5 rounds of

  • 5 x Strict Press @ 75% of 1RM
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • 3-5 x Strict L-Sit Pullups
  • Rest 90 seconds

This part is inspired by the Crossfit Open WOD 19.1. I modified the row for my rower so that I could finish each round in around 60-90 seconds. AMRAP in 15 minutes

  • 19 x Sandbag Thrusters @ 30lbs (Should be 19 Wall Balls)
  • 9 Calorie Row (Should be 19 calories)

Results:  Used 105lbs for the Presses.  Metcon 5 rounds plus 25 reps (165 reps total)

The first part of this WOD is inspired by a training plan I saw for Spartan races.  The second part is the Crossfit Mainsite WOD from Feb 16, 2019.

For max reps, cycle through 5 rounds of each, resting 30 seconds between each station.

  • 1 Minute Mountain Climbers
  • 1 Minute Strict Pullups
  • 1 Minute Situps

Then 9 rounds of Deadlift with the following rep scheme

  • 5-5-3-3-3-1-1-1-1

Rest 2 minutes between rounds, increase weight each round.

Results:  120 Mountain Climbers(R+L=1), 54 Pullups, 111 Situps.  Deadlift 135-155-170-185-205-225-255-275-290lbs.

I got 12 unbroken strict pullups earlier this week before a run, but have been stuck at 12 for a while, so trying something new to get to 15. 

EMOM for 20 minutes:

  • 1 x Weighted Pullups (hold 3 seconds at top) @ 30lbs

Then 6 rounds for time

  • 6 x Ring Dips
  • 12 x Renegade Rows
  • 24 x Double Unders

Results:  For the weighted pullups added 5 x weighted situps for rounds 11-20 just to fill the time.  Metcon 7:11.

The scaling is not exactly the same as the one on the Games site, used full pullups here instead of jumping pullups and lighter weights for the snatch and OHS.

Prior to 8:00, complete  3 rounds of:

  • 6 x Pullups
  • 6 x Power Snatch + Overhead Squat @ 45 lb

Then, 3 rounds of:

  • 7 x Pullups
  • 5 x Power Snatch + Overhead Squat @ 65 lb

Prior to 12:00, complete 3 rounds of

  • 8 x Pullups
  • 4 x Power Snatch + Overhead Squat @ 75 lb

Prior to 16:00, complete 3 rounds of:

  • 9 x Pullups
  • 3 x Power Snatch + Overhead Squat @ 95 lb

Prior to 20:00, complete 3 rounds of

  • 10 x Pullups
  • 2 x Power Snatch + Overhead Squat @ 115 lb

Prior to 24:00, complete 3 rounds of:

  • 11 x Pullups
  • 1 x Power Snatch + Overhead Squat @ 135 lb

Results:  Crushed it this time… 9 rounds plus 10 reps (118 reps/16 minutes). Last time finished 7 rounds + 9 reps (93 reps total/12 minutes).  My overhead squat has improved considerably and at 45lbs I can now do a squat snatch so that speeds things up.
