  • Double Unders, Squats, Push Press, T2B, Burpee PU Workout

    For Time:

    • 150 Double Unders
    • 100 Squats
    • 75 Push Press (75lbs)
    • 50 T2B
    • 25 Burpee Pull Ups

    Notes:

    I got through the double unders in just over 4 minutes. I started with a string of 35 unbroken reps, followed by several strings of 7-15 reps unbroken. This represents a massive improvement over any previous double under work.
    KStar and Diane Foo's video (Linked in workout) about proper body mechanics (i.e. the front hang position with ER wrists) really seemed to make the whole concept "click." I watched the video, walked into the box and ripped off a string of 15 or 20 cold, and felt very calm and in control. My previous best effort was about 10, and I felt hurried and all over the place.

    *25y sandbag carry (80#, NO shouldering) between each lift.
