Not for time do 5 rounds of:

  • 5 x Pistol Squats per leg
  • Rest 60 seconds
  • 5 x Strict Weighted Toes to Bar @ 3kg (medicine ball between the knees worked best)

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:

  • A Push Press / D TRX Rows
  • A Renegade Rows / D Reverse Lunges (left and right count for 1 rep)

Bench Press and Pullups then Burpees, T2B and SDHP

After the killer metcon yesterday decided to just work on strength today.

First do the following every 4 minutes for 24 minutes (6 rounds):

  • 6-8 x Bench Press@ 70kg
  • 3 x Weighted Pullups @ 15kg
  • 3 x Pistol Squats (per leg)

Then do 3 sets of Turkish Getups, 3 reps per set.  Increase weight per set but maintain form all the time.

Results:  The first part worked very well… got all 8 rep on the bench press, pullups also no problem.  For the pistol still needed my heel raised plus 3kg counter weight in my hands, but had plenty of strength. For the last round, was able to use a 8kg kettlebell as counter weight on the side which was doing the work.  Made for a more challenging pistol.  For the TGUs, used 12kg, 16kg and 18kg (but only could manage 2 reps on the last round).
