EMOM for 10 minutes

  • 1 x Deadlift @ 240lbs/110kg (1.5 x Bodyweight for me)

Then do 3 rounds for max reps of

  • 60 seconds Sandbag Thrusters
  • 60 seconds rest
  • 60 seconds Power Cleans @ 110lbs/50kg
  • 60 seconds rest
  • 60 seconds Kettlebell Swings
  • 60 seconds rest
  • 60 seconds Burpees
  • 60 seconds rest

Results: Deadlifts were a bit too easy.  Should have probably gone with 265lbs/120kg (next time).  For the metcon 95/85/77 reps.

Every 2 minutes for 10 minutes

5 x Bodyweight Bench Press

For time

  • 50 x Walls Balls/Sandbag Thrusters @ 30lbs
  • 40 x Box Jumps
  • 30 x Deadlifts @ 135lbs
  • 20 x Front Squats @ 125lbs
  • 10 x Power Cleans @ 125lbs

Results:  Bench Press @ 165lbs.  In the metcon had to drop the weight for the Squats and Cleans (originally were 135lbs) since my back was really fatigued, still really hard … 14:38.  Note to self… include some core activation exercises in the warmup (mtn climbers, knee tucks, situps, etc.)
