Three 7 Minute AMRAPs

Did this format before and seemed to work…

Part 1: Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 7 minutes of:

  • 20 x Kettle Bell Swings
  • 10 x Deadlifts @ 185lbs/84kg

Rest 7 minutes

Part 2: Then complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 7 minutes of:

  • 10 x Sumo Deadlift Highpull @ 65lbs/30kg
  • 10 x Dips

Rest 7 minutes

Part 3: Then complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 7 minutes of:

  • 10 x Hanging Dumbbell Squat Clean @ 12kg per hand
  • 10 x Dumbbell Shoulder to Overhead @ 12kg per hand

Results: Part 1 – 3 rounds plus 20KBS and 7 Deadlifts.  Part 2 – 5 rounds plus 5 SDLHP.  Part 3 – 3 rounds plus 5 Cleans.

Handstand work then a 30/30 Circuit

Spend 20 minutes working on handstands.

Then do AMRAP working in a 30/30 circuit for 18 minutes (3 rounds) of:

  • 15 x TRX Atomic Pushups
  • 15 x TRX Reverse Rows
  • 15 x Toes to Bar
  • 15 x Man Makers @ 10kg
  • 15 x Deadlifts
  • 15 x KB Swings

Results:  Tripod tuck up worked OK.  Kickup to Handstand as shown did not work as well as I thought.  Needs more work probably.  Total of 222 reps for the metcon.

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.
