The Chief Benchmark WOD

AMRAP in 3 minutes of the following. Repeat for a total of five sets, resting 60 seconds between sets. Pick up each set where you left off when the last set ended.

  • 3 x Power Cleans @ 125lbs/55kg
  • 6 x Pushups
  • 9 x Air Squats

Results: Did this WOD back in 2017 and completed 18 rounds. This time 18 rounds plus 16 reps. Not bad beating my 51 year old self!

Crossfit Open WOD 25.3

For time, 20 minute time cap…

  • 3 x Wall Walks
  • 50 calorie Row
  • 3 x Wall Walks
  • 25 x Deadlifts @ 83kg/185lbs
  • 3 x Wall Walks
  • 25 x Cleans @ 43kg/95lbs
  • 3 x Wall Walks
  • 25 x Snatches @ 29kg/65lbs
  • 3 x Wall Walks
  • 50 calorie Row

Results: Rx for 55-59 Masters is 5 x Half Wall Walk, which seemed dumb and overly complex so instead just did 3 full WW. Got up to 11 reps on the rower in the last round at the time cap. 22:26 to finish all reps including changing weights.

HSPU, DL, Ring Dips, Power Cleans, Pullups and Thrusters

Crossfit Mainsite WOD from Feb 8…For time (time cap 20 minutes)

  • 30 x Handstand Pushups
  • 30 x Deadlifts @ 185lbs/85kg
  • 30 x Ring Dips
  • 30 x Power Cleans @ 120lbs/55kg
  • 30 x Pullups
  • 30 x Thrusters @ 65lbs/30kg

Results: Completed only 3 Thrusters at the time cap. Guidance says you should be able to complete this WOD in under 15 minutes, so I guess my scaling was too heavy (had only completed 27 Power Cleans at 15 minutes)… should have gone with the women’s Rx weights…155-95-65lbs (70-43-30kg). Maybe next time.

Strict Presses then Cleans and Front Squats
