Not for time, perform the following:

  • 5 x Front Squats @ 40kg
  • 5 x FS @ 50kg
  • 5 x FS @ 53kg
  • 5 x FS @ 60kg
  • 5 x FS @ 63kg

Then, for time do 1 round of:

  • 21 x Burpees
  • 15 x Thrusters @ 43kg
  • 9 x Strict Pullups
  • 200 x Double Unders
  • 9 x Strict Pullups
  • 15 x Thrusters
  • 21 x Burpees

Results:  Front Squats went so well, tried to make 68kg (bodyweight) but was unable to clean that weight at the end of the round.  For the Metcon 14:58 HR max = 175 / ave = 165. Brutal, thrusters suck on the wrists (funny that the front squats above did not).  Graph below is interesting… long plateau in the middle must be the double unders and the plateau at the end the final 21 burpees.

Not for time do 5 rounds of:

  • 5 x Back Squats @ 85kg
  • 3 x Bar Muscle Ups

Then do 4 rounds for time of:

  • Row 250m
  • 10 x Wall Balls
  • 10 x Pullups
  • 10 x Burpees
  • 10 x Ball Slams
  • 10 x Renegade Rows

Results:  Modified version of today’s Fit2Day workout (3 x 10 minute partner AMRAP workout with the same movements split into couplets except I substituted pullups for jump squats).  Since I didn’t have a partner I changed it up a bit tpoget the same amount of workout time but all at once.  My Metcon took 18:55 HR max =  177(!)  / ave = 168.

For the strength and skill part, it took a couple of rounds to get the muscle up timing down again but by the 3rd round was able to do all 3 unbroken.

Bench and Reverse Rows then Deadlift, Burpees, V-Ups

Do 7 rounds of:

  • 5-5-5-5-5-3-3 x Bodyweight Benchpress
  • Rest 15 seconds
  • 5 x Reverse Rows
  • Rest 30 seconds

Then AMRAP 14 minutes of the following (taken from Mercy Rule at Atomic CF):

  • 2 x Bodyweight Deadlifts
    4 x Burpees
    6 x V-Ups (or Situps)
  • 3 x Deadlifts
    6 x Burpees
    9 x V-Ups
  • 4 x Deadlifts
    8 x Burpees
    12 x V-Ups

etc… (+1, +2, +3)

Results:  For the AMRAP part finished 5 rounds plus 7 Deadlifts, 14 Burpees and 18 V-Ups(of 21).  V-Ups were definitely the limiting factor in this workout.  If you want a more Metcon type of workout just do basic situps.  This would maintain a quicker pace and get your heartrate up higher.  In this case my HR was max=  167/ ave = 146 … the graph shows how my heart rate dropped during the V-Ups and then picked up again during the burpees.

EMOM alternate:

Then perform as many rounds and reps as possible in 14 minutes of:

  • 7 x Dumbell Snatch @ 21kg Left Hand
  • 7 x Burpees
  • 7 x Dumbell Snatch @ 21kg Right Hand
  • 7 x V-Ups

Results: For the metcon part completed exactly 7 rounds.  V-Ups were not pretty but manageable.

Modified Almond Joy

Comments Off on Modified Almond Joy

Since I have already done front squats this week and wanted to get in some HSPU, decided to do a modified version of Atomic Crossfit’s Almond Joy  …

Warm-up 200 Double Unders

Then for time complete:

  • EMOM – 4 Deficit Handstand Pushups
  • Spend the rest of the minute doing sit-ups until you hit 100 Sit-ups

Move directly into…

  • EMOM – 4 Renegade Rows @ 18kg per hand
  • Spend the rest of the minute doing Burpees until you reach 100 Burpees

Result: 22:48.  Great combination of strength work plus a Metcon rolled into one.  Part 1 was good and completed as described. Part 2 was more of a problem to get the weight and reps right.  Started with 20kg/4 reps per hand, dropped to 18kg after two rounds sine I felt I was losing form badly,  then for the last couple of rounds dropped to 4 reps total (2 per hand).   Was whipped by the end anyway.

Next time: Start with 18kg and keep the 4 reps per hand format.
