Comments Off on Core Work then OHS and a Pair of Tabatas

Continuing my quest to improve my OHS/Squat Snatch, this is the third week in a row of doing one or the other.

4 sets of the following (taken from Kari Pearce’s post on Instagram)

  • 3 x TRX Pike Press
  • 3 x TRX Mountain Climbers (R+L=1 rep)
  • Repeat for 5 rounds

Then 3 rounds of

  • 5 x Standing Sots Press @ 45lbs (empty bar)
  • 5 x Overhead Squat @ 45lbs (empty bar)

Then every 2 minutes for 12 minutes

  • Set 1 – 5 x Overhead Squat @ 65lbs
  • Set 2 – 3 x Overhead Squat @ 75lbs
  • Set 3 – 1 x Overhead Squat @ 85lbs
  • Set 4 – 5 x Overhead Squat @ 75lbs
  • Set 5 – 3 x Overhead Squat @ 85lbs
  • Set 6 – 1 x Overhead Squat @ 95lbs

Then for total calories/reps do 8 rounds of 20 seconds work / 10 second rest Tabata for each of the following, rest 2 minutes between

  • Tabata 1 – Row
  • Tabata 2 – Pushups

Results: Core workout was really good. Overhead squats worked well, I even completed 3 reps at 95lbs since the first one was so good :). Tabata 1 – 23 calories, Tabata 2 – 83 reps.
