Warm up with a 1k row.

EMOM for 10 minutes do the following.  Start with spending 10 minutes getting to a good working weight for the Barbell Rows so you can do the 8 reps without breaking and with good form.

  • Even minute – 8 x Bent Barbell Rows
  • Odd minute – 20 second L-Sit  accumulated

For time do 4 rounds of the following.  This is a crossfit.com WOD and has a good time cap of 26-30 minutes, but I set my time cap for 20 minutes since I didn’t have more time.

  • 30 x Push Ups
  • 20 x Front Squat @ 95lbs
  • 20 x Push Press @ 95lbs
  • 30 x Situps

Results: Used 95lbs for the barbell rows.  Metcon was really hard. I ended up only doing 2 rounds plus 70 reps in the 20 minutes.

Another good CF Invictus workout…

Take 15 minutes and work on any Gymnastics movement you like.  Work on form, flexibility, strength.  My choice: Pistol Squats plus L-Sits.

Then do 5 rounds of

  •  3 x Hang Clean + Front Squat + Push Press

Start with empty bar then increase weight each round up to the working weight for the next part.

Then against a 2 minute running clock for each round, do 5 rounds of the following for max number of Burpees, resting 2 minutes between rounds:

  • 3 x Hang Cleans
  • 6 x Push Press
  • 9 x Front Squats
  • Max reps Burpees

Results: For the Metcon used 110lbs/50kg…. total burpees – 18/13/15/13/14 = 73.  The two minute rest went by fast, I felt like I was just getting my heart rate and breathing under control and then the next round started.
