After a general warm up, begin with 3 rounds of the the following complex, start with an empty/light bar and increase weight per round.

  • 1 x Deadlift
  • 1 x Hang Clean
  • 1 x Strict Press
  • 1 x Back Squat
  • Repeat for a total of 3 consecutive sets

Then for the main WOD, the goal is to cycle through the three exercises to reach a 1RM of each.  Start each round fairly heavy so that for the 3 singles you are already close to the 1RM.  Every 2 minutes for 34 minutes (10 minutes per exercise)…

Not for time do the following ladders.  This is a modified version of  a crossfit.com WOD, but they didn’t specify how to do it so I did it as a triplet, all three exercises per round.  You could also do it as three singlets, do all reps of one before moving to the next.  Increase weight per round.  Rest as needed.

  • 5-5-5-5-5-5-5 x Weighted Dips @ 30lbs/15kg
  • 3-3-2-2-1-1-1 x Bench Press
  • 3-3-2-2-1-1-1 x Turkish Getups

Results:  Bench Press 135-155-185-205(only 1 rep)-195-205-210lbs.  Turkish Getups 12-14-16-18-20-21-24kg.  Rested 30 – 60 seconds between exercises, 1-2 minutes between rounds.
