Rowing Endurance Option
Every 5 minutes, for 30 minutes (6 sets) for times:
Row 500 Meters

Compare your results to October 4, 2017. Note your times for each of the 6 sets. Be aggressive, but keep your fastest and slowest times within 5 seconds of each other.

Gymnastics Skills Option
If you are not familiar with the False Grip for rings, please watch this video.

A.
Every 30 seconds, for 3 minutes (2 sets) of:
Interval 1 – False Grip Static Hang x 15 seconds
Interval 2 – Cast Swing x 3 reps
Interval 3 – Ring Pull-Ups Scaled with False Grip x 6-8 reps

B.
One set of:
Movement 1 – Snap Pulls x 10 reps
Movement 2 – Snap Pulls + Small Backswing x 5 reps
*The “backswing” is not a large swing. Rather, allow your body to relax from the toes-forward position after the Snap Pull, causing a natural backward drift of your feet, then return the swing in the front where you performed the Snap Pull.

Rest 30 seconds, and then…

C.
For 60 seconds, perform one set of:
Pop Swing x max reps
*Though it may be easy to make these swings large, the intention of the exercise it to focus on aggressive hip extension with an open shoulder angle early in the swing. This swing should stay small, yet produce upward lift creating a “floating” feeling in the torso and a diagonal body position. Arms should stay behind the ears throughout the set.

Strength A) 295, think I could have had did more but didn’t have spotter B) 165 on reverse lunges, ouch C) Done, didn’t write down the weights D) Standing single arm db press, up to 60lb Conditioning This was a huge struggle. First round I made it through at 275 but only got 50′ HSW. Second round I made it through 13 front squats and decided to move to HSW with about a minute left. Third I completed but did squats at 135. My guess is that the squats are meant to be unbroken which mayy be doable for me… Read more »

Strength:
2RM Bench – 155
Lunges done at 105/105/115/115 will go heavier next time
Dips done, but broken into smaller sets

Some of the gymnastics option done.

Conditioning: Since I’m still getting over being sick, and still struggle with anything that involves running, these were just done for time:
13:58 Rx (8-6-6 on squat, 2x50ft HS walk unbroken)
9:55 Rx (10-6-4 squats, 2x50ft Hs walk unbroken)
7:00 Rx (11-9 squats, 2x50ft HS walk unbroken)

Starting to feel back to normal, with just a little chest congestion left over 🙂

Running option

Did it on my treadmill at home. Still glad to do this mentally this evening.
I did the entire thing at 1% incline and 10mph (that’s the fastest my treadmill will go.
For the 60 seconds it was easy).
For the 2 minutes I had to really fight especially for the 2nd and 3rd set.

My Apple Watch says exactly 1.5 miles
