Every 2 minutes for 10 minutes

  • Minutes 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 – 5 x Bench Press @ 165lbs
  • Minutes 2, 6, 10, 14, 18 – Pullup Variations.. for example:  Minute 2 – 5 x Weighted Pullup, Minute 6 – Max Effort Chinup, Minute 10 – Max Effort Pullup, Minute 14 – 5 x Weighted Pullup, Minute 18 – Max Effort Pullup

Then for time do:

  • 30 Calorie Row
  • 30 x Ring Dips
  • 20 x Snatches @ 75lbs
  • 20 x Burpees
  • 10 x Front Squats @ 95lbs
  • 10 x Pull-ups & 10 x Hand-Release Push-ups

Results: For the metcon finished in 16:03.  I don’t think my new rower measures calories like a Concept2.  It took me around 4 minutes to complete the 30 calories which when comparing to other workouts is too long.

Comments Off on Cleans and Handstand Pushups then Row, Ring Dips and Front Squats

Every 4 minutes for 20 minutes do:

  • 1-1-1-1-1 x Cleans @ 135lbs/60kg, rest for 5-10 seconds between reps
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • Max Reps Handstand Pushups

For time do two rounds of:

  • Row 500 Meters
  • 30 x Ring Dips
  • 20 x Front Squats @ 135lbs/60kg

Rest 4 minutes between sets.

Results:  For HSPU did 13-10-10-7-6.  For the Metcon I forgot what I wrote :-/ and did two 5 minute AMRAPS instead of everything for time.  So ended up doing 38 reps in the first round and then 28 reps in the second round.
