6 rounds of Back Squats, resting 2-3 minutes per round

  • Set 1 – 5 reps @ 70-75%
  • Set 2 – 3 reps @ 75-80%
  • Set 3 – 1 rep @ 80-85%
  • Set 4 – 5 reps @ 75-80%
  • Set 5 – 3 reps @ 80-85%
  • Set 6 – 1 rep @ 85-90%

AMRAP in 8 minutes of

  • 45 x Thrusters @ 65lbs
  • 45 x Toes to Bar
  • 45 x Cleans @ 65lbs
  • 45 x Pullups

Results:  Back Squats 170-195-220-195-220-230lbs.  Metcon 107 reps (45 -45-17).  Interesting metcon for the games but not very effective for training since the time is too short to get through the whole set (very few online athletes finished all 180 reps).  I’d modify it into two 8 minute AMRAPs with 25 reps per exercise and a 4 minute break between AMRAPs.  Maybe something to try next week.

Took this rep scheme from CF Invictus.  They used Deadlifts and Handstand Pushups which I may use later in the week.

  • 15 x Bench Press
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • 1 Minute x Max reps TRX Reverse Rows (break as needed)
  • Rest 90 seconds
  • 10 x Bench Press
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • 1 Minute x Max reps TRX Reverse Rows (break as needed)
  • Rest 90 seconds
  • 5 x Bench Press
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • 1 Minute x Max reps TRX Reverse Rows (break as needed)
  • Rest 90 seconds

For time

  • 100 x Sandbag Thrusters @ 30lbs
  • Every minute on the minute stop and do 3 x Strict Pullups

Results:  Used 135lbs for all of the Bench Press rounds which is 60-65% of my 1RM.  I think that worked out well.  Metcon 6:47.

Comments Off on Clean and Press Complex then Jackie

5 rounds of

  • 1 x Hang Power Clean
  • 1 x Strict Press
  • 1 x Front Squat
  • 1 x Strict Press
  • 1 x Hang Squat Clean
  • 1 x Push Press

Increase weight per round.

Then Jackie

  • Row 1000m
  • 50 x Thrusters @ 45lbs
  • 50 x Pullups (Rx is 30)

Results:  Complex 95-105-115-125-130lbs.  Jackie 12:27.  Don’t know why I did 50 pullups, number is just stuck in my mind.  12:27 is not bad for the full 1k on my rower and the extra pullups, compared to Dec 15, 2017.
