Tuesday: MelCon

4 rounds of:

10 burpees
25 25# KB swings
10 walking lunges with 45#DB in each hand
10 box jumps
25 bicycles

Took about 20 minutes. Hard. Hardest part was walking lunges (not burpees! thanks burpee challenge!); had to switch to 35# DB for last round of lunges. Took 20 minutes.

Hack squat, hack lift, behind the back deadlift - a deadlift with the bar behind you
Heaving snatch balance: Start with the bar on the back of your shoulders and hold it in a snatch grip. Dip and drive the bar up, then drop into a full squat, catching the bar overhead. Stand up with the bar overhead. Lower the bar behind your head and repeat. See video - http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/CrossFit_SnatchBalance.wmv
Inverted Burpees
Iron rope - stand on a bench, bar vertical in front of you with weights loaded on the bottom. Go hand over hand (with hands close to each other) and walk the bar up, then down - that's one.
