Every 2 minutes for 10 minutes

  • 1 x High Hang Power Clean @ 65% of 2RM
  • 1 x Hang Power Clean
  • 1 x Power Clean

Then, taken from a routine posted by Kettlebell88 pon Instagram, every 2 minutes for 12 minutes, alternate 5 sets of the following complex on each arm. Do all 5 sets on one arm, rest until the end of the 2 minutes, then do the other arm. Total of 3 rounds per arm.

  • 1 x Single Arm Kettlebell Swing @ 20kg
  • 1 x Single Kettlebell High Pull
  • 1 x Single Kettlebell Snatch
  • 2 x Overhead Reverse Lunges (1 per leg)

Results: Used 45kg/100lbs for the Clean complex. Kettlebell Complexes worked nice… took about 1 minute to do all 5 sets, then one minute rest before switching to the other arm. Neither part was terribly hard so feel free to increase weight or reps as desired 😀

These two were individual WODs from the Crossfit main site posted for two different days, but since they complement each other so well, decided to mash them into a two part chipper.

  • 20 x Weighted Abmat Situps @ 3-5kg
  • 10 x Weighted Pullups @ 3-5kg

Rest 5 minutes then…

Part 2 – for time

  • 30 x Back Squat @ Body Weight
  • Row 1000m

Results: Part 1 – 4 rounds plus 25 reps @ 3kg. Kept weight hugged to chest for situps. Part 2 – 7:38. Used 70kg for Body Weight.
