+

For time, working 1 min on and 30 sec off until work is completed

21-15-9-15-21 reps each of

Wallballs @ 20lbs to 10ft

Toes to bar

7:45 – only had passive goals with this today. Make sure you get both movements in each interval and I knew I would have to break TTB so make sure they were short breaks. TTB felt pretty good, until the back end of the 2nd 15. With that in mind I expected the last 21 to be a bit tougher but the longer break of the 21 wall balks and a rest made them feel better than expected. But I had already audibled to do smaller sets 

9/17

A1 – Strict HSPU x 10 reps, rest 1 min

(6/4)—(7/3)—(7/3)—(6/4)

A2 – Back squats x 10 reps, rest 1 min x 4 sets

135

*mod loading, maybe 175-195lbs, move well

C1 – 1-arm KB turkish situp x 5/arm

C2 – KB hip to halo x 5/direction (10 total)

C3 – Med ball hold tall kneeling to standing x 5/leg (10 total), rest as needed x 5 sets

This might be one of my favorite little accessory pieces but man it feels dense

D – Every 2 min x 4 sets

24 1-arm KB hang snatches @ 24kg

Recover felt so much better today, shoulders and hips got tired from the increased density but could definitely tell the progress from the last 2 weeks – but broke this up but the kb never hit the ground
