Bench Press, Deadlifts, Dips and a Core Tabata

Not for time do Bench Presses in the following format.  Rest 2 minutes between sets.

  • 5 x  @ 40kg
  • 5 x @ 50kg
  • 5 x @ 60kg
  • 3 x @ 80kg
  • 2 x @ 80kg
  • 1 x @ 80kg
  • 8 x @ 60kg

AMRAP in 7 minutes

  • 7 Deadlifts @ 80kg
  • 7 Dips

Then 4 minute (8 rounds) of 20/10 TABATA of alternating

  • Superman Hold
  • Hollow Hold

Results:  AMRAP – 6 rounds plus 7 deadlifts.

Pullups and Bench then a Core Building GWOD

EMOM for 10 Minutes

  • Odd Minute:  5 x Weighted Pullup
  • Even Minute:  5 x Body Weight Bench Press

Then a gymnastics WOD for quality:

  • 50 Hollow Rocks
  • 1 Minute Handstand Hold
  • 50 Superman Rocks
  • 1 Minute L-Sit

Rest as necessary.

Results:  Could only finish 4 Pullups in the minute for the last 2 rounds, used 15kg.  For the L-Sit, broke it into 6 x 10sec/30sec rounds.  For the Handstand hold did 2 x 30 sec holds.

Lunges, Bench Press, DB Rows, Deadlifts and Situps

A.  Every 2 minutes, for 10 minutes (5 sets):

  • 20 x  Lunges @ 20kg per hand

B. Every 3 minutes, for 15 minutes (5 sets):

  • 4-6 x Bench Press @ 70kg

C.  Three sets of the following:

  • 8 x Single-Arm DB Row @ 20kg
    8 x Weighted Situps @ 10kg
  • 8 x Deadlift @ 60kg

Results:  The format was taken from CF Invictus with some slight modifications.  Part C can also be done resting 45 seconds between sets but I forgot and just did all three rounds in a row.   Part C took 5 minutes, but time is not very important in this one.  Don’t underestimate the Lunges… holding so much weight in each hand for 20 reps kills your upper body and your forearms.

Part A:  Perform 5 rounds of:

  • Wall Walk to 15 second Handstand Hold (belly to the wall)

Result:  For part C:  6:53
