Take 15 minutes and work on Handstands.

Then every 3 minutes for 15 minutes

  • 5 x Back Squats
  • Rest 20 seconds
  • 10 x Weighted Pushups @ 20lbs (in weight vest or weigted backpack)

Then one 4 minute 20 second work/10 second rest tabata (8 rounds)

  • Sandbag Kneel Stand @ 70lbs/32kg

Alternate Sandbag from one shoulder to the other each rep. One Kneel Stand is a rep.

Results: Handstands worked well today. Back Squat 155-155-155-170-170lbs. Kneel Stand did not work that well, 70lbs was too heavy so only got in 25 reps.
