Big Triple

Planned to get in the HSPU workout in the garage in the middle of the day, but that didn’t happen, so I did it at the gym. Going to be my last Skill WOD workout so I can rest this shoulder from muscle-ups and pull-ups.

Warm-up: 3 Rounds

• 10 Pass-thrus (over & under grips)
• 10 Straddle V-ups
• 10 Back Extensions
• 10 Heel Drives
• 10s Handstand Hold

Mobility: 5 Sets

• 10s GHD Hanging Stretch

Test Your Max

Kipping Deficit Handstand Push-ups

• 2 @ 0.5″
• 2 @ 4.5
• 2 @ 7
• 4×6 @ 9 (70% of max)
• Max reps at same deficit

Rest was 2:00 between those last 5 working sets. I made it through all the sets of 6 again and got an extra one to make a final set of 6 on the max set. Wore the new Reebok CrossFit Speed TR that were delivered today. The HSPU strip on the heel is really cool.

Strength Accessory: 3 Sets

• 8 Seated DB Press (53# KB)
• 20 Barbell Hollow Rocks

Not really cool with the KB, but the 40# DBs we have at the gym aren’t heavy enough. Hard to get the KB up to your shoulders from the floor in a seated position. Cut it back to 3 rounds instead of 5 so I could join Bryan in some stuff.

Skill

Warmed up snatches with touch-n-go power triples of 45-95-125-135-155 pounds. Felt great!

12:00 EMOM (alt)

• 3 Power Snatch
• 10 Pistols

Used 165# for the first 4 sets and it felt really good so I went 175 and then 185! All still touch-n-go too. I’d never even tried 175 before today. Pistols went well and were solid in these new shoes.

Conditioning

6:00 AMRAP

• 4 Thrusters (115#)
• 4 Burpee Box Jump Overs

Nasty combo. Quads had a nice burn by the end. Did 7 rounds plus the thrusters and 1 final burpee box over. Rested too much before picking up the bar each round, as usual with me.

Really happy about the new shoes. They are on par with the Nano 5. Looking forward to ordering a pair of the Nike Metcon 2 at the end of the month when they are released.
