Lower Body Vacation Workout

So, following on to my last post, as a second workout, to keep in shape while on vacation here is the lower body version.  Could also swap Back Squats for Deadlifts.

Not for time do 3 rounds of Deadlift with the following rep scheme:

  • 5 x @ 185lbs/85kg
  • 3 x @ 205lbs/93kg
  • Max Reps @ 225lbs/102kg

Then for time do:

  • Row 2k
  • 50 x Box Jumps
  • 50 x Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg
  • 50 x Air Squats

Results:   For the max reps DL did 6 reps. Metcon in 17:00 (50 Air Squats are way easier than 50 pushups)

Crossfit321 Vacation WOD

Dropped into Crossfit321 in Topsham (Brunswick), Maine and this was the workout.  Sam was a member of this Crossfit for a while while at Bowdoin…

Not for time do 3 rounds of Bench Press with the following rep scheme:

  • 5 x @ 65% of 1 RM
  • 3 x @ 75%
  • Max Reps @ 85%

Then for time do:

  • Row 2k
  • 50 x Burpees
  • 50 x Pullups
  • 50 x Hand Release Pushups

Results:  This is a great holiday upper body workout.  Need to come up with the equivalent lower body workout.  Max effort bench ended up with 3 reps at 180lbs/80kg.  Metcon in 20:22.

Crossfit Games Regional Event 2 Workout Modified

Worked on my ring muscle up progressions… false grip hang, ring pullups, ring kipping.

AMRAP in 20 minutes of:

  • 4 x Bar Muscle Ups
  • 7 x Handstand Pushups
  • 12 x Dumbbell Snatch @ 50lbs (22kg)

Results:  Had to quit after 6 rounds plus 4 muscle ups, 7 HSPU and 3 Snatches because I tore my skin on my right hand doing muscle ups.  I think it was at the 15 minute mark.  Second time this has happened here :-(.  First time was about a week ago where I tore a piece of my palm doing muscle ups.  Must be something with the new bars.

Split Squats then DUs, Lunges and T2B

Not for time do 4 sets of

  • 5 x Bulgarian Split Squats per leg with Dumbbells @ 20kg per hand

Then for time do 21-18-15-12-9-6-3 of

  • Double Unders (x 2)
  • Weighted Lunges @ 12kg per hand (or overhead with 25kg… would save on the grip)
  • Strict Toes to Bar

Results:  Metcon part took longer than I thought it would … 19:05, mostly on the toes to bar.
