Inspired by Regionals Event 2 (Linda), but since I only have one bar modified it to be more of a strength workout.

For time do the following (time cap 10 minutes)

  • 10-8-6-4-2 x Deadlifts @ 185lbs
  • 20-16-12-8-4 x Dynamic Plate Pushups

Take 2 minutes to move weights, then for time do (time cap 10 minutes)

  • 10-8-6-4-2 x Bench Press @ 155lbs
  • 14-10-8-4-2 x  Dumbbell Squat Cleans @ 10kg per hand

Take 2 minutes to move weights, then for time do (time cap 10 minutes)

  • 10-8-6-4-2 x Squat Cleans @ 125lbs
  • 20-16-12-8-4 x Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg (total)

Results:  Had a lot of issues with the original version of the WOD so adapted it to work better.  Above is the modified version, below is the original.  With the original, the first part worked well, the second and third parts were too hard and I couldn’t finish even the first round in the 2 minutes, so switching to a time cap made it better.  For the last round finished in 9:19.

For time do 2 rounds of

  • 10 x Snatches @ 95lbs
  • 12 x Burpees

Then with the clock still running 2 rounds of:

  • 10 x Snatches @ 65lbs
  • 12 x Burpees

Time cap: 9 minutes.

Then do 3 rounds of

  • 2 x Turkish Getups @ 21kg.

Results: For the Metcon I think I scaled the workout perfectly since I finished in 8:41 with a major burpee sprint at the end to get in under the 9 minute time cap.  For the TGUs warmed up with 2 x 10, 16 and 18kg.
