Double Unders, Clean and Jerk, then AMRAP of HS Pushups, G2OH and Step Ups

I have decided to add a single exercise section to one or two workouts per week for high volume tasks so we can work on stamina.  I noticed that if I don’t do high volume  double unders, rowing, kettlebell swings, kipping pullups, etc. for a couple of weeks I really have problems during workouts.  Will also help to work on form when you can focus on just the one exercise.

Part A: For highest set of unbroken reps do 3 rounds of:

  • 100 x Double Unders
  • Rest 60 seconds

Part B: Then do 3 rounds of

  • 1.1.1.1.1 x Clean and Jerk @ 80% of strict press max (rest 10 seconds between reps)

Part C: Then do AMRAP in 15 minutes of

  • 5 x Handstand Pushups
  • 10 x Sandbag (30lbs/15kg) Ground to Overhead
  • 5 x Box Step Ups with Sandbag (30lbs/15kg)on Left Shoulder
  • 5 x Box Step Ups with Sandbag (30lbs/15kg)on Right Shoulder

Results:  Part A got 100 unbroken in the second round :).   For part B used 115lbs/52kg which was not too heavy and was good for practicing form.  For part C did 6 rounds plus 16 reps.

Deadlifts then Double Unders and Toes to Bar

Every 3 minutes for 15 minutes (5 rounds) do

  • 5 x Deadlifts increase weight each round

Then for time do:

  • 100 x Double Unders
  • 20 x Toes to Bar
  • 80 x Double Unders
  • 16 x Toes to Bar
  • 60 x Double Unders
  • 12 x Toes to Bar
  • 40 x Double Unders
  • 8 x Toes to bar
  • 20 x Double Unders
  • 4 x Toes to Bar
  • 10 x Double Unders
  • 2 x Toes to Bar

Results: For the Deadlifts did 165, 205, 225, 265, 275. The last set was more like 1.1.1.1.1 with 15-20 second pauses between lifts.  For the metcon part completely messed it up and did 20, 18, 16, 14 toes to bar before figured out that I would not get to the end :-P.  Finished my version in 13:00.

Snatches and Core Work

A light day due to time constraints.

Take 20 minutes and work up to a 3 rep max of Power Snatches.

Then not for time do 3 rounds of:

  • 10 x Weighted Situps
  • 10 x Russian Twist

Then not for time:

  • 30 x Barbell Rollouts with 95lbs/43kg on the bar

Results:  For the Snatches did 65lbs, 75lbs, 80lbs, 95lbs, 115lbs/52kg.  For the last round had to break between reps so not technically a 3 rep max.
