Note:  The Metcon is  a good follow on to yesterday’s workout.  So either do the whole WOD from yesterday then this one tomorrow or if you just don’t want to work on the gymnastics, then do the Front Squat portion of WOD from yesterday and the metcon from today.

Spend 15-20 minutes working on Gymnastics movements, for example, I alternated…

  • Handstand hold
  • False Grip Ring Rows

Then 5 rounds for time (DT Hero WOD… I was inspired when I came across this YouTube video)

  • 12 x Deadlifts @ 95lbs
  • 9 x Hang Power Cleans @ 95lbs
  • 6 x Push Press @ 95lbs

Results:  For the Metcon 9:30 (killed my forearms).  Maybe we’ll try again later in the year and see if we can beat this time…
