Every 2 minutes 10 minutes do:

  • 3 x Weighted Pullup @ 15kg
  • 5 x Plate Pushups

Not for time do 3 rounds of 5  Thursters, starting with an empty bar and increasing weight to your working weight for the next part.

With a continuously running clock do “Death by Thrusters”:

  • 1 x Thruster the first minute
  • 2 x Thrusters the second minute
  • 3 x Thrusters the third minute
  • etc. until you cannot complete the required number of reps in the given minute

Results:  For the warm up started with the empty bar and then did 5 x 65lbs and 5 x 95lbs.  Then for the metcon used 95lbs/43kg.  Completed 9 rounds plus 7 reps (52 reps total).

Cleans and Dips then Deadlifts

I took the first part from CF Invictus.  The idea is to do each clean in the set as an individual movement so that you can put the bar down, reset and then do the next for a total of 4.  This way you can concentrate on form and maybe higher weights than if you did it without rest between the reps.  Increase weights per set.

Every 4 minutes, for 20 minutes (5 sets) of:

  • 1.1.1.1 x Power Clean (rest 10 seconds between each single)
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • Strict Dips x max reps

Then not for time do 5 sets of desdlifts with the following reps per set

  • Set 1 – 5
  • Set 2 – 5
  • Set 3 – 5
  • Set 4 – 5
  • Set 5 – 3

Results:  Disappointed with the cleans since I only got up to 155lbs/70kg.  For the Deadlifts got up to 275lbs/125kg for the last set (all the weight I have right now).

Spend 20 minutes working on handstands.

Then do AMRAP working in a 30/30 circuit for 18 minutes (3 rounds) of:

  • 15 x TRX Atomic Pushups
  • 15 x TRX Reverse Rows
  • 15 x Toes to Bar
  • 15 x Man Makers @ 10kg
  • 15 x Deadlifts
  • 15 x KB Swings

Results:  Tripod tuck up worked OK.  Kickup to Handstand as shown did not work as well as I thought.  Needs more work probably.  Total of 222 reps for the metcon.
