TodAy my 16yo daughter asked me to go workout with her at the Y?
Huh?
Ok, great. She almost never works out specially with me.
We Incorporated as much of today’s Invictus workout as possible.
Plus sums leg raises and dips. They actually have a couple rowers to.
Big fun. Yeah

Rereading it – I messed up as well – read it as 3 minutes at each station x 2

Exactly! My husband looked at me when I said I had to do 3 min a free HSH and said are you sure… I think you need to reread!! Ugh

Rope: 15ftx4 (soccer shin guards!)
Handstand hold: needs work about 10s on 10s off
Rock/sit: had to put 25# plates under my hands to elevate.

B. Much worse than it looked!

A.1) Rope Climbs – 2 ascents in each round
A.2) Used a box to assist the shoulders and just focused on accumulating as much time as possible
A.3) I wasn’t really able to perform the sit so I focused on doing the rock very controlled

B) subbed strict pull ups for seated pullups (using a barbell on a rack) and used 2 abmats in the HSPU. I’m getting the hang on the pacing for calories in the rowing instead of going for distance

54/10/7
56/8/7

Finished with Mic-Hell’s Plank Challenge, it was all I thought it would be ?

A. 1. Did 12 L pull-ups. (6-3-3, 4-4-2-2)
2. Tried to fill as much of the 3 minutes with a HS hold against the wall. Need to get better here!
3. Tuck sits–rough! Had to bend my knees and use my fists to get enough clearance. More work here.
B. Rx. 53-15-10/52-16-8/52-15-9. Good burn.

A. Wow lots of things I’m not good at. Got 7-8 L sit pull-ups and struggled through the tuck sits. Did some handstand holds and then walks, and I have to say huge improvement there. Got to finally be able to hold/walk for 8-10 seconds with some control and consistency.

B. Ran instead of rowed.
About 700m on run.
15-18 HSPUs
10-12 PUs

i do not. Do you think doing as many reps of DU will be a good substitute.

You mean 3′ DU? That’s probably too much (for me, at least). Rob Flynn ran the 3′ as fast as he could, that’s also pretty hard! What about a very fast 400m run?

Double-unders is a good sub IF you can go for most of the 3-minute time domain without resting.
