For time

  • Run 800m
  • 21 x Clean and Press @ 95lbs
  • 21 x Toes to Bar
  • Run 400m
  • 15 x Clean and Press
  • 15 x Toes to Bar
  • Run 200m
  • 9 x Clean and Press
  • 9 x Toes to Bar

Results:  17:24.  My distances were off so only ended up doing about 750m, 300m, 200m.  Good workout though.  To make it longer, do 2 rounds at 400m/15 reps and 3 rounds at 200m/9 reps (that was my original plan but wimped out).  Probably good to drop the weight to 80lbs for the long version.

Every 2  minutes for 16 minutes (8 rounds)

  • 3 x Strict Press

Increase weight slowly since there are a lot of rounds ending at a heavy weight in the last set.

Then using 80% of the weight of the last set do 3 sets of

  • 6 x Strict Press

Then do 5 rounds for time

  • 50 x Double Unders
  • 5 x Strict Pullups

Results:  For the Strict Presses 80-95-105-115-125-130-135-140lbs (1 rep only in the last round).  Used 115lbs for the second part.  For the Metcon 7:56.
