Not for time do 5 rounds of:

  • 5 x Back Squats @ 85kg
  • 3 x Bar Muscle Ups

Then do 4 rounds for time of:

  • Row 250m
  • 10 x Wall Balls
  • 10 x Pullups
  • 10 x Burpees
  • 10 x Ball Slams
  • 10 x Renegade Rows

Results:  Modified version of today’s Fit2Day workout (3 x 10 minute partner AMRAP workout with the same movements split into couplets except I substituted pullups for jump squats).  Since I didn’t have a partner I changed it up a bit tpoget the same amount of workout time but all at once.  My Metcon took 18:55 HR max =  177(!)  / ave = 168.

For the strength and skill part, it took a couple of rounds to get the muscle up timing down again but by the 3rd round was able to do all 3 unbroken.

Kettlebells and Run, then Pullups

Comments Off on Kettlebells and Run, then Pullups

Just read an article about the skill transfer from kettlebell swings to the deadlift so thought it would be good to add in a high rep swing workout for this week.

For time perform:

  • 50 x Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg
  • Run 1 mile / 1500 meters
  • 50 x Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg

Then (since I have been neglecting my pullups) work on different pullup grips, resting between and doing max reps of each:

  • Hammer Grip
  • Narrow Grip Pullup (Hands as close together as possible)
  • Narrow Grip Chinup (Hands as close together as possible)
  • Wide Grip Pullup (Outside shoulders)
  • Regular Pullup (Shoulder width grip)

Results:  I did the first round kettlebell swings unbroken.  The mile I did in 7:34, 4:22 per km.  Forgot to start my watch for the kettlebell swings so don’t have a final time but I think it was around 10 minutes total including run.  For the pullups performed 8-6-6-5-3.

Turkish Getups with Grace (scaled)

Comments Off on Turkish Getups with Grace (scaled)

Not for time (take as much time as needed) do 3 rounds of:

3 x Turkish Getups @ 18kg per side

Then for time do:

30 x Clean and Jerk @ 43kg (95lbs)

Result:  Turkish Getups were good at 18kg!  Occasionally lost the center with the weight but was able to recover. Took plenty of time to recover between sets so that I could complete them unbroken and in fairly good form. Did Grace in 3:53.  HR max=172 / ave=157.
