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.
