Strength Skill:
- Handstand Push-Ups (5 sets of 5)
They felt good, despite lingering soreness in my shoulders and triceps from Wednesday’s press-centric WOD. I did an extra set of 5 just to see how it might feel to have to crank out the 30 HSPUs programmed in Workout 1 of the Regional Qualifiers.
My only complaint: When I’m upside down, the surge of blood to my head makes my eyeballs want to pop out of my skull and shoot across the gym floor.
Metcon:
3 rounds for time:
- 12 power cleans (135lbs/95lbs)
- 12 pull-ups
- 400-meter run
Still, this was a fun one. I love cleans and pull-ups. And the running wasn’t terrible, either. Thumbs up.
Result: 12:02. And in case you’re wondering: Yes, the Terminator smoked me (again).
