Comments Off on Strict Press and Weighted Pullups then Row, Push Press and Pullups

Warm up with a 500m row.

Every 2 minutes for 10 minutes

  • Minutes 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 – 5 x Strict Press (increase weight per round)
  • Minutes 2, 6, 10, 14, 18 – 5 x Dumbell Row per Hand

Do AMRAP in 4 minutes of:

  • 500m Row
  • Max Reps Toes to Bar

Rest 4 minutes then AMRAP in 4 minutes of:

  • 500m Row
  • Max Reps Push Press @ 95lbs

Rest 4 minutes then AMRAP in 4 minutes of:

  • 500m Row
  • Max Reps Pullups

Results:  Ended up doing this workout over two days because I was interrupted between the strict presses and the metcon.  For the strict presses could only do 3 reps @ 135lbs for the last two rounds.  For the metcon did 19 T2B, 20 Push Presses, 18 Pullups.

Note: I have a new rowing machine, not a Concept2, so the 500m times may not be comparable.  The best 500m I could manage was 2:06.
