“Dana”

21-15-9 reps of:
Deadlift, 40-60 lbs
Push-ups

Compare to 11.30.12

Post time to comments.

*The original WOD is done with handstand push-ups. If any of you are there physically, I encourage you to do them. If you are like me and you wonder if you might be ready to start trying, be careful, watch form, and attempt 1 handstand push-up per round. If you are new to HIIT, stick with push-ups for now. 😉

  1. 5:38 had double up on the dead lifts only own a set of 10# dumbells so I figured double up the amount to get hopefully what 20# would feel like. Did the push-ups as required. Feeling stronger from the last 90 day!!!

  2. 4:27 20lb deadlifts that's all I have and push up on knees arem are feeling like Jello.

  3. 2:33 with 60 lbs but girl push ups. I did a different workout yesterday tat included lots of push-ups.

    Did yesterday's WOD before this. Fun! 18:18 for that.

  4. 4:02 20# dl, all guy push-ups except last 5. Thanks!

  5. 4:02 20# dl, all guy push-ups except last 5. Thanks!

  6. I've been following your post for a few months now and have done the WOD on and off. I'm starting to follow everyday but have a question….For the RX weight for today (40-60lb), is that TOTAL weight or per dumbell?? I did the squat cleans yesterday with 20lb in each hand.

  7. 3:19 with 30# deaf lift.. Its all I have, real push ups

  8. 4:16 13lbs each arm or 26 lbs total- I think we count the total from a post above… Is that correct?

  9. 4:50 with 24 lbs (my heaviest dumbbells are 12 lbs)

  10. 4:16 40#,reg PU, attempted hand stand PU w/ ea. round followed by sprint WOD:)

    Awesome workout

  11. 4:46 pu on wall, 15# for dl so added squats each round because my lifting weight was so low

  12. 2:44
    Round 1- 15# dumbbells; boy push-ups
    Round 2- 10# dumbbells; boy push ups
    Round 3- 15# dumbbells: boy push ups

    Now I'm breathing hard and I'm shaky! 😉 good WOD.

  13. 3:21 with girl push up…I'm new and have no upper body strength yet! Day 5 no caffeine!

  14. 3:18
    Five bpu per round rest gpu
    30 # dl- all I have, needed heavier 🙁

  15. Think it was 5 min but forgot to time it. Did lift #20 each arm and never lifted that before!! Woohoo. Girl push ups though. Day four…..

  16. 4:51 with 60# and gpu's, going to do the sprints from yesterday tonight, can't wait! My husband and I are going to race 🙂

  17. 6:50
    30# deadlift
    One day I would really like to do handstand push ups, so I did the modified version. I put my knees on a box like they showed in the video. My arms are jello.

    2 mile run

  18. 20# DL, girl pu

    Shawntae 1:29 45lb bpu compared to 2:20
    Jenelle 1:49 53lbs 1/2 bpu compared to 3:08
    Megan 2:03 40lbs bpu
    Leslie 2:10 50lbs gpu

  22. 4:44 60lb barbell, and p/u on toes! I love when the short workouts make you sweat a LOT!

  23. 4:50 40lb deadlift and girl push-ups. Legs were still sore from previous workouts but hubby says keep doing whatever I'm doing cause it's working. Yay for encouragement and progress 🙂

  24. Ran 4 miles

    7:05

    75lb DL (should have done a little more weight)

    Unmodified Handstand pushups against wall–towards the end I could only do 2 at a time. I can't go all the way to the ground yet, I put one abmat under my head.

    I would encourage other mammas to try to atleast do the modified handstand push ups because it totally works different muscles than a regular pushup. Just my 2 cents.

    1. Thanks for your 2 cents! I am interested in trying the most basic modification.

  25. 3:08 with 60# DL and 34 boy pu/9 girl pu

    compared to 3:09 with 60# Dl with 28 boy and 13 girl ( i must have done the math wrong) in November

    did not try hand stand or do more weight since i wanted to compare to november. but going to try some hand stand pu's tonight and start using more weight on DLs going forward

  30. 4:40 with 10 lbs and girl pushups. I had bengay on my abs all night since they hurt from Tuesday! But I did do it with proper form and will try to get a run in tonight for some extra umph!

  31. 4:39 modified handstand pu… did three the first round, 1 the last two. girl pu's for remaining. 40lbs.

    That was a lot harder than it looked! Glad I challenged myself though.

  35. 3:40 with 7 bpu, 38 gpu. 50# dl. Gives me room for improvement, but I'm glad I attempted some bpu. Progress! Blessings!
