Hopper Workout

General — Tags: , , , , — Tim Nowaczyk on August 24th, 2009

A lot of reps of some standard exercises today.

WOD for Time:

1 Minute Handstand Hold
40 Pullups
40 Burpees
40 Situps
40 Air Squats

We did some front squats as part of the warm up (3x15reps). My PR 3rep FS was 75# a year and a half ago, but I also didn’t know what I was doing. I went with 67# today and got a good workout. My wrists need some stretching work so I’ll be adding the Reverse Namaste stretch to my warm up. I found another good tip online to think about pushing your elbows into the wall in front of you when doing front squats. This will create a bigger shelf for the bar and will give an extra half-inch or so for your hands.

On to the WOD. I think I can do a hand-stand, but holding it for 1 minute is definitely out. The substitution was a plank hold and even that was making my arms shake by the end of the minute. I was able to do 7 dead-hang pull ups, and the rest were jumping pull ups. The burpees were slow, but as Rx. Situps on an ab-mat.

Final time- 12:48
