Comments Off on Sunday Workout – 3 Wise Men

5 Rounds of:

  • 5 x Back Squats @90kg
  • Rest 60 seconds (or so)
  • 5 x Strict Toes to Bar
  • Rest 60 seconds (or so)

Then the three Wise men (read the backstory):

“Jeremy”
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 4 minutes of:

  • 5 x Snatch (should be hanging squat snatch) @ 30kg
  • 10 x Burpees Over the Barbell

Rest 2 minutes, and then…

“Ben”
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 4 minutes of:

  • 10 x Power Cleans @ 40kg
  • 20 x Pull-Ups

Rest 2 minutes, and then…

“Beau”
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 4 minutes of:

  • 15 x Box Jump-Overs
  • 30 x Wall Ball Shots

Results:

  • Jeremy: 4 rounds plus 5 snatches
  • Ben: 1 Round plus 10 Cleans and 10 Pullups
  • Beau: 1 round plus 15 Box Jumps and 20 Wall Balls.

Comments Off on HS Pushups, Deadlifts, Situps then L-Sits

A. Overhead Squats

5-5-5 @ 35kg

Then

B. Complete as many rounds as possible in 12 minutes of:

  • 5 x Handstand Pushups
  • 10 x Deadlifts @ 50kg
  • 15 x Situps

Then

C. EMOM for 5 minutes hold L-Sit for 15 seconds

Result:  For part B, ended up with 6 rounds (I think, may have been 7).  It might have been better to replace the deadlifts with 24 – 28kg sumo deadlift highpulls with a kettlebell to get a more intense metcon out of it.

Clean and Push Press Benchmark

Front Squats

5-5-5-5-5 @ 40kg

20 Minute AMRAP

    • 5 x Hanging Cleans @ 40kg
    • 5 x Push Press @ 40Kg
    • 5 Burpees

Results:  A good benchmark workout which I did back in March.  The original post is here. At that time I was able to complete 11 sets plus 10 reps of the AMRAP.  Today I was able to do 14 sets plus 10 reps.  Of course with my March workout I combined it with handstand pushups which probably impacted how many push presses I could do.

Taken from CF Invictus…

A.
Three sets of:
Bench Press x 6-8 reps @ 70kg
Rest 15-20 seconds
Dynamic Push-Ups x 10-12 reps
Rest 2-3 minutes

B.
Against a 4-minute running clock, with 4-minutes rest between sets, complete four sets of the following for max reps of pull-ups:
Row 500 Meters
Wall Ball Shots x 20 reps
Pull-Ups x Max Reps

Results:  For the Part B. I wasn’t exactly counting, but it came to around 7-10 reps per round so a total of around 30 pullups.   First round started with strict, then switched to kipping.
