Cleans then KBS and Burpee Box Jumps

Continuing the Invictus WODs for this week, this one taken from October 16.

Every 2 minutes for 20 minutes

  • 2 x Clean Liftoffs (focus on pushing down through the floor, pause just at the knee for each)
  • 1 x Power Clean

Then 5 rounds for time

  • 20 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 10 x Burpee Box Jump Overs

Results:  For the Cleans started at 95lbs got up to 150lbs, repeated 135lbs for about 5 rounds and kept to 150lbs for the last 6 rounds.  Metcon 9:19.

Run, Power Clean, Push Press and Toes to Bar

For time

  • Run 800m
  • 21 x Clean and Press @ 95lbs
  • 21 x Toes to Bar
  • Run 400m
  • 15 x Clean and Press
  • 15 x Toes to Bar
  • Run 200m
  • 9 x Clean and Press
  • 9 x Toes to Bar

Results:  17:24.  My distances were off so only ended up doing about 750m, 300m, 200m.  Good workout though.  To make it longer, do 2 rounds at 400m/15 reps and 3 rounds at 200m/9 reps (that was my original plan but wimped out).  Probably good to drop the weight to 80lbs for the long version.

Bear Complex IV

Redoing the Bear Complex again. Last time was almost exactly one year ago, July 24, 2017 and my best was 110lbs/50kg.

Complete 5 rounds of the following. Record max weight in the round where you are able to do a complete set unbroken (in other words, not putting the bar down until all 7 sets are done).

7 sets of the following series of movements:

  • Power Clean
  • Front Squat
  • Push Press
  • Back Squat
  • Push Press

Cash out: Row 1000m

Results:  65-95-110-115-120(3).  Finally got 115lbs, even if I did stop for an extra breath or two at the bottom of the set. Row in 4:40.
