Repeat of the workout from November of 2019. A twist on the CFNE Benchmark Macho Man WOD.

Take 15-20 minutes build to a heavy complex (one complex is all 3 movements before putting bar down).

  • 3 x Power Clean
  • 3 x Front Squat
  • 3 x Push Jerk/Press

3 rounds for time of

  • 3 sets of the complex above @ 65% of weight reached above
  • Row 250m

Results: For the Heavy Complex – 145lbs. (same as last time). For the Metcon used 95lbs – 10:02 ( 9:56 last time running ). Keep each set of the complex unbroken to avoid the extra clean that you’ll need after putting the bar down.

Spend some time focusing on the Burgener Warmup with a Clean grip.

Then every 3 minutes for 18 minutes

  • 2 x Hang Power Clean
  • 1 x Power Clean
  • 2 x Strict Press
  • 1 x Push Press

Then every 3 minutes for 9 minutes

  • 10 x Clean and Press (take a 1-2 second pause between reps to refocus on form)

Then 3 sets of

  • 3 x Bicycles (L+R=1 rep)
  • 3 x Knee Tucks
  • Immediately repeat for 3 rounds

Rest as needed between sets.

Results: Part 1 – 130lbs (barely got my elbows under the bar for the final hang clean). Part 2 – 95lbs. Very happy with this version of clean and press. The 10 reps are challenging, but given the 3 minute time to complete them you can focus on proper form for each individual rep. Had about 90 seconds to rest between sets.
