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.

Not for time do the following ladders.  This is a modified version of  a crossfit.com WOD, but they didn’t specify how to do it so I did it as a triplet, all three exercises per round.  You could also do it as three singlets, do all reps of one before moving to the next.  Increase weight per round.  Rest as needed.

  • 5-5-5-5-5-5-5 x Weighted Dips @ 30lbs/15kg
  • 3-3-2-2-1-1-1 x Bench Press
  • 3-3-2-2-1-1-1 x Turkish Getups

Results:  Bench Press 135-155-185-205(only 1 rep)-195-205-210lbs.  Turkish Getups 12-14-16-18-20-21-24kg.  Rested 30 – 60 seconds between exercises, 1-2 minutes between rounds.
