Every 2 minutes for 6 minutes (three sets) do

  • 6-8 x Bench Press @ Bodyweight (currently 165lbx/75kg)
  • 6-8 x Strict Pull ups

Then every 2 minutes for 6 minutes do

  • 6-8 x Back Squat@ Bodyweight
  • 6-8 x Strict Toes to Bar

Then every 2 minutes for 6 minutes do

  • 6-8 x Deadlift @ Bodyweight
  • 6-8 x Dips

Between each round take 8-10 minutes to setup for the next set and to warm up for the lift (Bench Press, Back Squat, Deadlift). Warmed up for each of the lifts with 5 rounds of 5 reps of increasing weight to get up to the working weight.

Results:  Did all 8 reps for each set, except in the first round, so could have gone up with the weight for the Back Squats and Deadlifts. Nice workout after the killer workout from last weekend :-).

  • Set 3 – 3 reps @ 165lbs
  • Set 4 – 2 reps @ 185lbs
  • Set 5 – 1 rep @ 205lbs
  • Set 6 – Max Unbroken Reps @ 185lbs (one full breathing cycle at the top of the lift – exhale, inhale, brace and descend – once more rest is taken at the top, the set is over)

Then for time do 21, 15 and 9 of:

  • Hang Squat Cleans @ 95 lbs
  • Bar-Facing Burpees Over the Barbell

Results:  Max reps at 185lbs: 9 (maybe 10).  Metcon in 10:50 (but Lisa disturbed me halfway through so is only a guess).
