks off to move.

Weighted Pullups and Dips, Some Clusters and then L-Sits

For total number of Pullups / Dips, do 3 rounds of:

  • 3 x Weighted Pullups @ 15kg
  • Rest 30 Seconds
  • Max Reps Pullups
  • Rest 30 Seconds
  • 3 x Weighted Dips @ 25kg
  • Rest 30 Seconds
  • Max Reps Dips

Then EMOM for 5 minutes do:

You can either do full cleans or hanging as shown in the video.  With the full it was more comfortable to keep the weights between the legs instead of outside since the weights are so low.

Then do 8 rounds of 15 second work / 45 second rest of L-Sits.

Results:  For the first part, 20 Pullups / 25 Dips (not counting the weighted reps).

Squat Cleans and Pullups then Thrusters and Burpees

Every 3 minutes for 12 minutes (4 rounds) do

  • 5 x Squat Cleans @ 50kg
  • 5 x Pullups

Then for time do both ascending (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8) and descending (8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1) ladders of:

  • Ascending: Burpees
  • Descending: Thrusters @ 43kg

Then 5 rounds of 15/30 L-Sits.

Results: Ladders took exactly 8 minutes as I was hoping.

Split Squats then Double Grace (modified)

Not for time do 5 rounds of Split Squats:

  • 5 x @ 30kg each leg
  • 5 x @ 40kg
  • 5 x @ 45kg
  • 3 x @ 50kg
  • 3 x @ 53kg

Then for time do Grace with modified weight (Rx is 135lbs/62kg) :

Finally do 5 rounds of 15/45 L-Stis.

Results:  First round of Grace in 4:22, Second round 2:13.  For the first round broke it up into sets of 5 reps each.  Second round powered through as fast as possible, taking a break at 15 then at 25 reps.  Only needed push press for the last 6 or so.
