Superturk then an AMRAP

Not for time 3 rounds of:

Then AMRAP in 10 minutes of (inspired by Crossfit Invictus WOD from 8. December):

  • 5 x Toes to bar
  • 10 x Sandbag Thrusters @ 15kg
  • 15 x Pushups

Result:   No problems with the TGUs.   Next time 18kg.  AMRAP: 6 rounds.  I originally planned for the pushups in the AMRAP to be TRX Pushups (CFI calls for Ring Dips)  but they were too hard and so I had to switch to normal pushups.  Something new to work on.   Even dips would have been challenging after the TGUs and Thrusters.

Double Unders, Pistols, Sumo DLHP, Handstand Pushups

Practice Double Unders

Pistol Squats

  • 3-3-3-3-3

Then perform AMRAP in 7 minutes of:

  • 7 x Sumo Deadlift Highpull @ 40kg (88lbs)
  • 7 x Handstand Pushups

Results:  For the pistols, foot on 5kg plate, 2.5kg counter weight in hands.  AMRAP:  4 rounds plus 7 HSPU.

 

T-Getups, Empower WOD plus L-Sit Hold

A. Turkish Getups with Dumbell

3-3-3 – do 3 on one side then 3 on the other side for one round

B. Then “Empower” WOD… Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 14 minutes of:

  • 9 x Burpees
  • 20 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 20 x Air Squats

C: Then EMOM for 5 minutes hold L-Sit for 15 seconds

Result:  Part A:  10kg/14kg/16kg;  Part B:  6 rounds (54 burpees, 120 Kettlebell Swings, 120 Air Squats); Part C: L-Sit very improved over last week.  Next week can up the first two rounds to 20 seconds.

HS Pushups, Deadlifts, Situps then L-Sits

A. Overhead Squats

5-5-5 @ 35kg

Then

B. Complete as many rounds as possible in 12 minutes of:

  • 5 x Handstand Pushups
  • 10 x Deadlifts @ 50kg
  • 15 x Situps

Then

C. EMOM for 5 minutes hold L-Sit for 15 seconds

Result:  For part B, ended up with 6 rounds (I think, may have been 7).  It might have been better to replace the deadlifts with 24 – 28kg sumo deadlift highpulls with a kettlebell to get a more intense metcon out of it.

Weighted Pullups & Dips then T2B and Burpees

Perform 4 rounds of:

  • 5 x Weighted Pullups with Hammer Grip @ 15kg
  • Rest 60-90 seconds
  • 5 x Weighted Dips @ 25kg
  • Rest 60-90 seconds

Alternating 1 minute work and 1 minute rest perform 8 rounds for max reps Burpees.  So perform both exercises for the first minute, rest for the second minute, repeat for 8 rounds.

  • 8 x Toes to Bar
  • Max reps Burpees

Results:   Pleasantly surprised at how well the dips and pullups went.  Completed full rounds of each.  In part 2 completd 81 Burpees.  Could really feel the abs working on around the 5th toes to bar set, had to make two tries to get the very last T2B rep in.
