Back Squats then a KB Complex

7 rounds to work up to a heavy 1RM

  • 5-5-3-3-2-1-1 x Back Squat

Then every 90 seconds for 15 minutes, using a single Kettlebell, do all movements with one arm then switch to the other arm

  • 6 x Single Kettlebell Swing @ 20kg
  • 3 x Single KB Snatch
  • 2 x Single KB Overhead Reverse Lunge (R+L=1rep)

Results: Back Squats 135-165-185-205-225-235-245lbs/110kg (old 1 RM wass 118kg but this is good enough for now). Metcon took about 1 minute per round so have 30 seconds rest.

Sumo Deadlifts and Handstand Holds then KB Deadlifts, Swings and Thrusters

3 rounds of

  • 8 x Sumo Deadlift @ 155lbs/70kg
  • 30-45 Second Handstand Hold

Then 10 rounds for time

  • 15 x Dual Kettlebell Deadlift @ 14kg per Hand
  • 10 x Dual Kettlebell Swings @ 14kg per Hand
  • 5 x Dual Kettlebell Thruster @ 14kg per Hand

Results: Took some time warming up for the deadlifts since I don’t do them so often. 45 second handstand hold felt like a long time, only could manage 30 seconds at the end. Metcon 19:52.

Cleans, S2OH and Row

Repeat of a workout from Crossfit Invictus which we did on April 15, 2016.

Every 4 minutes, for 32 minutes (8 sets)

  • 5 x Power Cleans (43kg/95lbs)

  • Row 250m

Results: Not as hard as we made it sound last time, had almost 2 minutes rest per round. Of course last week in Crossfit I did 4 rounds of 10 x Strict Press @ 40kg so maybe that helped.
