WOD:

15 Min AMRAP:

5 Strict Toes-to-Bar

10 Bench Press (bodyweight)

15 GHD Sit-ups

The focus on this AMRAP should be more on good form that hitting the highest number of rounds/reps possible.

Video courtesy of Functional Bodybuilding. With the strict Toe2Bars, the focus is hollowing out your core, and controlling your hips in both the up and down movement.

In the Bench, goal is not bouncing the weight off your chest.  Control each rep, but if you feel like you are getting close to failure, rack the weight, shake out, compose yourself and then get back at it.

Video courtesy of Rogue Fitness. GHDs should have a similar focus as the T2B.  Core control and an added “Fire” of the legs as you come up.
