Comments Off on Strict Presses then a Clean, Front Squat and Push Press Complex

3 rounds of

  • 8 x Strict Press @ 50% of 1RM

Then 5 rounds

  • 5 x Strict Press @ 65% of 1RM

Then inspired by Crossfit Games Semifinals Event 3 from Australia… every 3 minutes for 15 minutes work up to a heavy complex of

  • 3 x Clean
  • 2 x Front Squat
  • 1 x Push Press/Jerk

Then accumulate

  • 50 x Zombie Squats @ 65lbs

Results: Forgot to enter anything in this after the workout, so going from 2 week old memory… Strict Presses 75 and 95lbs. Complex finished at 150lbs (remember I was really happy with what I achieved).

Every 3 minutes for 15 minutes, work up to a heavy

  • 6 x Back Squat

Then, inspired by CF New England’s WOD from 18. May…

AMRAP in 5 minutes

  • Buy in: 20 x Toes to Bar (only on first round)
  • 12 x Front Squat @ 95lbs
  • 10 x Burpees

Rest 5 minutes, then AMRAP in 5 minutes

  • Buy in: 20 x Toes to Bar
  • 9 x Front Squat @ 115lbs
  • 10 x Burpees

Rest 5 minutes, then AMRAP in 5 minutes

  • Buy in: 20 x Toes to Bar
  • 6 x Front Squat @ 135lbs
  • 10 x Burpees

Results: Back Squats 135-165-185-200-210lbs. Metcon 3 rounds-2 rounds plus 14 preps-2 rounds. Originally planned to do back squats throughout the workout but only have one rack, so no place to put the bar during the T2B. In this case took the bar from the floor for the front squats since the weight is reasonable.
