Comments Off on Back and Front Squats then a KB Finisher

4 sets of

  • 6 x Pause Back Squats @ 80% of 3RM

Then 2 sets of

  • 20 x Front Squats @ 50% of Back Squat Weight above

Then a Kettlebell finisher from Joeller Blades on Instagram..

In a kickstand stance (one leg stepped back behind the other), with a single Kettlebell, AMRAP in 10 minutes

  • 2 x Kettlebell Deadlift
  • 2 x Kettlebell Cleans
  • 2 x Kettlebell Squats
  • 2 x Kettlebell Push Press
  • Repeat on other side

Results: Used 160lbs for the Back Squats. 80lbs for the Front Squats. Metcon used 24kg… 8 rounds (maybe only 7, wasn’t using a counter). 24kg was quite heavy… probably could have used an 18 and had better form.

This is a slightly modified version of the Mens base WOD. AMRAP in 14 minutes of

  • 60 Calorie Row
  • 50 x Toes to Bar
  • 40 x Sandbag Thrusters @ 20kg (Rx is Wall Balls @ 10kg)
  • 30 x Clean @ 135lbs
  • 20 x Pullups (Rx is Muscle Ups)

Results: At 14 minutes 161 reps (got to 11 Cleans). Continued and finished whole WOD in 21:20. Nice one. The weight above is for the normal men, which is what I used. Noticed later that for the 55-59 age group the Rx weight is only 115lbs. Maybe another time I’ll try the lighter weight and include Muscle Ups.
