Back Squats then 2019 Games Online Qualifier Workout #4 (scaled)

By | | , , , ,

6 rounds of Back Squats, resting 2-3 minutes per round

  • Set 1 – 5 reps @ 70-75%
  • Set 2 – 3 reps @ 75-80%
  • Set 3 – 1 rep @ 80-85%
  • Set 4 – 5 reps @ 75-80%
  • Set 5 – 3 reps @ 80-85%
  • Set 6 – 1 rep @ 85-90%

AMRAP in 8 minutes of

  • 45 x Thrusters @ 65lbs
  • 45 x Toes to Bar
  • 45 x Cleans @ 65lbs
  • 45 x Pullups

Results:  Back Squats 170-195-220-195-220-230lbs.  Metcon 107 reps (45 -45-17).  Interesting metcon for the games but not very effective for training since the time is too short to get through the whole set (very few online athletes finished all 180 reps).  I’d modify it into two 8 minute AMRAPs with 25 reps per exercise and a 4 minute break between AMRAPs.  Maybe something to try next week.

Every 2 minutes for 15 minutes, Front Squats

  • 5 @ 55%
  • 5 @ 65%
  • 3 @ 75%
  • 2 @ 85%
  • 2 @ 95%

Then for time (Street Parking WOD from April 26)

Time Cap 15 minutes.

Results:  Front Squats 115-135-155-185-205lbs.  For the metcon ended up with only 62 reps after the 15 minutes so I guess the 95lbs was too heavy.  Great workout
