Cleans then Russian Twists and TRX Knee Tucks

Spent time working on my Clean skills after watching this Instagram post.

Then 3 rounds of the following complex

  • 3 x Hang Squat Clean
  • 3 x Squat Clean

Then 5 rounds of

  • 1.1.1 x Squat Clean, pause and reset between reps

Then two 4 minute, 20/10 Tabatas, rest as needed between.

  • Tabata 1 – Russian Twist @ 14kg
  • Tabata 2 – TRX Knee Tucks

Results: Foot movement was good with lighter weights, with heavier weight noticed that only my right foot moved. I also widened my grip so that the bar sat higher in my hip crease rather than on my upper thigh. Power Cleans and Cleans 65-75-85lbs. Squat Cleans 95-115-135-155-160lbs.

Clean and Jerk then Run

Using an empty bar, 3 rounds of

  • 3 x Hang Clean
  • 3 x Front Squat
  • 3 x Strict Press
  • 3 x Squat Clean

Rest as needed between rounds

Take 20 minutes and work up to a heavy

  • 1 x Clean and Jerk

Then 3 rounds for time

  • Run 400m
  • 8 x Clean @ 65% of max from above
  • 8 x Hand Stand Pushups

Results: C&J – 175lbs. Metcon 13:31. Handstand Pushups were really weak, could only manage sets of 3 unbroken. Also, would have been about 60 seconds faster but was attacked by a giant playful Berner Sennenhund who thought running with me would be more fun than going for a walk with his person.

Crossfit Open WOD 20.4 (scaled)

This is the very close to the official scaled version of this WOD.

For time ( 20 minute time cap )

  • 30 x Box Jumps
  • 15 x Clean and Jerk @ 65lbs
  • 30 x Box Jumps
  • 15 x Clean and Jerk @ 95lbs
  • 30 x Box Jumps
  • 10 x Clean and Jerk @ 115lbs
  • 30 x Box Step Ups @ 30lbs
  • 10 x Clean and Jerk @ 135lbs
  • 30 x Box Step Ups @ 30lbs
  • 5 x Clean and Jerk @ 155lbs
  • 30 x Box Step Ups @ 30lbs
  • 5 x Clean and Jerk @ 185lbs

Results: Total 169 reps (ended at 9 x C&J @ 135lbs). Did all power cleans and push press. Tried one Squat Clean but with all the box jumps and step ups, my legs were not much help anymore. Didn’t need a full split jerk at 135lbs. The only difference with the published version of this WOD is that I used a 30lb sandbag for the Step Ups, the actual WOD uses a 20lb medicine ball.
