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).

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.
