Warm up with a 1k row.

EMOM for 10 minutes do the following.  Start with spending 10 minutes getting to a good working weight for the Barbell Rows so you can do the 8 reps without breaking and with good form.

  • Even minute – 8 x Bent Barbell Rows
  • Odd minute – 20 second L-Sit  accumulated

For time do 4 rounds of the following.  This is a crossfit.com WOD and has a good time cap of 26-30 minutes, but I set my time cap for 20 minutes since I didn’t have more time.

  • 30 x Push Ups
  • 20 x Front Squat @ 95lbs
  • 20 x Push Press @ 95lbs
  • 30 x Situps

Results: Used 95lbs for the barbell rows.  Metcon was really hard. I ended up only doing 2 rounds plus 70 reps in the 20 minutes.
