Part A: EMOM for 9 minutes, perform the following rep scheme for strict deficit Handstand Pushups:  5-4-3-2-1-2-3-4-5.  During the same minute, immediately following the HSPU, do 5 Strict Pullups.

Part B: Then EMOM for 18 minutes do:

  • Odd minutes:  7 x Knee Tucks from Hollow Hold
  • Even minutes:  2 x Wall Walks

Part C: Then do 4 x 30 second max Handstand Hold / 30 second Rest

Results:  Format for part A did not work this time.  In round 6 could not do all 5 pullups unbroken which made me overrun in the last two rounds.  Carried on anyway to complete all sets, just no rest between.

Part A:  Take 15 minutes and practice kipping Toes to Bar.

Part B: Every 4 minutes for 4 sets (16 minutes):

  • 5 x Strict Press with successively heavy weights
  • Max Reps Unbroken Kipping Pullups

Part C:  EMOM for 20 minutes (another CFI workout).

  • Odd Minute:  3 x Power Snatch @ 35Kg

Results:  Part A – Finally got the kipping T2B down.  Was able to do 10 unbroken without pausing between. Still a bit inefficient with the kip, since it is still a big movement, but at least now they are quick.  Part B – 5 x 50kg, 5 x 52.5kg, 3 x 55kg, 3 x 55kg and total 37 (8-10-8-11) pullups.  Part C – Distances rowed – 150,149,137,157,150,150,151,150,140,147 – 1’481m total.

Push and Pull in Two Planes

Warm up with 200 Double Unders.

Made this one up based on something I heard in my level one class regarding different planes of motion.  Basically you will be doing the same movement in each round just in different planes… vertical and horizontal. Ideally all should be with body weight but since I can’t press or clean that much, scaled it down to 2/3 body weight.

EMOM for 18 minutes do the following two triplets alternating each minute:

Even minute:

  • 3 x Strict Press @ 2/3 body weight (45kg for me)
  • 6 x Hand Release Pushups
  • 3 x Dips

Odd minue:

  • 3 x Pullups
  • 6 x Reverse Rows with feet on box
  • 3 x Hanging Cleans @ 2/3 Body Weight (45kg)

Then 20/10 Tabata for 4 minutes (8 rounds) of:

  • Superman Hold
  • Hollow Hold

Results:  Did my first 100 DUs in 1:05 (!?), whole 200 in around 3:35.  Second part worked pretty well.  Starts off slow but by the end your arms really feel it. Completed the last round with 4 seconds to spare.
