Perform three rounds of the following:

5 Weighted Archups

10 Killers

5 GHR

20m Sled Sprint

Finish with 60 seconds total aggregate work of a straddle L variation.

notes:

1) This workout should be performed as a modified giant set. To this end perform the Weighted Archups then rest 60 sec, perform the Killers then rest 60 sec, perform the GHR then rest 60 sec, and then finally perform the Sled Sprint and then rest 5 minutes before beginning the next modified giant set.

2) Killers are essentially a jumping lunge. To perform Killers, first assume a right kneeling lunge position where the right foot is in front and flat on the ground with the right knee bent at approx. a 90-degree angle. The left leg will be behind with the left knee on the ground approximately 14-16†behind the heel of the right foot and the toes of the left leg curled under to aid in the coming jump. From this position, explode upward into the air as high as possible. At the top of the jump, switch the right leg backward and the left leg forward landing in the opposite lunge position. This constitutes one repetition. Continue for the prescribed number of repetitions.

3) Be careful to only allow the knee of the back leg to only lightly touch the ground. DO NOT bounce off of the ground with this knee or injury will result.

4) If possible, the Killers should be performed weighted by holding dumbbells at your sides. 20-40lb dumbbells should be sufficient for most people; although you should certainly feel free to go much heavier if possible.

5) Add sufficient weight to the sled/tire sprints to make the sprints quite challenging; the running should be very strenuous. If your quads are not seriously fatigued, you are not working hard enough.

6) If you do not have access to a tire or sled for sprints, then possible sled/tire substitutions include: perform the sprints with a weight vest, drag a kettlebell on the ground in front of you while you are sprinting backward, have a partner pulling against you during the sprint with a long strap.

Performed 3 rounds

5 Tempo Weighted Arch Ups- 50lbs

10 Killers - 20 lb dumbbells

5 GHR - with forward bend, I forget the name

20-30 second bike sprint with max resistance

*NOTES*

Forgot to straddle L. i was out of time for the most part, it was already 730 when i finished the WOD and I need to be in bed by like 9. So eh.

Arch Ups needs a heavier weight. They were still relatively easy.

GHR are just so brutal. Second time doing them. By the time I hit the fifth rep i'm like clenching my fists with my hands behind me. I must look like a fool to everyone else in the gym haha

First bike sprint was easy. Second bike sprint kicked my butt, and the third one...eh. I don't know why I didn't get a consistent feeling from all of them. My butt is sore today. hahah.
