Macho Man Complex from CF New England Repeat

Repeat of the workout from November of 2019. A twist on the CFNE Benchmark Macho Man WOD.

Take 15-20 minutes build to a heavy complex (one complex is all 3 movements before putting bar down).

  • 3 x Power Clean
  • 3 x Front Squat
  • 3 x Push Jerk/Press

3 rounds for time of

  • 3 sets of the complex above @ 65% of weight reached above
  • Row 250m

Results: For the Heavy Complex – 145lbs. (same as last time). For the Metcon used 95lbs – 10:02 ( 9:56 last time running ). Keep each set of the complex unbroken to avoid the extra clean that you’ll need after putting the bar down.

Strict Press then DUs, OH Reverse Lunges and KBS

Every 3 minutes for 9 minutes

  • 6 x Strict Press

Then every EMOM for 10 minutes

  • 3 x Strict Press @ 80-90% of above

Then 5 rounds for time

  • 10 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 10 x Alternating Overhead Reverse Lunge with Kettlebell @ 14kg (l+r=2 reps)
  • 30 x Double Unders

Results: Part 1 – 110lbs. Part 2 – 85lbs and 95lbs (increased to 95 after 5 reps). Metcon 9:57.

Presses, Cleans and Row

Every 2 minutes for 6 minutes

Then every 2 minutes for 6 minutes

  • 1 x Power Clean
  • 3 x Jerk Press

Then Crossfit New England’s Double Boat Grace, 6 rounds for time

  • 500 Meter Row
  • 10 x Power Clean and Jerk @ 75% of final weight from above

Rest 1 minute between rounds.

Results: Got up to 125lbs for the Clean and Jerk, so used 95lbs for the metcon…31:22 including rests. First round went out very hot 1:50 row all 10 reps unbroken, probably too much. The rest of the rounds settled into a 2:00-2:06 row and 5-3-2 rep scheme on the C&J. Seemed like a nice pace.
