Can someone tell me what the 20X1 means? I’m assuming it has something to do with rate of descent?
I like being 1 day behind, I get to see everyone’s times for the workout so I can really push myself!
A.) 70#, 10 reps for each. Probably could have gone up in weight.
HSPU 8/7/6/4/7 (had to really fight for that last set)
B.)11:10 @ 20″/14#

A.) 135# for all sets but couldn’t maintain 8 reps each leg. 18/14/14/10/10.
B.) 12:30 @ 24″ & 20#. Those wallballs are not fun.

A. Lunges at 145# for all sets. 20 reps on first round and 16 on all other rounds. I had plenty more in my legs but my shoulders/triceps were on fire!
-HSPU’s x 16, 10, 10, 10, 12
Total Lunges: 84 reps at 145#
Total HSPU’s: 58 reps

B. 10:56. 24# box jumps, 2 sets of wall balls at 20# and 2 sets at 30#. Need to push harder, should have finished this under 10 mins.

Thanks Chris…yes, 4rds….pretty much ALL OUT with minimal time b/t movements. Not sure I could go faster unless I did bounding box jumps.

A) did 1st 10 @ 45kg but felt too easy so did rest at 50kg. Quite hard work! Can’t do strict HSPU so instead did negatives with deficit off paralette bars in pike position on a box (if that makes sense!?) did 5 reps each 60 sec having to reset between each single
B) 9:52 but did kipping knees to elbows to work on speed and kip
Feeling a bit unfit today!!

Great work, Georgia! For the HSPU negatives, are you able to flip upside down against the wall to do them? If not, that’s your next step in the progression. Keep it up!

Thanks Michelle 🙂 I’ve only just started out doing the negatives so have a way to go before I have the strength to attempt it in a handstand but as soon as I am able to progress I will 🙂 !

Try to start mixing in some static handstand holds against the wall as a warm-up or finisher. That will help! Keep us posted on how you’re progressing!

Ok will do – I have no issue with being in a handstand just can’t currently lower myself to the floor under control past a certain point. But will totally add this in 🙂

A. As Rx
Station 1: 5 rounds of 20 x 42.5KG
Station 2: 10/7/6/6/5

B. 9.34 as Rx (24″ Box / 20#)

Again, afterwards I felt like I could’ve used a bit more weight on the lunges. This weight still made me struggle enough though. I just didn’t really know what weight to pick for a 100 reps of these. Next time I can add a bit of weight.
Shoulders are always a bit lacking behind for me, but it’s getting better! I’m quite happy with the amount of strict HSPU’s I managed to pull off today.
