EMOM for 12 minutes

  • Even Minute – 3 x Deficit Handstand Pushups with 25lbs plate
  • Odd Minute – 3 x Weighted Pullups @ 30lbs

Then, taken from CF New England WOD from May 13, 3 rounds

  • Run 800m
  • 40 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 40 x Sandbag Thrusters @ 30lbs

Results:  Metcon 26:15.  Running WODs always kill me.  Didn’t expect it to take so long.  800m in 3:36 in the first round, 4:15 in the last.

8 rounds for time

  • 4 x Kneel-Stand with 50lbs Sandbag on Left Shoulder
  • 4 x Kneel-Stand with 50lbs Sandbag on Right Shoulder
  • 8 x Renegade Rows @ 14kg
  • 16 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 32 x Double Unders

Results:  For the kneel-stand, alternate legs for each rep.  Put the Sandbag on the floor to switch shoulders.  Definitely feel your core working with 50lbs on just one shoulder.  Probably should have gone heavier with the RRs, they were the easiest part.  Metcon 22:32.

5 rounds of

  • 5 x Strict Press @ 75% of 1RM
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • 3-5 x Strict L-Sit Pullups
  • Rest 90 seconds

This part is inspired by the Crossfit Open WOD 19.1. I modified the row for my rower so that I could finish each round in around 60-90 seconds. AMRAP in 15 minutes

  • 19 x Sandbag Thrusters @ 30lbs (Should be 19 Wall Balls)
  • 9 Calorie Row (Should be 19 calories)

Results:  Used 105lbs for the Presses.  Metcon 5 rounds plus 25 reps (165 reps total)
