I have been relying on CrossFit Invictus for WODs lately.  Here is another one which seemed to fit well into my routine.

Take 15-20 minutes to build to today’s 1-RM Power Clean.

Then for time:

  • 10 x Power Cleans
  • 100 x Double-Unders
  • 8 x Power Cleans
  • 80 x Double-Unders
  • 6 x Power Cleans
  • 60 x Double-Unders
  • 4 x Power Cleans
  • 40 x Double-Unders
  • 2 x Power Cleans
  • 20 x Double-Unders

Results:  For the 1RM got up to 170lbs/77kg (5 x 65lbs, 5 x 95, 5 x 115, 3 x 135, 3 x 155, 1 x 165, 1 x 170).  For the metcon, used 135lbs/61kg and finished in 12:53.
