Complete 5 rounds of the following:

  • 5 x Front Squat @ 55kg
  • 3 x Chest to Bar Pullup with narrow (hands touching together) pronated grip
  • Rest 2 minutes

Then EMOM for 8 minutes, complete the following (based on the CF Toronto August 16 workout):

  • 4 x Handstand Pushups
  • Max Reps Kettlebell Swings for the rest of the minute

Results: Worked up to the 50kg Front Squat by starting with 5 x 30kg, 5 x 40kg, 5 x 50kg.  Pullups are meant to simulate the first stage of a ring muscleup (rings to chest).  For the EMOM part got 79 Kettlebell Swings in.  I did the first 4 minutes with 8 Handstand Pushups but by the 4th minute that took me the whole time so dropped it to 4.  Probably will work better since you can get in more KB swings for a better metcon.

Every 3 minutes for 5 rounds:

Then perform AMRAP in 20 minutes of the following with rep scheme per round as shown:

  • 100-80-60-40-20 Double Unders
  • 50-40-30-20-10 Dumbbell Snatches (each hand is a rep, so in round one do 25 reps per hand) @ 20kg
  • 25-20-15-10-5 Toes to Bar

Results:  The first part worked really well.  3 minutes seems like a long time but the last round of pushups was very hard.  Go heavy with the dips and full range of motion since it is only 3 reps.   This will also give everyone time to check their messages between sets ;-).

For the second part did 2 full rounds plus 60 DUs, 30 Snatches and 3 T2B.  So total… 100-80-60 DUs, 50-40-30 Snatches and 25-20-3 T2B.  Also really hard.

Practice Plate Walks

Then every 2 minutes on the minute for 5 rounds hold handstand for 30 seconds

Then for time do 5 rounds of:

  • 50 x Doubleunders
  • 10 x Dumbell Snatches Right Hand
  • 10 x Dumbell Snatches Left Hand
  • 10 x Burpees

Result:  Best I could manage was 2 sets at a time twice (one set is step up left / step up right / step down left / step down right).  For the hold, started with belly to the wall, then switched to back to the wall.  I think it would be good to also practice dismounts so I don’t have to down the wall at the end after the long hold.  For the Metcon:  15:51, HR ave=160 / max=171
