Friday 5-28-21 Starke HomeFit

FLEX FRIDAYYYYYYYYYY!!!

A.
E75s – 20 (4 Rounds)
5 Kneeling Strict Press / Side
6-8 Chin Ups / Supine Rows
6-8 Single Leg Hip Hinge / Leg
6-8 Hollow Press / Side
8 Single Leg Step Ups / Leg

Part A. is a strength circuit performed on a 75 second clock for each movement. Each exercise is a bi-lateral movement so the same number of reps should be performed on each side of the body separately. If your weight selection is limited, you may need to slow the movement down a little if it’s lighter keeping in mind you still want some rest at the end of each exercise before going into the next. Don’t pick should crushing weights as this isn’t going to help you have a good time 🙂

B.
“Thrust or Bust”
21-15-9
Thrusters
Bar Over Burpees (no pushup)
200m Run

Today’s workout should be done at a weight where you may only need one break on the round of 21 thrusters, one break on the round of 15 and go straight through on the round of 9. Burpees should be at a consistent pace and the run at a pace that you can get right back to work when you get back to your weight. Don’t go out too hot or the round of 15 and 9 are going to SUCK!!!

Have fun with this one and please choose to thrust rather than bust 🙂
