Took this rep scheme from CF Invictus.  They used Deadlifts and Handstand Pushups which I may use later in the week.

  • 15 x Bench Press
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • 1 Minute x Max reps TRX Reverse Rows (break as needed)
  • Rest 90 seconds
  • 10 x Bench Press
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • 1 Minute x Max reps TRX Reverse Rows (break as needed)
  • Rest 90 seconds
  • 5 x Bench Press
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • 1 Minute x Max reps TRX Reverse Rows (break as needed)
  • Rest 90 seconds

For time

  • 100 x Sandbag Thrusters @ 30lbs
  • Every minute on the minute stop and do 3 x Strict Pullups

Results:  Used 135lbs for all of the Bench Press rounds which is 60-65% of my 1RM.  I think that worked out well.  Metcon 6:47.
