Hold It

4 Rounds

  • 15/10 cal Row / Sandbag Hold (100/65#)
  • 20 DB Floor Press (40/20#) / OH Hold (45/35# plate)
  • 20/16 Box Jump (20″) / Plank
  • 16 Single Arm DB Hang C&J (40/20#) / Straight Arm Lat Pulldown Hold (37/27#)

One person doing the reps and the other holding, then swap places. B started on the rower, but for the 3rd and 4th rounds we swapped and I started with the movements. I did 20 box jumps to her 16 since we were using the same height. Good workout! Took us 28:55.

That Feel

Partner Chipper

  • 40 Strict HSPU
  • 60 Burpee Box Get Overs (42”
  • 80 Single Arm DB Thrusters (30#)
  • 100 Pull-ups
  • 120 cal Row
  • 100 Push-ups
  • 80 Air Squats
  • 60 T2B (10-10-5-5)

We alternated doing 5s for the HSPU. I went unbroken for three of my sets and then had to do 2-1-1-1. Since we were keeping the box at one height we alternated between me doing six and Brandi doing four. For the thrusters we each did 10 at a time, five per arm. The pull-ups were 10 sets of six for me and four for B. These wrecked me! I got on the rower and couldn’t even pull 900 cal/hr my first time. But then I was able to catch my breath. We split those up doing six rounds of 12/8 calories. I did 10-10-10-12-12-10 push-ups while B was doing sixes. We each did 20 squats twice. Then to close it out were sets of ten toes to bars. Took us 34:14 and I was not feeling very good for the next hour.

Shorter Pull-up Rest

Conditioning

6 Sets

  • 1:30 Row
  • 1:45 Rest

I did 415-418-421-423-425-429 meters.

Chest & Back

Warmed up with 10 DB Bench Press with 30 pounders.

  • 12-10-8 DB Bench Press (50#)

3 Sets

  • 12-10-8 Seated Cable Row (104#)

3 Sets

  • 4-3-2 Strict Pull-ups

We’re really enjoying the stuff like this with minimal rest while your partner goes. Yes, it’s 9 sets of each movement! Much harder with B doing pull-ups instead of lat pulldowns, so I couldn’t do 3 pull-ups on the end of each round like last week.
