Christine then Dealifts, Box Jumps and Planks

A good fit from CF Invictus for what I wanted to do today (WOD from March 30, 2018)

Christine – 3 rounds for time

  • 500m Row
  • 12 x Deadlift @ Bodyweight
  • 21 x Box Jumps @ 24 inches

Then 3 rounds of

  • 6-8 x Single Leg Deadlift
  • Rest 60 seconds
  • 6-8 x Glute Bridge
  • Rest 60 seconds
  • 45 second side plank each side
  • Rest 60 seconds

Results:  For Christine 14:18.  Not bad compared to last time where I did Christine in 13:58 and this time it was after just one week back from a 2 week vacation.  Compare to workout from January 30, 2017.   For the deadlift used a 95lbs/45kg barbell.  For the glut bridge used a 45lbs plate on my torso since the 95lbs barbell didn’t really work for me.

Toes to Bar and Waiter Carry then Crossfit Open WOD 18.5

3 rounds of

  • 5 x Strict Toes to Bar
  • 50ft/15m Kettlebell Waiter Carry @ 24kg Left Hand

  • Rest 1 minute

AMRAP in 7 minutes of

  • 3 x Thrusters @ 100lbs
  • 3 x Chest to Bar Pullups
  • 6 x Thrusters
  • 6 x C2B Pullups
  • 9 x Thrusters
  • 9 x C2B Pullups
  • etc. adding 3 reps per round until the 20 minutes are up.

Results: Chose to do the Rx version of this WOD.  Thrusters were easier than I thought they would be.  Ended up with 60 reps (completed round of 12 – 2697th place overall for Rx 50-54 year olds :)).
