Crossfit Games Workout 15.3

Since the scaled version  Crossfit came up with for this workout was too lame and we actually wanted a workout, we scaled this workout ourselves…

Rx Verion is to perform AMRAP in 14 minutes of:

  • 7 x Muscle Ups
  • 50 x Wall Balls
  • 100 x Double Unders

A better scaled version is to perform AMRAP in 14 minutes of:

  • 7 x Strict Pullups
  • 7 x Ring Dips
  • 50 x Wall Balls
  • 100 x Double Unders

Results:  I did a slightly modified version of the Rx Version… Bar Muscle Ups instead of Ring Muscle Ups.  Still was able to do 2 Rounds plus 3 Muscle Ups (317 reps).

Dumbbell Press then Pull Ups, Lunges and Burpees plus HSPU, Front Squats and Burpees

A. Not for time perform 4 sets of:

  • 8 x Single Arm Press each arm (use only one dumbbell)

  • 10 Burpees Over the Barbell

C.  AMRAP in 7 minutes of:

Crossfit Games Workout 15.1 and 15.1a

15.1 AMRAP in 9 minutes of:

  • 15 x Toes to Bar
  • 10 x Deadlift
  • 5 x Snatch

15.1a Immediately following 15.1 with the same running clock find 1RM in 6 minutes for Clean and Jerk.

Scaled weight for 15.1 is 38kg/25kg. Note that scaled toes to bar is hanging knee raises but we missed that part  :-P….

Results:  C:  132 reps / 70kg.   P:  120 reps / 62.5kg.  J:  122 reps / 45kg.  At first I thought it was not very intense but looking at my heartrate graph I guess I was wrong.  Cool to see that my heartrate climbs after a big lift, since 15 minutes  (plus a few seconds since I started my watch early) was the end.

Weighted Pullups, Dips, then Cindy

Every minute on the minute, perform two 9 minute rounds of  following rep scheme 5-4-3-2-1-2-3-4-5.

  • First round: Weighted Pullups (complete all 9 sets with the above rep scheme before moving to dips)
  • Second round: Weighted Dips

Rest 2 minutes between rounds.

Then do Cindy… AMRAP in 20 minutes of:

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

Results: Both Pullups and Dips @ 15kg.  Cindy;  14 rounds plus 5 Pullups, 10 Pushups and 5 Squats (Totals:  75 Pullups, 150 Pushups, 215 Squats). HR max = 164 / ave = 151…interesting that without kipping pullups heart rate can’t get very high (waiting for arms to recover).
