Comments Off on Plate Walks and Front Squats then Kettlebell Swings and V-Ups

Part A: Practice Handstand Plate Walks

Part B: Perform 5 rounds of the following

  • 5 x Front Squats @ 50kg
  • Rest 2 minutes

Part C: Then for time do the following:

  • 40 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 10 x V-Ups
  • 30 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 10 x V-Ups
  • 20 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 10 x V-Ups
  • 10 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 10 x V-Ups

Results:  For Part A, my original idea was to do 5 rounds of Handstand Shoulder Touches but I decided I am no where near ready for that yet so I practiced plate walks instead.  By the end I could get 4  in relatively controlled form (2 per hand) before losing balance and having to come down.  It seems like you need to concentrate on shifting weight from one hand to the other as you step up and down, I can see how these are a good progression to handstand walks.

For Part C, 6:15.  All rounds of swings went unbroken.

For the Record:  Second day in a row I was able to do a round of 50 unbroken Double Unders during my warm-up!  Finally 🙂

Not for time, do 5 Wall Walks.  At the top, hold belly to wall for a count of 10 seconds (one-one-thousand, two-one-thousand, etc.):

Every 2 minutes on the minute for 8 rounds do:

  • 5 x Hanging Cleans
  • 5 x Strict Press

Then AMRAP in 16 minutes of:

  • 9 x Kettlebell Front Squats @ 24kg
  • 7 x Dips
  • 5 x Strict Pullups

Results:  Fro the cleans and presses used the following wights:  43, 45, 45, 45, 48, 48, 48.  For the last two sets, I had to do some push presses for the last couple of reps to get the bar up.    For the AMRAP did 9 rounds plus 9 Squats and 7 Dips.

Not for time do 5 rounds of:

  • 5 x Racked Split Squats @ 40kg

For time complete the following while EMOM doing 5 Bar Hop Burpees (inspired by Atomic Crossfit’s Family is Forever).

  • 25 x Sumo Deadlift Highpull (30kg)
    10 x Plate Pushups
    20 x SDLHP
    15 x Plate Pushups
    15 x SDLHP
    20 x Plate Pushups
    10 x SDLHP
    25 x Plate Pushups

Results:  AMRAP took 13:54 (that was 65 burpees!).  HR max = 174 / ave = 165.  This was amazingly hard.  Maybe because on Atomic Crossfit they only had 3 burpees and I messed up and did 5.

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)

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.
