Five sets for times of:
30/20 Calories of Assault Bike
15 Burpee Box Jump-Overs (24″/20″)
Row 300/250 meters
15/12 Strict Handstand Push-Ups
Rest 3 minutes

Optional Additional Work Sessions
*Please choose to perform only those sessions that are most focused on your weaknesses, and only perform as much of the additional work as you can recover from successfully before your next training session.

Strength Accessory Option
A.
Every minute on the minute for 6 minutes:
5 Supinated-Grip Bent Over Row (Heavy)
5 Stationary Dips

You need to go heavy, if you can do 5 reps throughout the workout, the weight was too low. By the end you should only be able to do 3 reps correctly. For the stationary dips use weight around your waist and put the weight behind you, not in front. This will target the triceps even more.

When the running clock reaches 10:00…

B.
Three sets of:
100-Foot Harnessed Sled Drag
immediately followed by…
Sandbag Squats (Bear hug) x Max Reps (If you hit 25+ then its too light)

C.
One set of:
200 Meter Sled Sprint
Immediately followed by. . .
400 Meter Sandbag Carry (Bear hug)

The 200 meters is a full blown sprint. DO NOT PACE IT.

D.
Every minute, on the minute, for 5 minutes:
5 Side Delt Raises
5 Biceps Curls

Gymnastics Skills Option
“2017 Dubai Fitness Championship Event 6”
For time:
10 Meter Handstand Walk
1 Ring Muscle-Up
10 Meter Handstand Walk
2 Ring Muscle-Ups
10 Meter Handstand Walk
3 Ring Muscle-Ups
…and so on, up to…
10 Meter Handstand Walk
10 Ring Muscle-Ups

Time Cap = 15 minutes (please do not exceed the time cap)

Assault Bike Conditioning Option
Ten sets of:
30 seconds @ 75-80/65-70 RPM
15 seconds @ 45-50/35-40 RPM
15 seconds @ 80+/70+RPM
Rest 2 minutes

For each set the 30 seconds should be at a hard pace, 15 seconds should be an easy resting pace then the final 15 seconds should be an all out sprint.

It all depends, I really think the best thing is trail and error. Took three years to find this solution even though people have been doing it for decades. If you look back at all the lifters they all have done it. Cheap ace wrap over the patella. Put twists over the patella right below the knee cap, then continue wrapping. Don’t use the thick power lifting wraps. The patellar knee pain has to do with imbalances, muscles pulling the patella out of its normal track. I have seen a lot of people, no one could figure it out. Stretching… Read more »

I find these compression cuffs work really well, just below the knee over the patella tendon. My knee flairs up from time to time so I will wear one of these for a week or two so I’m able to train through it, in conjunction with treatment and mobility of course.
