Dips and Rows then Front Squats and T2B

Not for time

  • 5 x Weighted Dips @ 35lbs
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • 5 x Barbell Bent Rows increasing weight each set

Then take 10 minutes and prepare for next part with 3 rounds of each movement working on mobility and form:

  • 5 x Strict Toes to Bar
  • 5 x Front Squats (start with air squats, then empty bar, then with 115lbs)

Then for time do 3 rounds of

  • 10 x Front Squats @ 115lbs
  • 10 x Toes to Bar

Results:  For the bent rows did: 95lbs, 105lbs, 115lbs, 125lbs, 135lbs.  For the metcon took 5:25.

Cleans and Dips then Deadlifts

I took the first part from CF Invictus.  The idea is to do each clean in the set as an individual movement so that you can put the bar down, reset and then do the next for a total of 4.  This way you can concentrate on form and maybe higher weights than if you did it without rest between the reps.  Increase weights per set.

Every 4 minutes, for 20 minutes (5 sets) of:

  • 1.1.1.1 x Power Clean (rest 10 seconds between each single)
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • Strict Dips x max reps

Then not for time do 5 sets of desdlifts with the following reps per set

  • Set 1 – 5
  • Set 2 – 5
  • Set 3 – 5
  • Set 4 – 5
  • Set 5 – 3

Results:  Disappointed with the cleans since I only got up to 155lbs/70kg.  For the Deadlifts got up to 275lbs/125kg for the last set (all the weight I have right now).

Front Squats then Dips, Thrusters, KB Swings and DUs

Four rounds of the following with a heavy working weight:

  • 6 x Pause Front Squats (pause for a count of 1-2 second at bottom)
  • Rest 3 minutes

Then AMRAP in 15 minutes of

  • 9 x Dips
  • 15 x Thruster @ 45lbs
  • 21 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 28 x Double Unders

Results:  Did the Front Squats with 135lbs.  For the Metcon did 4 rounds plus 38 reps (9 dips, 15 thrusters, 14 KB Swings).

Cleans and Handstand Pushups then Row, Ring Dips and Front Squats

Every 4 minutes for 20 minutes do:

  • 1-1-1-1-1 x Cleans @ 135lbs/60kg, rest for 5-10 seconds between reps
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • Max Reps Handstand Pushups

For time do two rounds of:

  • Row 500 Meters
  • 30 x Ring Dips
  • 20 x Front Squats @ 135lbs/60kg

Rest 4 minutes between sets.

Results:  For HSPU did 13-10-10-7-6.  For the Metcon I forgot what I wrote :-/ and did two 5 minute AMRAPS instead of everything for time.  So ended up doing 38 reps in the first round and then 28 reps in the second round.

Dips and Kettlebells followed by a Tabatta

Every 2 minutes do as many rounds and reps as possible until you cannot complete all reps in a round:

  • 10 x Ring Dips
  • 20 x Kettlebell Swings @ 70lbs/32kg

Then for total calories do 20/10 tabata on the assault bike followed by a second 20/10 tabata for total reps of double unders.

Results:  For the first part, did 6 rounds plus 19 reps (10 dips and 9 KB swings).  For the assault bike, 43 calories.  For the DUs, 154.
