5 rounds of

  • 10 x Squat Clean @ 50% 1RM
  • 8 x Squat Clean @ 60%
  • 5 x Squat Clean @ 70%
  • 5 x Squat Clean @ 75%
  • 5 x Squat Clean @ 80%

This part is based on the CF New England WOD from today but modified to match my rower better.  Their version uses a 27-21-15 rep scheme.

AMRAP 4

  • 21 Cal Row
  • 21 x Burpees
  • 21 x Chest to Bar Pullups

Rest 4 minutes then AMRAP 4

  • 15 Cal Row
  • 15 x Burpees
  • 15 x Toes to Bar

Rest 4 minutes then AMRAP 4

  • 9 Cal Row
  • 9 x Burpees
  • 9 x Pullups

Results: I think my 1RM for a Clean is 170lbs but that may be high based on how this WOD went.  Squat Cleans 85-100-115-125-140lbs.  Metcon round 1 – 50 reps, round 2 – 1 round, round 3 – 1 round plus 7 calories.
