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.

 

Weekend Workout 10.5.2014

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.

Handstand Pushups, Pullups, Run

Perform the following:

  • 9 Strict Pullups
  • 9 Handstand Pushups
  • 6 Strict Pullups
  • 6 Handstand Pushups
  • 3 Strict Pullups
  • 3 Handstand Pushups
  • Run 5k
  • 9 Strict Pullups
  • 9 Handstand Pushups

Results:  Was just a random workout that I added to my run so didn’t measure it.  The handstand pushups wend really well, all unbroken and full ROM.  Run time recorded in RunningAhead.
