Benchpress and T2B then Dips and Cleans

Perform 3 sets of the following (format taken from CFI July 27 WOD – later will do that WOD as described since the split squat/HSPU combo also looks good):

  • Max reps Toes to Bar
  • Rest 3 Minutes

Then for time perform the following:

  • 10 x Dips
  • 1 x Dumbbell Clean @ 16kg per hand
  • 9 x Dips
  • 2 x Dumbbell Clean @ 16kg per hand
  • 8 x Dips
  • 3 x Dumbbell Clean @ 16kg per hand
  • 7 x Dips
  • 4 x Dumbbell Clean @ 16kg per hand
  • 6 x Dips
  • 5 x Dumbbell Clean @ 16kg per hand
  • 5 x Dips
  • 6 x Dumbbell Clean @ 16kg per hand

  • 2 x Dips
  • 9 x Dumbbell Clean @ 16kg per hand
  • 1 x Dips
  • 10 x Dumbbell Clean @ 16kg per hand

Result: For the strength part did 15-10-10 T2B.  For the METCON it took – 10:15 (8:15 in Sept 2014).  I started with squat cleans and at the 7 rep round switched to just hanging cleans.  Hanging cleans are the way to go to get the best out of the metcon (quicker cycles).
