Deadlift Prep

Took this one from Crossfit Invictus with some slight modifications because I would like to do some heavy deadlifts on Sunday so wanted to get some prep work in for grip strength and basic conditioning.

Part A:  Every two minutes, for 6 minutes (3 sets):

  • 20 x Dumbbell Lunges @ 20kg per hand

Go heavy the final few should not be performed without struggle.

Part B.1: Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 5 minutes of:

  • 20 x Double Unders
  • 10 x Air Squats

Rest 1 minute

Part B.2: Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 5 minutes of:

  • 5 x Deadlifts @ 70kg
  • 10 x Burpees

Rest 1 minute

Part B.3: Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 5 minutes of:

  • 5 x Toes to Bar
  • 10 x Kettlebell Swings

Results:  B.1 – 8 rounds plus 20 DUs and 3 Squats.  B.2 – 4 rounds plus 5 DLs.  B.3 – 4 rounds plus 5 T2B and 5 KB Swings.  Max HR during B: 171.

  • Even Minute, 5 x Dumbbell Snatch Right Hand @ 26kg
  • Odd Minute, 5 x Dumbbell Snatch Left Hand @ 26kg

Part C: Then for time do 100 Dumbbell Snatches @ 20kg, EMOM do 5 Burpees.

Results:  Forgot to start my watch for Part B so no idea how long it took.  For Part C – 8:50.

Heavy Pullups then AMRAP of KB Swings, Man Makers and V-Ups

First start with heavy Weighted Pullups, rest as needed between sets.  Start from full dead hang (count one-onethousand, two-onethousand) before pulling.

  • 1-1-1-1-1 @ 25kg

AMRAP in 15 minutes of:

  • 20 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 15 x Man Makers @ 12kg
  • 10 x V-Ups

Results: For the AMRAP 2 rounds plus 20 KB Swings, 15 Man Makers.

Bench Press, Snatch and L-Sit

Spend 10 minutes working on overhead squats and related mobility.

For time do:

  • 30 x Hanging Power Snatch @ 30kg

Then not for time perform 3 rounds of:

  • 8 x Bench Press @ 73kg

Then EMOM for 8 minutes do 10/50 L-Sit.

Results:  Kind of a random day.  Started with the plan to do Overhead Squats and Snatches but my OHS are so bad I gave up on that.  Snatches in 2:32.  Could only do 7 Bench Press in the last round though.
