Workout of the Day

STRENGTH

4 Sets of:
A1: 5-8e Single Arm DB OHS
A2: 15-20 Tuck-Ups

Notes
For the OHS, only go as low as you are able to control your positions with. For many, a full ROM OHS may be out of the question, but use today as an opportunity to really work the edges of your individual ROM.
The tuck ups should be performed with as much control as possible. Challenge yourself to see how many you can do without resting.

METCON

Every 5:00 for 3 sets:
20 Wall Ball Shots
16 SA Dumbbell Hang power clean + Push Press (8e)
1:00 Air Bike for Calories

Notes
Each work interval should be completed in around 2:30-3:30. If your work takes longer than 3:30, reduce the volume. Your first round should be the slowest. Wall Balls should be unbroken, Snatches should be unbroken but challenging. Perform 8 on one arm then switch. The air bike should be just no fun at all.
