EMOM of 3 Couplets

EMOM perform 5-4-3-2-1-2-3-4-5 of the first exercise and 5 of the second exercises of following couplets.  For example in minute 1 do 5 Bench+5 Pullups, minute 2 do 4 Bench+ 5 Pullups, minute 3 do 3 Bench+5 Pullups, etc.:

Couplet 1:

  • Bench Press @70kg
  • Strict Pullups

Rest 2 minutes then do Couplet 2:

  • Hanging Cleans @ 50kg
  • Dips

Rest 2 minutes then do Couplet 3:

  • Handstand Pushups
  • Deadlift @ 70kg

Results:  Needed a heavier Bench Press but otherwise worked pretty well.

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.
