20 Minute Chelsea

Normal Chelsea is an EMOM for 30 minutes.  I had only limited time so only reduced that to 20 minutes (more like Cindy).  My goal was to get in some high volume Pullups.

So, do EMOM for 20 minutes:

  • 5 x Pullups
  • 10 x Pushups
  • 15 x Air Squats

Results:  Kept within the 1 minute for 12 rounds, then just continued until the end non-stop not really counting any more.   I think I got another 4-5 rounds in so 60-65 pullups total.

Handstand Work then some Ladders

Take 10 minutes and practice Handstand Plate Walks for a couple of rounds. Harder than it looks still.

Then perform 3 rounds of the following:

  • 3 x Wall Walks with 5 Second Hold against the wall (count one-one thousand, two-one thousand, etc.)

Then EMOM perform a TRX Reverse Row Ladder starting at 6 reps and adding 2 per round until you cannot complete all reps in a round.

  • 6-8-10… x TRX Row

Rest 1 minute then EMOM perform a Pushup Ladder starting at 6 reps:

  • 6-8-10… x TRX Atomic Pushups

Rest 1 minute then EMOM perform a Toes to Bar Ladder starting at 4 reps:

  • 4-6-8… x Toes to Bar

Results:  TRX Row – 5 rounds plus 10, TRX APU – 6 rounds plus 9, T2B – 4 rounds plus 10.  Last time we did the EMOM part was in March and I got in 5 rounds plus 6 T2B so going down hill (or the Atomic Pushups had an impact.  In March we did normal Pushups.

Lunge/Squat Complex then Deadlifts and HSPU

Every 2 minutes for 10 minutes (5 rounds) perform the following complex with bar in the front rack position:

  • 1 x Forward Lunge Right Leg @ 50kg
  • 1 x Forward Lunge Left Leg @ 50kg
  • 1 x Reverse Lunge Right Leg @ 50kg
  • 1 x Reverse Lunge Left Leg @ 50kg
  • 4 x Front Squat @ 50kg

Then do AMRAP in 8 minutes of:

  • 8 x Deadlifts @ 70kg
  • 8 x Handstand Pushups

Results: For the AMRAP – 5 rounds plus 8 Deadlifts.

Core Work then Cleans, S2OH, Front Squats and Burpees

Not for time work on the Core (taken from UTE Crossfit’s WOD from today):

  • 10 x TGU (5 x each side)
  • 20 x Knee tucks
  • 30 x Hollow Rocks
  • 40 x Alternate leg V-up
  • 50 x Russian Twist w/weight (total)

Against a two-minute running clock for 5 sets, complete as many reps as possible of (taken from CFI WOD from November 19):

  • 3 x Hang Cleans @ 43kg
  • 6 x Shoulder to Overhead
  • 9 x Front Squats
  • Burpees x Max Reps

Rest 2 minutes between sets.

Results:  Great mashup of workouts.  For Core work, used 24kg KB for TGU, 8kg KB for Russian Twists.  For the metcon part did a total of 163 reps (0r 173, I lost count in the first round :-P).  Breakdown by round was 33(or 43), 36, 33, 30, 31.

500 Kettlebell Swings and some Dips

  • 10 x Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg
  • 2 x Dips, rest 30-60 seconds
  • 15 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 4 x Dips, rest 30-60 seconds
  • 25 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 6 x Dips, rest 30-60 seconds
