WHITEBOARD – 2 May 2011
Workload:
Back Squat
- *Work up to 1 Rep Max, then perform 3 sets of 3 at 85% of 1 Rep Max load.
Then:
10 Minute AMRAP
- 1 Rope Climb
- 1 Minute Handstand Hold
Notes: Post max load for the squat and load to complete the 3×3. For the WOD, the 1 minute Handstand Hold can be broken up into sets. I recommend doing the holds facing the wall, with a gymnastic matt underneath you. The position of facing the wall allows for the athlete to come down to a head stand and roll out of the hold.
Take a look at the Gymnastic WOD video showing a forward roll from Handstand.

Since I am not very heavy squat friendly, I practiced thrusters today at Fran weight. I focused on using the bar weight on the way down and spring on the way up. I did sets of seven, I would like to get them closer to 10 solid quick reps in a row.
I did planks instead of handstand HSPU. I complete 4 sets. I did all the rope climbs with no legs which is a first.
Great job on the rope climbs, Brian! And as I mentioned to you earlier, your thrusters looked really strong with a great upward drive.
235 tied PR
4 rounds, probably didn’t quite get a full minute
Lots of achey joints today. Gettin old
305# tied PR also.
4 rounds. Time seems to move slower when you’re upside down.
Missing my night crew partner. Hope you’re doing well, Dara.

A few more weeks and I’ll be back working my quads like KStar routine
