Every 2 minutes for 10 minutes

  • Minutes 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 – 5 x Bench Press @ 165lbs
  • Minutes 2, 6, 10, 14, 18 – Pullup Variations.. for example:  Minute 2 – 5 x Weighted Pullup, Minute 6 – Max Effort Chinup, Minute 10 – Max Effort Pullup, Minute 14 – 5 x Weighted Pullup, Minute 18 – Max Effort Pullup

Then for time do:

  • 30 Calorie Row
  • 30 x Ring Dips
  • 20 x Snatches @ 75lbs
  • 20 x Burpees
  • 10 x Front Squats @ 95lbs
  • 10 x Pull-ups & 10 x Hand-Release Push-ups

Results: For the metcon finished in 16:03.  I don’t think my new rower measures calories like a Concept2.  It took me around 4 minutes to complete the 30 calories which when comparing to other workouts is too long.

Take 25 minutes and work on handstands

  • Press to Headstand
  • Kickup to Handstand
  • Handstand Plate Walks

Then do 5 rounds of

  • 15 second L-Sit Hold
  • Rest 45 seconds

Then do 21-15-9 of (Diane):

  • Deadlifts @ 185lbs
  • Handstand Pushups

Results:  Slight improvement with the handstands, platewalks were more stable, kickups more controlled.  L-sits still need work.  For Diane finished in 9:42.  Compared to last time I did this workout @155lbs it was a big improvement (finished in 11:00 last time).

I have been relying on CrossFit Invictus for WODs lately.  Here is another one which seemed to fit well into my routine.

Take 15-20 minutes to build to today’s 1-RM Power Clean.

Then for time:

  • 10 x Power Cleans
  • 100 x Double-Unders
  • 8 x Power Cleans
  • 80 x Double-Unders
  • 6 x Power Cleans
  • 60 x Double-Unders
  • 4 x Power Cleans
  • 40 x Double-Unders
  • 2 x Power Cleans
  • 20 x Double-Unders

Results:  For the 1RM got up to 170lbs/77kg (5 x 65lbs, 5 x 95, 5 x 115, 3 x 135, 3 x 155, 1 x 165, 1 x 170).  For the metcon, used 135lbs/61kg and finished in 12:53.

  • Rest 45 seconds
