Front Squat Fives / T2B & KB PP AMRAP

A. Front Squats 5-5-5-5

135-165-195-205

205 seemed plenty heavy too me. I wasn't going to push my back too much, and I always think that I'm capable of front squatting more than I actually am. 

I'm in no way sure about anything I did other than the 205


B. AMRAP - 10 minutes


As many rounds as possible of:

10 kettlebell push-press (left arm) - 35lb
10 kettlebell push press (right arm) - 35lb
10 toes-to-bar

I did seven rounds and one push press

At the start, using the kipping technique Aimee showed me, I was finally able to string together 10 T2B for a couple of rounds, and groups of 4-5 in subsequent rounds.  It made a real difference in time.  However, it hurts the hell out of my hands and I eventually had to go back to my one-at-a-time method. 


Hey, speaking of Aimee, she had a hand in decorating the washrooms at CFR, which have been spruced up a bit with some new paint and a couple of new decor touches.  It's very nice.

One of the decor items is a large sign with a series of tips that seem to be telling couples how they can be in a loving and fullfilling relationship.  

But I noticed something kind of funny about it.  See if you can spot it. 





Scroll down if you want to see what I noticed.

"Stay in bed all day."  Hey, I like the sound of that!  What comes next?

"Create memories you will tell your grandchildren about."  Whaaa....?

Weighted PLUs, HSPU clusters, "Venti"

A. Weighted Pullups 3-3-3


20, 30, 35, 40



B. Handstand PushUp clusters:

4 on the minute for 10 minutes (can uber with hands on plates)

I ubered this for six minutes, but in the seventh, my arms, , gave outwith little warning.  I could have tried doing normal HSPUs, but I wasn't sure if it was a minor injury or just fatigue.  I felt unsafe continuing to go upside down, and took a DNF instead. 



C. “Venti”

3 rounds:
500m Row
20 KB high pulls  (RX'd was using a 35lb kettlebell, but I grabbed a 45lb KB and didn't realize it until I was well into round one)
20 KB push press (10 per side)
20 Abmat situps

12:45. 

The push press, particularly with my left arm, was the hardest part.
