  • 5 x Single Arm Dumbbell Clean and Press Right @ 40lbs
  • 5 x Dumbbell Snatch Left @ 40lbs
  • 5 x Dumbbell Snatch Right @ 40lbs
  • 10 x Burpees
  • 10 x Dumbbell Front Squat @ 40lbs per hand

Comments Off on Run, Overhead Lunges and V-Ups

Travelling this week, so this short Streetparking WOD which was posted on Instagram was a good choice.  I modified it slightly since I didn’t have any rope to do Double Unders (Rx had 100 DUs instead of the run).

For time 

  • Run 400m/0.25mi
  • 50 x Single Arm Overhead Dumbbell Reverse Lunges (25 right arm overhead /25 left arm overhead) @ 35lbs
  • 50 x V-Ups (or Toes to Bar if you have a bar)
  • 50 x Single Arm Overhead Dumbbell Reverse Lunges
  • Run 400m

Results:  13:24.

Cash in with Max effort Pushups (goal is to do 40 unbroken).

Inspired by Crossfit New England’s WOD from April 2, 2019.

AMRAP in 4 minutes

  • 15 Cal Row ( 21 on a ConceptII )
  • 15 x Power Clean @ 110lbs
  • 15 x Box Jump Overs

Rest 4 minutes then AMRAP in 4 minutes

  • 15 Cal Row
  • 15 x Power Clean @ 95lbs
  • 15 x Box Jump Overs

Rest 4 minutes then AMRAP in 4 minutes

  • 15 Cal Row
  • 15 x Power Clean @ 75lbs
  • 15 x Box Jump Overs

Then 3 rounds

  • 5 x Weighted Dips @ 30lbs

Results:  Cashed in with 50 unbroken pushups.  For the Metcon, it was partly a fail since I couldn’t finish one round as shown above.  Succeeded in getting a high intensity workout though so that was good.  Results:  33-34-42 reps.

15 Cal row on my machine takes 2:00 to 2:15 so didn’t leave a lot of time for the rest.  Next time either go with lower weights for the Power Cleans, e.g. 95-75-65lbs, or change the rep scheme to 9R-15RC-21BJO.

Spend 20 minutes and work on

  • 1 x Power Snatch
  • 1 x Overhead Squat

Work up to a heavy couplet.

Then take 5 minutes and work on Squat Snatches/Snatch Balance.

Then for time 15-12-9 of

  • Power Snatch/Overhead Squats @ 75lbs
  • Toes to Bar

Results:  Power Snatch and OHS went well, got to 95lbs.  Squat Snatches and Snatch Balance were also OK but still need work, used an empty bar.  Was able to do one Squat Snatch at 75lbs.  Metcon 9:36.
