50 air squats
30 GHD sit-ups

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Get ready for a long grind with today’s triplet. The three movements all demand varying degrees of hip flexion and extension. You’ll run, squat, and perform sit-ups, with each movement contributing to heavy legs and fatigued hip flexors as the workout progresses. The total volume is high: two-and-a-half miles of running, 250 air squats, and 150 GHD sit-ups. Aim to keep each run effort under 4 minutes; scale as needed to stay within that time domain. And remember — there are 5 rounds. Try to finish the air squats in under 2 minutes and the sit-ups in 90 seconds or less. If you are not regularly accumulating volume on the GHD, consider reducing the reps and shortening the range of motion.

Intermediate option:
4 rounds for time of:
800-meter run
50 air squats
20 GHD sit-ups to parallel

Beginner option:
3 rounds for time of:
400-meter run
20 air squats
15 AbMat sit-ups
