Donuts and Coffee will be provided. WOD: 1) “19.5” – 33-27-21-15-9 – AQAP: Thrusters 95/65 Chest-to-bar Pull-ups This is for time, but has a 20 minute time cap.

Donuts and Coffee will be provided. WOD: 1) Every 3:00 x 5 sets: 5 Burpee Muscle-ups + 10 Strict Handstand Push-ups These should be treated as “sprint” intervals. Scale HSPU’s so you can complete them unbroken…that could be less reps, or a combo of strict and kipping. 2) 4 sets of: 12 Dumbbell Bench Press + 30 second Ring Dip Support Rest 2-3 minutes between sets. Work as heavy as possible. Focus on good external rotation through the shoulder in the Ring Dip Support. 3) Every 3:00 x 5 sets: 3 Squat Cleans + 3 Thrusters + 3 Push Jerk Build as heavy as deemed fit. Reference last week for loading. 4) 40 minute EMOTM:…
