Warm up with 3 rounds of:

  • 10 x TRX Rows
  • 10 x Pushups
  • 10 x Reverse Lunges @ round1 45lbs / round2 65lbs / round3 75lbs

Then every 2 minutes for 16 minutes (4 rounds of each) do:

  • First 2 minutes – 8 x Overhead Reverse Lunges @ 95lbs
  • Second 2 minutes – 8 Strict Pullups
  • Third 2 minutes – 8 x Overhead Reverse Lunges @ 95lbs
  • Fourth 2 minutes – 8 Strict Pullups
  • etc.

Then do the same 2 minute model but for:

  • 8 x Strict Handstand Pushups
  • 8 x Strict Toes to Bar

Results:  Stuck to the full reps for all rounds.  No metcon today.

 

Front Squats then Thrusters, Burpees and RRows

Not for time do 5 sets of:

  • 3 x Pause Front Squats (Stop for a 3 second pause at the bottom of the squat.  The idea is to focus on form at the bottom; elbows up, core tight.)

Increase weight each round working up to the weight for the next part (so don’t try and get to a 3 rep max).

Then two sets of the following, rest 3 minutes between sets:

  • 8 x Front Squats @ final weight from above

Then do AMRAP in 12 minutes of:

  • 10 x Burpees over the Barbell
  • 15 x  Thrusters @ 75lbs
  • 20 x Renegade Rows @ 14kg

Results:  For the Front Squats did 65, 95, 115, 125, 135lbs.  For the AMRAP did 3 rounds plus 10 Burpees, 15  Thrusters, 10 RRows.   75lbs Thrusters is a killer weight, heavy enough to be hard but not too heavy that I couldn’t do the first round unbroken.

Every 90 seconds for 9 sets do 5-4-3-2-1-2-3-4-5 of:

  • Bench Press @ Body Weight
  • 5 x Plyometric Pushups after each set is finished
    (i.e. 5BP+5PP, 4BP+5PP, 3BP+5PP, etc.)

Then for time do 15-12-9-6-3 of (taken from CF UTE’s Workout on Jan 24 2017):

  • Power Cleans @ 115lbs/52kg
  • Box Jump Overs
  • Toes-to-Bar
  • 8 x Pullups after each set is finished
    (i.e. 15PC+15BJO+15T2B+8 Pullups)

Result: Used 160lbs/72kg for the Bench Press but couldn’t do more than 3 reps in the last round of 4.   Reduced weight for the last set to 135lbs to finish up.  The metcon was really hard.  Finished in 16:04.
