Bench Press and Reverse Rows, then Core and Handstand Work

Complete 5 sets of the following:

  • 5 x Body Weight Bench Press
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • Max Reps Reverse Rows with Feet Raised
  • Rest 2 minutes

Then do two 20/10 4 minute tabattas alternating for each round.

  • Feet Anchored Situps
  • Russian Twist @ 10kg

Then EMOM for 4 rounds do 30 second (or max effort) Handstand Hold.

Results: The tabatta was really hard, I guess I need to work on situps and twists more often.  Could hardly move at the end.
