Deadlifts.

  • 5 x @ 80kg
  • 5 x @ 90kg
  • 5 x @ 100kg
  • 3 x @ 120kg
  • 1 x @ 130kg
  • 1 x @ 130kg
  • 5 x @ 102.5kg (225 lbs)
  • 5 x @ 102.5kg

Then for time, do this modified version of the Team Series 2014 Event 4 Workout:

  • 30 x Calorie Row
  • 30 x Wall Balls (Rx is Burpees)
  • 30 x Hanging Cleans @4.25kg (Rx is 61kg / Scaled is 48kg)

Results:  130kg is a new 1RM for Deadlifts (only 6kg away from 2x body weight!!).  Metcon in 6:04.  The top teams were completing this in around 14-22 minutes which means around 4-5 minutes per person, so not too bad.

Spend 10 minutes working on overhead squats and related mobility.

For time do:

  • 30 x Hanging Power Snatch @ 30kg

Then not for time perform 3 rounds of:

  • 8 x Bench Press @ 73kg

Then EMOM for 8 minutes do 10/50 L-Sit.

Results:  Kind of a random day.  Started with the plan to do Overhead Squats and Snatches but my OHS are so bad I gave up on that.  Snatches in 2:32.  Could only do 7 Bench Press in the last round though.

Complete 5 sets of the following:

  • 5 x Body Weight Bench Press
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • Max Reps Reverse Rows with Feet Raised
  • Rest 2 minutes

Then do two 20/10 4 minute tabattas alternating for each round.

  • Feet Anchored Situps
  • Russian Twist @ 10kg

Then EMOM for 4 rounds do 30 second (or max effort) Handstand Hold.

Results: The tabatta was really hard, I guess I need to work on situps and twists more often.  Could hardly move at the end.

Three sets of:

  • 8-12 x Front Squats @ 35kg
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • Max Reps Strict Handstand Push-Ups
  • Rest 3 minutes

Then for time do 100 x KB Swings, EMOM stop and do 5 Burpees.

Results:  Was able to do all 12 front squats each round. Good weight for right after vacation to get back in form but could have been heavier.  HSPU did 8-6-6. Metcon completed in 5:27.
