1. Max rounds and reps in eight minutes of: 4 Handstand push-ups 2 pood Kettlebell swing, 8 reps 12 GHD situps 4 Rounds completed + 4HSP + 8 KBS This was a cool circuit that seemed to work the whole midsection. The handstands stopped dead after the third set. The fourth set was by far the longest and toughest. So I guess I found the wall. I actually challenged myself to some additional cardio post workout due to the short nature of the workout. I did the following pyramid of sprints: 25m,40m,60m,80m,100m 80m,60m,40m,25m Sprint 100% down and jog the whole time back to start line. What I did not anticipate is how hard it would be for me to put my hand back down then burst out of the sprint. I would put my hand down, look up- and sit. I would say in my head “let me catch my breath” or “just give it a sec” or “run this one about 80%- you don’t want to over do it” The mind is a fickle, fickle thing, and you must tame it. That’s all for today. Will hit it again tomorrow, and it’s supposed to be a doooozy. Top men’s scores from the 2009 CrossFit Games: Patrick Burke (7 rounds plus 4 HSPU), Jason Khalipa and Mikko Salo (6 rounds plus 4 KBS). Top women’s scores: Kristan Clever (6 rounds plus 5 KBS), Charity Vale (6 rounds plus 4 HSPU), Jolie Gentry (4 rounds plus 3 KBS).
