Based on the Crossfit Invictus Baseline Interval Test from August 5, 2019. 

Then not for time

Results:  Used Sandbag Thrusters instead of Wallballs. 2:48-3:51-4:37-skipped-4:42-skipped.  Don’t know if I am looking forward to the retest.  Getting the final Thrusters in within the 5 minutes so that you have time to rest is a major push at the end.

Followed the Crossfit Invictus WOD from July 30, 2019.  Metcon was a complete fail.

Results: A. Deadlifts 185-210-230-245-265-285lbs.  B. Needed to scale better or just give up, only managed two rounds neither within the 6 minutes. Scaled to 45lb DBs from the start, but switched to kipping pullups (not C2B) in the second round.  Since I don’t have a Concecpt II scaled my rower to 15 cal in the first round (2:06), 10 cal in the second round (1:33). 7:15, 6:09. Ugh.

Comments Off on L-Sit Progressions then Jackie and some Split Squats

Do the Crossfit Invictus WOD from today, July 19 2019.  After the warmup and before starting Jackie, spend 10 minutes working on L-Sit progressions…

  • 15-20 Pike Single Leg Lift each leg (focus on shoulder and hip position)

Then 3 Sets of

  • 3 x Knee Tuck (focus on shoulder and hip position, try to bring legs up to 45 degrees or more)

Results:  Jackie in 9:51.  Compared to Jan 19, 2017 I improved by around 30 seconds.  Rowed 1k in 3:57.  This is comparable to the speed I was doing it back in CH on the Concept II.

Split squats were interesting.  Used 12kg dumbbell per hand for the weighted part.  Had to break up the dynamic split squats into 8 and 4 reps, really fatigued.
