For a slight change of pace, I worked out at 9:30 this morning. ‘Twas a fun workout!
A: Handstand Push-ups (Establish max # unbroken reps)
I took it easy today, and completed 21 kipping HSPUs. Yup, I don’t want to re-injure shoulder.
Vertical ring hold
I held vertical ring hold for 2:05. As I was doing so, sweat ran up my back. Get it? Up my back, from my waist to my shoulders.
Metcon (AMRAP – Reps)
5-min AMRAP
5 reps of the following:
– Power cleans (95#)
– Front squats
– Stiff-legged deadlifts
Rest 2 minutes
5-min AMRAP
5 reps of the following:
– Thrusters
– Back squats
– Bent over rows
1 round = 15 reps
This was even tougher than I thought it was going to be, Perhaps I should’ve rested another day. Or three. The only 3 activities that I truly did unbroken were stiff-legged deadlifts and bent over rows. I should’ve been able to complete rounds of front and back squats unbroken, but instead occasionally shook out my legs. I also completed clusters instead of thrusters for all but the very last rep. I completed 6 rounds + 4 power cleans for the first metcon and 4 rounds + 3 thrusters the second round for a disappointing total of 157 reps.
