Comments Off on Push Press, Cleans and C2B Pullups then an AMRAP

Not for time, perform 5 rounds of:

  • 5 x Push Press  @ 50kg

Then every 2 minutes on the minute (E2MOM) perform 5 rounds of:

  • 1 x Clean
  • 3 x Chest to Bar Pullup

Then do AMRAP in 8 minutes of (taken from Athlete Games Qualifier WOD 3):

  • 8 x Deadlift @ 60kg (RX was 50kg)
  • 16 x Wall Balls @ 10kg (RX was 7kg)
  • 16 x Box Jumps

Results:  For the Cleans I did 60kg, 65kg, 67.5kg, 70kg, 70kg (new 1RM!). For the AMRAP did 140 reps total (3 rounds plus 20 reps) which would have been 47th place in the Masters 45+ category (except I used heavier weights 😛 ).  HR max = 172 / ave = 159.

Not for time, perform the following:

  • 5 x Front Squats @ 40kg
  • 5 x FS @ 50kg
  • 5 x FS @ 53kg
  • 5 x FS @ 60kg
  • 5 x FS @ 63kg

Then, for time do 1 round of:

  • 21 x Burpees
  • 15 x Thrusters @ 43kg
  • 9 x Strict Pullups
  • 200 x Double Unders
  • 9 x Strict Pullups
  • 15 x Thrusters
  • 21 x Burpees

Results:  Front Squats went so well, tried to make 68kg (bodyweight) but was unable to clean that weight at the end of the round.  For the Metcon 14:58 HR max = 175 / ave = 165. Brutal, thrusters suck on the wrists (funny that the front squats above did not).  Graph below is interesting… long plateau in the middle must be the double unders and the plateau at the end the final 21 burpees.

Part A – EMOM for 10 minutes:

  •  Even Minute – 5 x Dumbbell Press each hand @ 20kg

  • 8 x Dips

Part C – Then for time:

  • 80 x Kettlebell Swings

Do 7 rounds of:

  • 5-5-5-5-5-3-3 x Bodyweight Benchpress
  • Rest 15 seconds
  • 5 x Reverse Rows
  • Rest 30 seconds

Then AMRAP 14 minutes of the following (taken from Mercy Rule at Atomic CF):

  • 2 x Bodyweight Deadlifts
    4 x Burpees
    6 x V-Ups (or Situps)
  • 3 x Deadlifts
    6 x Burpees
    9 x V-Ups
  • 4 x Deadlifts
    8 x Burpees
    12 x V-Ups

etc… (+1, +2, +3)

Results:  For the AMRAP part finished 5 rounds plus 7 Deadlifts, 14 Burpees and 18 V-Ups(of 21).  V-Ups were definitely the limiting factor in this workout.  If you want a more Metcon type of workout just do basic situps.  This would maintain a quicker pace and get your heartrate up higher.  In this case my HR was max=  167/ ave = 146 … the graph shows how my heart rate dropped during the V-Ups and then picked up again during the burpees.

Set timer for 5 two minute rounds.  Every two minutes on the minute do:

  • 5 x Handstand Pushups
  • Rest 30 Seconds
  • 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 x Toes to Bar (increase reps by two each round)

AMRAP in 10 minutes of the following, first round do 1 of each, second round do 2 of each, etc.  (taken from CF Ignite workout from 01.07.2015).

  • Hang Power Clean
  • Front Racked Left Lunge
  • Front Racked Right Lunge
  • Push Press

Results:  Metcon Part:  Finished the 7th round using 43kg which is a total of 28 reps of each.  HR max= 174 / ave = 160  For the lunge, I alternated left and right (didn’t do all on one leg then all on the other).  This one was good and very hard.  In the 6th round needed to break between lunges and presses.  In the 7th round rested between each and broke my lunges into two sets.
