Back Squats, Good Mornings and Hip Thrusts

Taken from the RepWerks WOD on Instagram from Dec 24.

10 sets of

  • 3 x Back Squat @ 85% of 1RM
  • Rest 90 seconds

Then EMOM for 8 minutes

  • 5-6 x Heavy Barbell Good Mornings (adjust weight as needed)

Then Accumulate

  • 50 x Hip Thrusts @ same weight as Back Squat above

Results: Used 195lbs/89kg for the Back Squat and Hip Thrusts. Got up to 95lbs for the Good Mornings. Back Squats were good, but probably too heavy for the Hip Thrusts, not sure I got my full range of motion. Good Mornings were painful on my back after the Back Squats and since I rarely do them weighted, I wasn’t sure what ‘heavy’ was, so I started with an empty bar and just kept adding.

E2MOM for 12 minutes (5 rounds)

  • 2 x Weighted Pullups @ 20kg
  • 4 x Deficit Handstand Pushups

  • 1-2-3…17-181-9-20 x Situps

Results: Bench Press 135-155-165-170-175-185lbs (new 5RM). Way underestimated the time for the metcon… I guess if I’d have thought about it it comes to 200 reps of each! Metcon 21:51.
