Not for time do the following ladders.  This is a modified version of  a crossfit.com WOD, but they didn’t specify how to do it so I did it as a triplet, all three exercises per round.  You could also do it as three singlets, do all reps of one before moving to the next.  Increase weight per round.  Rest as needed.

  • 5-5-5-5-5-5-5 x Weighted Dips @ 30lbs/15kg
  • 3-3-2-2-1-1-1 x Bench Press
  • 3-3-2-2-1-1-1 x Turkish Getups

Results:  Bench Press 135-155-185-205(only 1 rep)-195-205-210lbs.  Turkish Getups 12-14-16-18-20-21-24kg.  Rested 30 – 60 seconds between exercises, 1-2 minutes between rounds.

Inspired by Regionals Event 2 (Linda), but since I only have one bar modified it to be more of a strength workout.

For time do the following (time cap 10 minutes)

  • 10-8-6-4-2 x Deadlifts @ 185lbs
  • 20-16-12-8-4 x Dynamic Plate Pushups

Take 2 minutes to move weights, then for time do (time cap 10 minutes)

  • 10-8-6-4-2 x Bench Press @ 155lbs
  • 14-10-8-4-2 x  Dumbbell Squat Cleans @ 10kg per hand

Take 2 minutes to move weights, then for time do (time cap 10 minutes)

  • 10-8-6-4-2 x Squat Cleans @ 125lbs
  • 20-16-12-8-4 x Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg (total)

Results:  Had a lot of issues with the original version of the WOD so adapted it to work better.  Above is the modified version, below is the original.  With the original, the first part worked well, the second and third parts were too hard and I couldn’t finish even the first round in the 2 minutes, so switching to a time cap made it better.  For the last round finished in 9:19.
