7 rounds Deadlift with the following rep scheme

  • 5 x @ 60%
  • 3 x @ 70%
  • 3 x @ 80%
  • 2 x @ 85%
  • 1 x @ 90%
  • 1 x @ 95%
  • 1 x @ 95+%

Then a scaled version of the Incredible Hulk WOD (Rx is AMRAP 20 @ 115lbs for men / 75lbs for women) AMRAP in 15 minutes of

  • 5 x Deadlift @ 75lbs/34kg
  • 5 x Hang Power Clean @ 75lbs
  • 5 x Front Squat @ 75lbs
  • 5 x Push Press @ 75lbs
  • 5 x Back Squat @ 75lbs

Results: My 1RM Deadlift was around 300lbs/136kg. Deadlift 185-215-235-255-275-295-295lbs/134kg (that’s all the weights I have 😞). I have to assume my 1RM is now above 136kg… maybe 140? Metcon 10 rounds plus 10 reps.

3 rounds of

  • 6 x Weighted Pullup @ 10kg
  • Rest 1 minute
  • 8 x Weighted Dips @ 10kg
  • Rest 2 minutes

Then immediately following the last rest do one round of

  • 6 x Strict Pullups
  • Rest 1 min
  • 8 x Dips

Then 5 rounds of 30 second work, 30 second rest (25 minutes total)

  • TRX Pike Press
  • TRX Rear Foot Elevated Split Squat Left
  • TRX Pushup
  • TRX RFE Split Squat Right
  • TRX Tricep Extensions

Keep the TRX Straps at the same length throughout.

Results: I didn’t count the TRX stuff so just do it as best as possible. I kept the handles of the TRX at around knee high. For the split squats, I put my foot through both loops otherwise the strap dropped too low. Heavy TRICEP workout.

3 rounds working up to a heavy

  • 8 x Front Squat

Then 5 rounds for time

  • 40 x Double Unders
  • 20 x Alternating Goblet Lunges @ 24kg (10 per leg)
  • 10 x Dips

Results: Front Squats 135-155-165lbs. Metcon 12:58. Dips were a struggle which normally is not an issue. Maybe the goblet hold has something to do with it.

Comments Off on Overhead Press then the Bergeron Beep Test

3 rounds of

  • 10 x Stability Ball Forearm Saws
  • 10 x Stir the Pot Left
  • 10 x Stir the Pot Right

Then every 2 minutes for 6 minutes, based on the RepWerks WOD from August 25

  • 5 x Strict Press @ 70-75% of 1RM
  • 5 x Push Press

Then a Bergeron Beep Test but scaling it from 7 reps to 5 reps to make it longer, EMOM for as long as possible

  • 5 x Thrusters @ 75lbs
  • 5 x Pullups
  • 5 x Burpees

Results: For the Presses and Front Squats used 115lbs/52kg which turned out to be too heavy… ended up doing 5/5-5/5-3/3+2/2 reps.

When I did the Beep Test last time with the full 7 reps I could only get in 4 minutes of work, so thought lowering the reps will get in a good 10 minutes. This time, 9 rounds plus 11 reps… very intense for the last 3 rounds, took me 15 minutes to cool down.
