Bench Press then Dips, Push Press and Burpees

I was looking to do Bench Presses and found this as today’s WOD on CF Invictus.

Every 3 minutes, for 18 minutes (6 sets) do Bench Press

  • Set 1 – 5 reps @ 80-85%
  • Set 2 – 3 reps @ 85-90%
  • Set 3 – 2 reps @ 90%
  • Set 4 – 3 reps @ 85-90%
  • Set 5 – 8 reps @ 75-80%
  • Set 6 – 8 reps @ 75-80%

The five rounds for time of:

  • 12 Ring Dips
  • 12 Push Presses @ 95lbs
  • 12 Burpees Over the Barbell

Results:  Bench Press 160-185-200-185-150-150lbs (1RM is around 205lbs). For the Metcon 18:40.

Snatches then Thrusters, DB Snatches and DUs

5 rounds of the following

  • 2 x Hang Snatch
  • 1 x Snatch

Increase weight per round, rest 2 minutes per round

Then AMRAP in 15 minutes of

  • 30 x Walballs/Sandbag Thrusters
  • 30 x Alternating Dumbbell Snatch @ 20kg
  • 30 x Double Unders

Results:  For the snatches 65-80-95-105-95lbs.   For the Metcon 2 rounds plus 72 reps (finished the 3rd round anyway since it was only 18 double unders).

T2B, Squats, Pushups, Row, Situps and Burpees

3 rounds for time

  • 15 x Strict Toes to Bar
  • 40 x Air Squats
  • 20 x Pushups
  • 250m Row (I did 10cal on my rower since it doesn’t do meters)
  • 20 x Situps
  • 15 x Burpee

Results:  22:51.  Nice 20 minute or so cardio workout when time is limited.  Based on a workout from Atomic Crossfit: Temple of your Dreams. Same idea but 4 RFT and Pullups, not strict T2B so if you have the time, throw in another round.

Lunges and Pullups then Plank Tabata

EMOM for 15 minutes, do one exercise per minute (5 rounds)

  • 10 x Dumbbell Overhead Reverse Lunge with Dumbbell in Left Hand @ 18kg

  • 8 x Strict Pullups

Then Tabata (8 rounds, 20 second work-10 second rest) of

Then another Tabata
