Deadlifts, Kettlebell Swings, Weighted Dips and Pushups

Another CF Invictus inspired WOD which I improved on.

5 rounds of

  • 5-7 x Deadlift
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • 20 x Kettlebell Swings
  • Rest 1 minute
  • 5-7 x Weighted Dips @ 30lbs
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • 10-15 x Plyometric Pushups
  • Rest 2 minutes

Cash out with 200 Double Unders for time.

Results:  For the Deadlifts, started with 205lbs/93kg for rounds 1 – 3 then increased to 220lbs/100kg for the last 2 rounds.  Completed all 7 reps of Deadlifts and Dips in each round.  Had to drop to 12 Pushups in the 3rd round.  Completed the Double Unders in 4:44.

Bodyweight 6 Ways

Every 2 minutes for 6 minutes (three sets) do

  • 6-8 x Bench Press @ Bodyweight (currently 165lbx/75kg)
  • 6-8 x Strict Pull ups

Then every 2 minutes for 6 minutes do

  • 6-8 x Back Squat@ Bodyweight
  • 6-8 x Strict Toes to Bar

Then every 2 minutes for 6 minutes do

  • 6-8 x Deadlift @ Bodyweight
  • 6-8 x Dips

Between each round take 8-10 minutes to setup for the next set and to warm up for the lift (Bench Press, Back Squat, Deadlift). Warmed up for each of the lifts with 5 rounds of 5 reps of increasing weight to get up to the working weight.

Results:  Did all 8 reps for each set, except in the first round, so could have gone up with the weight for the Back Squats and Deadlifts. Nice workout after the killer workout from last weekend :-).

Double Unders, Dumbbell Deadlift, Dumbbell Front Squat and Handstand Pushups

Crossfit mainsite WOD from 2013….

For time do

  • 100 Double Unders

Then 5 rounds of

  • 10 x Dumbbell Deadlifts @ 20kg per hand
  • 10 x Dumbbell Front Squats @ 20kg per hand
  • 10 x Handstand Pushups

Then

  • 100 Double Unders

Results:   17:45. Good shoulder workout.  20kg Dumbbells are a lot harder than a 40kg bar (would have probably finished in half the time)!

Back Squats then Box Jumps, T2B, Sandbag Thrusters and Dips

Not for time do five rounds of

  • 5 x Back Squats

For time do

  • 50 x Box Jumps
  • 25 x Toes to Bar
  • 50 x Sandbag Thrusters
  • 25 x Dips
  • 50 x Sandbag Thrusters
  • 25 x Toes to Bar
  • 50 x Box Jumps

Results:  Back Squats, finished with 5 x 185lbs.  For the metcon, compare to July 27, 2014 workout when the result was 20:30…  This time 17:30.  Differences were that I substituted Thrusters for Wall Balls and Dips for Ring Dips.
