Comments Off on Back Squats then Cleans and Burpees

Every 2 minutes, for 12 minutes (6 sets) do Back Squats for max unbroken reps in set 6:

  • Set 1 – 5 reps @ 115lbs
  • Set 2 – 4 reps @ 135lbs
  • Set 3 – 3 reps @ 165lbs
  • Set 4 – 2 reps @ 185lbs
  • Set 5 – 1 rep @ 205lbs
  • Set 6 – Max Unbroken Reps @ 185lbs (one full breathing cycle at the top of the lift – exhale, inhale, brace and descend – once more rest is taken at the top, the set is over)

Then for time do 21, 15 and 9 of:

  • Hang Squat Cleans @ 95 lbs
  • Bar-Facing Burpees Over the Barbell

Results:  Max reps at 185lbs: 9 (maybe 10).  Metcon in 10:50 (but Lisa disturbed me halfway through so is only a guess).

Not for time do 3 rounds of the folloeing @ 30kg/65lb, work on mobility for 1-2 minutes between rounds:

  • 3 x Power Clean
  • 3 x Front Squat
  • 3 x Strict Press
  • 3 x Squat Clean and Jerk

Then every 5 minutes, for 30 minutes (6 sets) for max load successfully lifted (CF Invictus workout):

  • Row 500 Meters
  • 5 x Clean and Jerk

Results: Chose to stick to 110lb/50kg for all rounds instead of increasing weight per round. Good workout, really hard on the forearms since my rowing machine has only one setting, 10.
