Comments Off on Superturk then an AMRAP

Not for time 3 rounds of:

Then AMRAP in 10 minutes of (inspired by Crossfit Invictus WOD from 8. December):

  • 5 x Toes to bar
  • 10 x Sandbag Thrusters @ 15kg
  • 15 x Pushups

Result:   No problems with the TGUs.   Next time 18kg.  AMRAP: 6 rounds.  I originally planned for the pushups in the AMRAP to be TRX Pushups (CFI calls for Ring Dips)  but they were too hard and so I had to switch to normal pushups.  Something new to work on.   Even dips would have been challenging after the TGUs and Thrusters.

Result:  Double unders still suck.  Set 1:  3 + 19  /  Set 2: 3  /  Set 3: 6
