Back Squats, Pullups and Pushups then Planks

Every 2 minutes for 6 minutes, work up to a heavy load

  • 1 x Pause Back Squat with 3 second pause at Bottom
  • 3 x Back Squat

For max complete rounds, every 2 minutes

  • 5 x Strict Pullups
  • 10 x Goblet Squats @ 24kg
  • 15 x Pushups

Then 2 rounds

  • 45 Second Plank
  • 45 Second Side Plank Left
  • 45 Second Side Plank Right
  • Rest 60 Seconds

Results: Back Squat 185-195-205lbs. Metcon round 7 (got up to 28 reps in round 8).

Row, Run and Cleans

Every 3 minutes for 15 minutes (5 rounds)

  • 1.1.1 x Squat Clean (stop and reset between reps)

Every 6 minutes for 24 minutes (4 sets)

  • Row 10 Calories (should take around 1:00-1:30)
  • 3 x Squat Cleans @ 95lbs/43kg
  • Run 200m
  • 3 x Squat Cleans @ 95lbs/43kg

Results: Squat Cleans 95-115-125-135-145lbs. Metcon 3:43-3:53-3:48-3:40. Probably would have been better to have used only 5 minutes instead of 6 per round since over 2 minutes rest was probably too much.

Strict Press then DUs, Row, T2B, Situps and Push Press

Every 2 minutes for 12 minutes (6 rounds)

  • 1 x Strict Press

Then for max reps, every 2 minutes for 24 minutes (4 rounds of each), inspired by today’s CF Invictus WOD.

  • Station 1 – Row 10 Calories + 10 x Abmat Situps
  • Station 2 – 50 x Double Unders + 8 x Toes to Bar
  • Station 3 – 15 x Push Press @ 80% of 1RM from above

Results: Strict Press – 115/125/135/140/145/150lbs (failed at 150). 80% of 145lbs comes to 115lbs so used that weight for the metcon. Total reps per round – 10/10, 50/8, 15 – 10/10, 50/8, 15 – 10/9, 50/8, 10 – 10/9, 50/8, 10.

Gymnatics Work then Row, HSPU, Pullups and

Adapted version of the CF Invictus Workout from August 16, 2019.  Adapted since I don’t have space to do full ring or bar muscle ups so this should help to maintain the strength and skill needed. 

Every 2 minutes for 18 minutes

  • Muscle Up Transitions from Plank x Max Reps in 45 seconds
  • Handstand Walk x Max Steps in 45 seconds
  • L-Sit x 45 seconds accumulated

For the MU transitions, do the first of the 3 progressions shown in this video. Don’t cheat on the false grip, undoubtedly the most important part of the muscle up.

Then EMOM for 20 minutes (4 rounds of each)

  • Row for Calories
  • Max Reps Handstand Pushups
  • Max Reps Ring Pullups (with False Grip)
  • Max Reps Ring Dips
  • Rest 1 minute

Results:  For the first part, the transitions worked well, did about 5-6 per round.  The handstand walks went very well 18 steps in one secton (10 in one direction 8 back).  L-Sits with bent knees.  For the second part Row 8/8/7/7, HSPU 10/8/6/5, Pullups 3/3/2/2, Dips 12/12/12/8.

Run, S2OH, T2B and Row
