    September Foundations!

Then, (from crossfit.com)

For reps:

  • 60 seconds of deadlifts (225,155)(185,108)(135,95)(95,65)
  • 60 seconds of handstand push-ups(abmat)(box)(floor)
  • 45 seconds of deadlifts
  • 45 seconds of handstand push-ups
  • 30 seconds of deadlifts
  • 30 seconds of handstand push-ups

We are continuing with 1 rep maxes today with the press.  Stay focused on building a solid “base” to push the bar from.  Feet under the hips, lock your ribs, but and belly down and then press to overhead.  Our metcon is a time priority version of the benchmark “Diane”.  The whole thing takes 4.5 minutes with no rest between exercises.  This is a really cool twist to the normal 21-15-9.  Score is total reps.
