C&J then Two 8 Minute AMRAPS

Take 15 – 20 minutes and work up to a heavy Clean and Jerk.

Part A – Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 8 minutes of:

  • 40 x Double-Unders
  • 20 x Hand-Release Push-Ups
  • 10 x Pull-Ups

Rest 4 minutes, and then…

Part B – Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 8 minutes of:

  • 20 x Box Jumps (24″/20″)
  • 15 x Toes to Bar
  • 10 x Ring Dips

Results:  For the C&J got up to 150lbs (68kg).  Part A did 3 rounds plus 48 reps.  Part B did 2 rounds and 25 reps.

Row, Clean and Jerk

Not for time do 3 rounds of the folloeing @ 30kg/65lb, work on mobility for 1-2 minutes between rounds:

  • 3 x Power Clean
  • 3 x Front Squat
  • 3 x Strict Press
  • 3 x Squat Clean and Jerk

Then every 5 minutes, for 30 minutes (6 sets) for max load successfully lifted (CF Invictus workout):

  • Row 500 Meters
  • 5 x Clean and Jerk

Results: Chose to stick to 110lb/50kg for all rounds instead of increasing weight per round. Good workout, really hard on the forearms since my rowing machine has only one setting, 10.

Clean Complex then Toes to Bar, Box Jumps, Kettlebell Swings and a Rowing Tabata

Every 3 minutes for 18 minutes do the following complex, increase weight per round:

  • 3 x Power Cleans
  • 3 x Front Squats
  • 3 x Squat Cleans

Then EMOM for 15 minutes do

  • 8 x Toes to Bar
  • 10 x Burpee Box Jumps
  • 15 x Kettlebell Swings

Cash out with  one 20/10 rowing tabata (8 rounds for a total of 4 minutes).

Results: All in all I thought this was a good workout.  For the complex, got up to 125lbs (65, 75, 80, 95, 115, 125).

Double Unders, Clean and Jerk, then AMRAP of HS Pushups, G2OH and Step Ups

I have decided to add a single exercise section to one or two workouts per week for high volume tasks so we can work on stamina.  I noticed that if I don’t do high volume  double unders, rowing, kettlebell swings, kipping pullups, etc. for a couple of weeks I really have problems during workouts.  Will also help to work on form when you can focus on just the one exercise.

Part A: For highest set of unbroken reps do 3 rounds of:

  • 100 x Double Unders
  • Rest 60 seconds

Part B: Then do 3 rounds of

  • 1.1.1.1.1 x Clean and Jerk @ 80% of strict press max (rest 10 seconds between reps)

Part C: Then do AMRAP in 15 minutes of

  • 5 x Handstand Pushups
  • 10 x Sandbag (30lbs/15kg) Ground to Overhead
  • 5 x Box Step Ups with Sandbag (30lbs/15kg)on Left Shoulder
  • 5 x Box Step Ups with Sandbag (30lbs/15kg)on Right Shoulder

Results:  Part A got 100 unbroken in the second round :).   For part B used 115lbs/52kg which was not too heavy and was good for practicing form.  For part C did 6 rounds plus 16 reps.
