WORK:
3 Rounds, 10 Reps of:
Sweat Angels, Suspension Trainer
Suspension Push-Ups (as per ring push-ups)
Overhead Triceps Extension, Suspension Trainer

"Sweat Angel" - using a suspension trainer (TRX, etc), hold yourself at an outward angle, where your feet are behind your shoulders. With your arms fully extended above you (and holding onto the ST), slowly bring your arms around and down to your waist in a motion similar to that of making a SNOW ANGEL (hence the name). Be aware this exercise takes a tremendous amount of upper body strength and you may need to rock back on your heels a bit to get the reps completed at first.
