Cleans and Handstand Pushups then Row, Ring Dips and Front Squats

Every 4 minutes for 20 minutes do:

  • 1-1-1-1-1 x Cleans @ 135lbs/60kg, rest for 5-10 seconds between reps
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • Max Reps Handstand Pushups

For time do two rounds of:

  • Row 500 Meters
  • 30 x Ring Dips
  • 20 x Front Squats @ 135lbs/60kg

Rest 4 minutes between sets.

Results:  For HSPU did 13-10-10-7-6.  For the Metcon I forgot what I wrote :-/ and did two 5 minute AMRAPS instead of everything for time.  So ended up doing 38 reps in the first round and then 28 reps in the second round.

Presses then Wallballs and T2B

Every 4 minutes for 20 minutes do:

  • 1-1-1-1-1 x Push Press @ 105lbs/50kg, rest with bar in front rack for 5-10 seconds between reps
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • Max Reps Strict Pullups

Then do AMRAP in 7 minutes of:

  • 10 x Toes to Bar
  • 10 x Wall Balls

Results:  The “rest” between reps worked well to give time to concentrate on the push press.  Pullups: 12-8-8-7-6.  For the AMRAP did 4 rounds plus 10 Wall Balls and 5 T2B,

Lower Body Vacation Workout

So, following on to my last post, as a second workout, to keep in shape while on vacation here is the lower body version.  Could also swap Back Squats for Deadlifts.

Not for time do 3 rounds of Deadlift with the following rep scheme:

  • 5 x @ 185lbs/85kg
  • 3 x @ 205lbs/93kg
  • Max Reps @ 225lbs/102kg

Then for time do:

  • Row 2k
  • 50 x Box Jumps
  • 50 x Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg
  • 50 x Air Squats

Results:   For the max reps DL did 6 reps. Metcon in 17:00 (50 Air Squats are way easier than 50 pushups)

Crossfit321 Vacation WOD

Dropped into Crossfit321 in Topsham (Brunswick), Maine and this was the workout.  Sam was a member of this Crossfit for a while while at Bowdoin…

Not for time do 3 rounds of Bench Press with the following rep scheme:

  • 5 x @ 65% of 1 RM

Muscle Up Progressions then Snatches, T2B, WB, Pullups and Cleans
