Comments Off on Front Squats and Plate Walks then Thrusters, Pullups and V-Ups

5 rounds

  • 3 x Front Squats
  • Rest 30 Seconds
  • 6 x Handstand Plate Walks
  • Rest 2 minutes

Then 5 rounds for time

  • 9 x Thrusters @ 95lbs
  • 12 x Pullups
  • 15 x V-Ups

Results: Front squats 135-155-170-185-195lbs. Plate walks went very well, but I am also progressing with my handstnd walks every time I try (up to 10 steps) so maybe that is the reason.  4 rounds plus 30 reps.

3 rounds for time

  • 15 x Strict Toes to Bar
  • 40 x Air Squats
  • 20 x Pushups
  • 250m Row (I did 10cal on my rower since it doesn’t do meters)
  • 20 x Situps
  • 15 x Burpee

Results:  22:51.  Nice 20 minute or so cardio workout when time is limited.  Based on a workout from Atomic Crossfit: Temple of your Dreams. Same idea but 4 RFT and Pullups, not strict T2B so if you have the time, throw in another round.
