  • 3 x @ 60%
  • 2 x @ 70%
  • 2 x @ 80%
  • 1 x @ 85%
  • 1 x @ 90%
  • 1 x @ 95%
  • 1 x @ 95-100%

Then for time, Jackie

  • Row 1000m
  • 50 x Thrusters @ Empty Bar/45lbs
  • 30 x Pullups

Results: Back Squat to up to 235lbs (135-150-160-175-190-205-215-225-235lbs). Used 125lbs. Jackie 8:45. By far my best time (previous was around 9:45). 1000m row in 4:02. Thrusters done in 2 sets of 30 and 20 reps.

Pike Lifts then Dumbbell Curls and Presses

Take 15 minutes to work on Pike lifts from a Parallel Bar with rounds in the following format

  • 3 x Pike Lift Left Leg
  • 3 x Pike Lift Right Leg
  • 3 x Pike Lift

Then, inspired by the Popey WOD from WodWell/BeauBlackwood on Instagram, 3 rounds without putting the Dumbbells down throughout each round… 21-15 9 reps of

  • Curls
  • Strict Press
  • Lateral Raises
  • Hammer Curls
  • Upright Rows
  • Push Press
  • Curls

Then one standard 4 minute Tabata (8 rounds, 20 sec work/ 10 sec rest)

  • Row

Results: Used my low 5cm parallel bars and could only do the single leg pike lifts. Had to sit on the floor for the normal pike lift. Metcon is way outside something I normally do, so used 8kg Dumbbells. Still was a struggle with those last reps. Tabata 50 Cal with damper at 6.

Deadlifts, Row, KBS and T2B

Every 2 minutes for 10 minutes work up to a heavy

  • 5 x Deadlift

Then every 3 minutes for 9 minutes

  • 10 x Deadlift @ 65-75%% from above

Then AMRAP in 12 minutes (modified version of Invictus Boston’s Partner WOD from 13.12.2020)

  • 10 Cal Row
  • 8 x Kettlebell Swings @ 32kg
  • 6 x Toes to Bar

Results: Focusing on form so kept Deadlifts to only 100kg/220lbs. Part 2 used 155lbs. AMRAP 6 rounds plus 1 rep. After this workout and yesterday’s pullups and dips my hands are in need of a break.

CFNE “Math is Hard”

Have a new Concept2 rower 🙂 so had to find a WOD to use it. This one is aken from the Ladies Performance version of the “Math is Hard” CF New England WOD...
