Not for time do 5 sets of:

  • 5 x Front Squats increasing weight per set
  • 5 x Strict Toes to Bar

Based on a workout from Crossfit Invictus. Every 4 minutes, for 32 minutes (8 sets) do:

  • 5 Power Cleans (43kg/95lbs)
  • 10 Shoulder to Overhead (43kg/95 lbs)
  • 25 Double Unders

Results:  For the front squats did 30kg(65lbs), 48kg (85lbs), 52kg(115lbs), 61kg (135lbs), 61kg.  4 minutes was a long time to wait so if you want, you could increase the Double Unders to 50 (original workout was 250m row).  By the end, the 10 push presses were very hard, so be careful shortening it :-).
