Fit2Day Saturday Workout

Part A:  For time…

  • Row 1500 meters

Part B:  For time do 3 rounds of…

  • 15 x Kettlebell Swings @ 28kg
  • 15 x Pushups
  • 15 x Toes to Bar
  • 15 x Medicine Ball Cleans @ 10kg

Part C:  For time do…

  • 100 x Ball Slams @ 12kg

Results:  A – 6:02, B – 14:32, C – 6:20.  Cool that A and C took about the same amount of time.  Someone programmed that well.

Kettlebells and Run, then Pullups

Just read an article about the skill transfer from kettlebell swings to the deadlift so thought it would be good to add in a high rep swing workout for this week.

For time perform:

  • 50 x Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg
  • Run 1 mile / 1500 meters
  • 50 x Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg

Then (since I have been neglecting my pullups) work on different pullup grips, resting between and doing max reps of each:

  • Hammer Grip
  • Narrow Grip Pullup (Hands as close together as possible)
  • Narrow Grip Chinup (Hands as close together as possible)
  • Wide Grip Pullup (Outside shoulders)
  • Regular Pullup (Shoulder width grip)

Results:  I did the first round kettlebell swings unbroken.  The mile I did in 7:34, 4:22 per km.  Forgot to start my watch for the kettlebell swings so don’t have a final time but I think it was around 10 minutes total including run.  For the pullups performed 8-6-6-5-3.

Turkish Getups with Grace (scaled)

Not for time (take as much time as needed) do 3 rounds of:

3 x Turkish Getups @ 18kg per side

Then for time do:

30 x Clean and Jerk @ 43kg (95lbs)

Result:  Turkish Getups were good at 18kg!  Occasionally lost the center with the weight but was able to recover. Took plenty of time to recover between sets so that I could complete them unbroken and in fairly good form. Did Grace in 3:53.  HR max=172 / ave=157.

Weighted Dips and Pullups plus a Metcon

EMOM alternate:

  • 3 x Weighted Pullups @ 15kg
  • 3 x Weighted Dips @ 25kg

Then perform as many rounds and reps as possible in 14 minutes of:

  • 7 x Dumbell Snatch @ 21kg Left Hand
  • 7 x Burpees
  • 7 x Dumbell Snatch @ 21kg Right Hand
  • 7 x V-Ups

Results: For the metcon part completed exactly 7 rounds.  V-Ups were not pretty but manageable.
