Wasn’t excited about the workout in the program, so decided to make my own. 

Deadlift

  • Set 1 – 5 x @ 55% of 1RM
  • Set 2 – 3 x @ 65%
  • Set 3 to 8 – 1 x adding 5% per set

Rest 2 minutes between sets.

Then “The Chief” with Pullups.  Against a 3 minute running clock AMRAP of

  • 3 x Strict Pullups
  • 6 x Push Ups
  • 9 x Air Squats

Repeat for a total of 5 sets, picking up where you left off for each. Rest 60 seconds between sets.

Three sets of

  • 15 x Tuck Up to V-Up Complex
  • Rest 45 seconds
  • 12-15 x Barbell Rollouts
  • Rest 45 seconds

Results:  Deadlifts 135-155-205-195-220-240-255-275.  Metcon 22 rounds plus 2 Pullups.

6 rounds of Back Squats, resting 2-3 minutes per round

  • Set 1 – 5 reps @ 70-75%
  • Set 2 – 3 reps @ 75-80%
  • Set 3 – 1 rep @ 80-85%
  • Set 4 – 5 reps @ 75-80%
  • Set 5 – 3 reps @ 80-85%
  • Set 6 – 1 rep @ 85-90%

AMRAP in 8 minutes of

  • 45 x Thrusters @ 65lbs
  • 45 x Toes to Bar
  • 45 x Cleans @ 65lbs
  • 45 x Pullups

Results:  Back Squats 170-195-220-195-220-230lbs.  Metcon 107 reps (45 -45-17).  Interesting metcon for the games but not very effective for training since the time is too short to get through the whole set (very few online athletes finished all 180 reps).  I’d modify it into two 8 minute AMRAPs with 25 reps per exercise and a 4 minute break between AMRAPs.  Maybe something to try next week.
