Perform 3 rounds of the following:

4 Windshield Wipers

10 Overhead Lunges

20m Backward Sled Sprint

5 GHR

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 Windshield Wipers then rest 60 sec, perform the Overhead Lunges (alternate legs on each rep for a total of 5 reps on each leg) then rest 60 sec, perform the finally Backward Sled Sprint and then rest 60 sec, and finally perform the GHR (glute ham raise) and then rest 5 minutes before beginning the next modified giant set.

2) Add as much weight as possible to all of today’s exercises. Be meticulous in using a full ROM with a moderate tempo.

3) The Overhead Lunges are performed by holding a weight (bar, plate, KB, DB, sandbag etc) with fully extended arms over head and then stepping forward onto the right leg. Go deep enough on the step forward so that the rear left knee gently brushes the ground. Under no circumstances should the rear knee either hit or bounce off of the ground. Return to a stand and repeat on the other side. This would equal two reps.

4) The Overhead Lunges may either be performed traveling forward by bringing the rear leg up or by remaining stationary by bringing the front leg back on each repetition.

5) 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 behind you while sprinting, have a partner pulling backward on you during the sprint with a long strap. The best substitute, and possible even better than the sled sprints, is to run up a very steep hill with a weighted vest.

Prereq

60,50,50-Plank,3x20arch, 3x30sup, 40,35,35 hollow, 3x40 dead, 3x20 rev. Pl

Support felt really good again. Planks could have held the 60, but held back a little today being a leg WO back to back(Working a little behind so I did Dy Leg yesterday)...they usually annihilate me.

WOD:

3 rounds:

4 Windshield Wipers Supine

10 Overhead Lunges(30lbs/small rock)

20m Backward Sled Sprint (Up slight grassy incline, empty sled=51lbs )

5 GHR Half.

60 seconds Straddle L Bent/Low (4x15s)

Notes: Wipers were pretty easy...Tried hanging the last round, but legs were bent/not parallel. Not sure if hanging Wipers with legs bent 90/90 is legitimate. Will try it full out next time. OL felt good, Sled Sprint felt just right with the slight incline and grassy friction. Half GHR hard as always. Feeling a little off today.
