Another good CF Invictus workout…

Take 15 minutes and work on any Gymnastics movement you like.  Work on form, flexibility, strength.  My choice: Pistol Squats plus L-Sits.

Then do 5 rounds of

  •  3 x Hang Clean + Front Squat + Push Press

Start with empty bar then increase weight each round up to the working weight for the next part.

Then against a 2 minute running clock for each round, do 5 rounds of the following for max number of Burpees, resting 2 minutes between rounds:

  • 3 x Hang Cleans
  • 6 x Push Press
  • 9 x Front Squats
  • Max reps Burpees

Results: For the Metcon used 110lbs/50kg…. total burpees – 18/13/15/13/14 = 73.  The two minute rest went by fast, I felt like I was just getting my heart rate and breathing under control and then the next round started.

Every 2 minutes, for 12 minutes (6 sets) do Back Squats for max unbroken reps in set 6:

  • Set 1 – 5 reps @ 115lbs
  • Set 2 – 4 reps @ 135lbs
  • Set 3 – 3 reps @ 165lbs
  • Set 4 – 2 reps @ 185lbs
  • Set 5 – 1 rep @ 205lbs
  • Set 6 – Max Unbroken Reps @ 185lbs (one full breathing cycle at the top of the lift – exhale, inhale, brace and descend – once more rest is taken at the top, the set is over)

Then for time do 21, 15 and 9 of:

  • Hang Squat Cleans @ 95 lbs
  • Bar-Facing Burpees Over the Barbell

Results:  Max reps at 185lbs: 9 (maybe 10).  Metcon in 10:50 (but Lisa disturbed me halfway through so is only a guess).
