3 rounds working up to a heavy

  • 8 x Front Squat

Then 5 rounds for time

  • 40 x Double Unders
  • 20 x Alternating Goblet Lunges @ 24kg (10 per leg)
  • 10 x Dips

Comments Off on Overhead Press then the Bergeron Beep Test

3 rounds of

  • 10 x Stability Ball Forearm Saws
  • 10 x Stir the Pot Left
  • 10 x Stir the Pot Right

Then every 2 minutes for 6 minutes, based on the RepWerks WOD from August 25

  • 5 x Strict Press @ 70-75% of 1RM
  • 5 x Push Press

Then a Bergeron Beep Test but scaling it from 7 reps to 5 reps to make it longer, EMOM for as long as possible

  • 5 x Thrusters @ 75lbs
  • 5 x Pullups
  • 5 x Burpees

Results: For the Presses and Front Squats used 115lbs/52kg which turned out to be too heavy… ended up doing 5/5-5/5-3/3+2/2 reps.

When I did the Beep Test last time with the full 7 reps I could only get in 4 minutes of work, so thought lowering the reps will get in a good 10 minutes. This time, 9 rounds plus 11 reps… very intense for the last 3 rounds, took me 15 minutes to cool down.

Going into the office so needed a quick, full body workout.

AMRAP 14 minutes of the following (repeat of a WOD I did in 2015 and then again in 2016):

  • 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: 6 rounds plus 8 deadlifts, 17 burpees and 13 V-Ups. This beat the 5 rounds I did the last two times I did this WOD so not bad.
