That amrap is legit.  The strict press is real heavy.  Broke down to a rep scheme of 3/3/2/2.  Love it.  Emom felt great.  ‘A’ series was tough but no ab cramps, right on the edge though.  Had to take a couple quick breaks.  Thanks!

Mild amount of soreness next day.  Love this workout, potent.  Pistols are harder on the left leg.  I accidentally did 13 minutes on the amrap :).  Stretching was so good.  Thanks!

The bike and ski felt pretty good and sustainable.  I think I’ve picked too high a target on the row, dropped off pretty hard.  Thanks!

Fairly sore lower body/back from previous day.  The strict press were heavy for me in this one.  Broke down to sets of 2.  Amrap was definitely a pump and challenging.  Emom was fun.  I struggled to do a minute unbroken on both the hollow body and arch body rocks.  Definitely sore the next day!  Thanks!

Legs so sore the next day!  Super fun to do new stuff.  Enjoyed all of it.  Been forever since I overhead squatted with a bar and felt pretty good.  Tried the pistols with 20# first and there was no way on the left leg.  10# was good, will try a little more next time.  Amrap was fun, low back got pumped with the hip extensions and DL’s.  Thanks!

I did this after work which is a different time of day for me to workout but I felt good going into it.  I could NOT hold my paces though.  I fell off pace on the 3rd round on the bike, pretty big drop, felt like I was pedaling through sand.  I rallied a bit for round 4/5 but not back up to round 1/2’s output.  Started at 16/14/16 flagged to 15/13/15 if I had to estimate.  Same on rower but more of a slow decline.  Slow decline on ski too.  This felt harder than the test.  Definitely made me hungry for dinner.  Thanks!
