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:
Rest 2 minutes then do Couplet 2:
Rest 2 minutes then do Couplet 3:
Results: Needed a heavier Bench Press but otherwise worked pretty well.
Do 8 rounds of the following, rest 2 minutes between rounds:
Then complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
Results: Great combination… For the touch and go toes to bar I tried to go as fast as possible touching the bar and then the ground for the 8 reps, so need a bar which lets you touch your feet to the ground, probably at the same height as for jumping pullups (mid-forearm when standing flat on the ground). For the second part competed 7 full rounds, put the bar down as needed.
Not for time do Bench Presses in the following format. Rest 2 minutes between sets.
AMRAP in 7 minutes
Then 4 minute (8 rounds) of 20/10 TABATA of alternating
Results: AMRAP – 6 rounds plus 7 deadlifts.
EMOM perform 6 rounds of the following sets (one round is all three sets for a total of 18 sets/18 minutes).
First minute (4th minute, 7th minute, etc.) –
Second minute (5th minute, 8th minute, etc.) –
Third minute (6th minute, 9th minute, etc.) –
Repeat for the 6 rounds…
Results: Made this one up on my own and it seems like it worked really well. Got the last pushup in the last round with 3 seconds to go, had to even breakup the handstand pushups. Be careful and try and use more core with the burpees and less arm or your pushups will be really hard. Right combination of keeping good controlled form since you have a whole minute, but also a good metcon because the volumes are high enough to get the blood pumping.
A. Every 2 minutes, for 10 minutes (5 sets):
B. Every 3 minutes, for 15 minutes (5 sets):
C. Three sets of the following:
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.
