Comments Off on 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.

I was looking to do Bench Presses and found this as today’s WOD on CF Invictus.

Every 3 minutes, for 18 minutes (6 sets) do Bench Press

  • Set 3 – 2 reps @ 90%
  • Set 4 – 3 reps @ 85-90%
  • Set 5 – 8 reps @ 75-80%
  • Set 6 – 8 reps @ 75-80%

The five rounds for time of:

  • 12 Ring Dips
  • 12 Push Presses @ 95lbs
  • 12 Burpees Over the Barbell

Results:  Bench Press 160-185-200-185-150-150lbs (1RM is around 205lbs). For the Metcon 18:40.

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.

Deadlifts, Bench Press and Squat Cleans

Comments Off on Deadlifts, Bench Press and Squat Cleans

Inspired by Regionals Event 2 (Linda), but since I only have one bar modified it to be more of a strength workout.

For time do the following (time cap 10 minutes)

  • 10-8-6-4-2 x Deadlifts @ 185lbs
  • 20-16-12-8-4 x Dynamic Plate Pushups

Take 2 minutes to move weights, then for time do (time cap 10 minutes)

  • 10-8-6-4-2 x Bench Press @ 155lbs
  • 14-10-8-4-2 x  Dumbbell Squat Cleans @ 10kg per hand

Take 2 minutes to move weights, then for time do (time cap 10 minutes)

  • 10-8-6-4-2 x Squat Cleans @ 125lbs
  • 20-16-12-8-4 x Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg (total)

Results:  Had a lot of issues with the original version of the WOD so adapted it to work better.  Above is the modified version, below is the original.  With the original, the first part worked well, the second and third parts were too hard and I couldn’t finish even the first round in the 2 minutes, so switching to a time cap made it better.  For the last round finished in 9:19.
