A. Gymnastics Play Session
Take 15 minutes to mess around with efficiency with any 2-4 gymnastics movements of your choice:
** Ring HSPU, Freestanding HSPU, Freestanding Handstand Hold, Handstand Walk
** Bar Muscle-Up with Roll Over
** Rope Climbs
**Triple Unders
** Box Jumps (different standards), Box Jump-Overs, Lateral Box Jumps
**Maybe try stringing a few together like C2B/Bar Muscle Ups all without coming off bar etc...
Please choose something that you need work with, or that you believe you could be more efficient with. Note what movements you selected and the rep scheme and sets performed.
 I got a triple under for the first time! And I did 2 ring hspu in a row for the first time.
B. For time:
10 Overhead Squats (155/105 lbs)
10 Box Jump-Overs (24”/20”)

*Brittany - since you email me results every week :) I have your time of 9:16! 
I got 8:59. Super happy with this improvement.
+
On Continuous Clock…
When the clock reaches 15:00, complete the following…
+
Three rounds for time of:
20 Overhead Walking Lunges (155/105 lbs)
20 GHD Sit-Ups
7:50

P.M. (meeting at gym at 4pm to get sleds)

240-Yard Sprint (around the goal posts)
Rest 4 minutes
*Goal is consistent across

1:54, 1:57, 1:51, 1:46, 1:37 – I dragged ass on the first 2 sets because I was feeling sorry for myself since my legs felt like lead. Then when you told me to lengthen my stride, that helped out a ton and I just focused on that instead. And on the last 2 sets I was going all out to catch Armando. So I need to stop being a baby and keep believing in myself.
