- Handstand Push-Ups (5-5-5-5-5)
Between sets of HSPUs, we played around with rope climbs. A number of us were able to pull ourselves up to the top of the rig using just our hands, though it was murder on our skin.
Metcon:
6 minute AMRAP of:
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...! burpees
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...! pull-ups
6 minute AMRAP of:
- 200-meter row
- 20 dumbbell push presses (10 with each arm, 45lbs / 35lbs)
I sped through the first six-minute AMRAP as fast as I could. My goal was to go at a quick, steady clip and avoid pausing, and finished with 10 complete rounds for a total of 55 burpees and 55 pull-ups.
But then came the rowing and push-presses.
The rowing wasn't bad, but the 45-pound dumbbell was too heavy for me, and slowed me down immensely. I finished only two rounds of the push presses, for a total of 40 reps.
Result: 150 total reps as RXed.
