Rest 1-2 minutes into:
AB Burner cash out (6 minute time cap):
8 Rounds
10 Lemon Squeezes (Think tuck-up but hugging the knees)
:10 Hollow hold
The purpose of this cash out is to stay unbroken (it’s also ok if they can’t), meaning don’t come out of the hollow hold until you’re done with all 8 rounds. It’s completely doable, just burns really bad. It starts sucking at round 3-4 for normal people such as ourselves.
SCALE DOWN
Grasshoppers: Mountain climbers, shoulder taps if really limited
Jumping Lunges: Lunges, Lunges to best depth (even if it’s not touching the floor)
WORKOUT 10
AMRAP 12-15 (can be done solo or with a partner)
10 Grasshoppers (2 count)
20 Sit-Ups
30 Up-Downs
40 Lemon Squeezes
50 Burpees
60 V-Ups
SCALE DOWN
Russian twists for sit-ups
Tuck-ups for lemon squeezes
Legs stay in one place while crunching up and down to touch a specific target (knee, shins, if unable to reach toes) for V-ups.
If no one can do anything shoulder heavy, switch to squat movements; Lunges, Air squats and Jumping Air Squats
If this is a partner workout, it’ll be done “following the leader” style. For example, Partner 1 will do 10 (2 count) grasshoppers while partner 2 holds a plank, then partner 2 does 10 (2 count) grasshoppers while partner 1 holds a plank. Neither can move on until both are done with a movement.
