Comments Off on Cleans then Row, Burpees, Pullups and Toes to Bar

5 rounds of

  • 10 x Squat Clean @ 50% 1RM
  • 8 x Squat Clean @ 60%
  • 5 x Squat Clean @ 70%
  • 5 x Squat Clean @ 75%
  • 5 x Squat Clean @ 80%

This part is based on the CF New England WOD from today but modified to match my rower better.  Their version uses a 27-21-15 rep scheme.

AMRAP 4

  • 21 Cal Row
  • 21 x Burpees
  • 21 x Chest to Bar Pullups

Rest 4 minutes then AMRAP 4

  • 15 Cal Row
  • 15 x Burpees
  • 15 x Toes to Bar

Rest 4 minutes then AMRAP 4

  • 9 Cal Row
  • 9 x Burpees
  • 9 x Pullups

Results: I think my 1RM for a Clean is 170lbs but that may be high based on how this WOD went.  Squat Cleans 85-100-115-125-140lbs.  Metcon round 1 – 50 reps, round 2 – 1 round, round 3 – 1 round plus 7 calories.

Comments Off on “Crossfit Total” (2018 Crossfit Games WOD Modified)

After a general warm up, begin with 3 rounds of the the following complex, start with an empty/light bar and increase weight per round.

  • 1 x Deadlift
  • 1 x Hang Clean
  • 1 x Strict Press
  • 1 x Back Squat
  • Repeat for a total of 3 consecutive sets

Then for the main WOD, the goal is to cycle through the three exercises to reach a 1RM of each.  Start each round fairly heavy so that for the 3 singles you are already close to the 1RM.  Every 2 minutes for 34 minutes (10 minutes per exercise)… 

  • 3 x Back Squat
  • 2 x Back Squat
  • 1 x Back Squat
  • 1 x Back Squat
  • 1 x Back Squat
  • Rest 2 minutes,  reset weights
  • 3 x Strict Press
  • 2 x Strict Press
  • 1 x Strict Press
  • 1 x Strict Press
  • 1 x Strict Press
  • Rest 2 minutes, reset weights
  • 3 x Deadlift
  • 2 x Deadlift
  • 1 x Deadlift
  • 1 x Deadlift
  • 1 x Deadlift

Results:  Back Squats 135-165-185-215-230lbs.  Strict Press 115-135-145-155 (failed)-150(failed).  Deadlift 185-225-255-275-295lbs.

Run, Power Clean, Push Press and Toes to Bar

For time

  • Run 800m
  • 21 x Clean and Press @ 95lbs
  • 21 x Toes to Bar
  • Run 400m
  • 15 x Clean and Press
  • 15 x Toes to Bar
  • Run 200m
  • 9 x Clean and Press
  • 9 x Toes to Bar

Results:  17:24.  My distances were off so only ended up doing about 750m, 300m, 200m.  Good workout though.  To make it longer, do 2 rounds at 400m/15 reps and 3 rounds at 200m/9 reps (that was my original plan but wimped out).  Probably good to drop the weight to 80lbs for the long version.
