25 rounds of

10 20lb per hand devil’s presses

30 seconds rest between rounds

Completed in 48:40

Daily work to finish

Notes: Came up with a cute name here. This was riffed originally off of “Meat Eater II” from Tactical Barbell, which is 10 KB swings w/52lb bell and 10 burpees for 10 rounds with 60 seconds rest between rounds. When I swapped the burpees for Devil’s presses and upped the KB weight, I took to calling this “Cannibal Meat Eater”. Now it’s The Hills Have Eyes: if you turn your back on it, it’ll eat you, and you never have enough time to catch your breath.

This wasn’t as much of a nutkick as Kalsu or Tower of Babel, but was still pretty solid. I needed something with simple set up and execution and minimal load on my body. I can probably trim the rest times even shorter if I do it again.

Sweat was running in my eyes pretty bad at the end: did a lot of “eyes closed” presses. Good for body awareness I suppose.
