Comments Off on Kipping Practice with Front Squats then Cleans, Push Press and DUs

Every 2 minutes do 8 rounds of Front Squats with weights and reps shown below.  Also in each set alternate between 5-8 x Kipping Pullups or 5-8 x Kipping Toes to Bar.  So do a set of Front Squats, followed by either Kipping PU or Kipping T2B.  In the next round switch PU or T2B.  Try and focus on efficiency in the kip.

  • 5 @ 40kg
  • 5 @ 50kg
  • 5 @ 60kg
  • 3 @ 70kg
  • 3 @ 70kg
  • 5 @ 60kg
  • 5 @ 50kg
  • 5 @ 40kg

Then do AMRAP in 10 minutes of:

  • 5 x Clean @ 45kg
  • 5 x Push Press @ 45kg
  • 25 x Double Unders

Results: For the AMRAP did exactly 7 rounds.

Every 2 minutes do:

  • 3 x Weighted Pullups @ 15kg
  • 5 x Seated Dumbbell Press @ 16g per hand

Then do 21-15-9 of scaled “Elizabeth”:

  • Cleans @ 50kg (Rx is 60kg)
  • Dips (Rx is Ring Dips)

Cashout with 1 round of:

  • 3 x Wide Pronated Grip Pullups
  • 3 x Wide Supinated Grip Pullups
  • 3 x Narrow Pronated Grip Pullups
  • 3 x Narrow Supinated Grip Pullups

Results: Did metcon in 6:59 (Ave HR 163 / Max HR 174).  Since I think the normal time cap for these types of workouts is 7 minutes, my scaling was just perfect for me.  Lower the weight as needed to see if you can do it in under 7 ( if not finish anyway 🙂 ).

Not for time do 5 sets of the following, rest as needed between sets:

  • 10 x Front Squats @ 50kg

Then EMOM for as long as possible:

  • 1 x Shoulder to Overhead @ 50kg + 1 x Strict Pullup first minute
  • 2 x Shoulder to Overhead @ 50kg + 2 x Strict Pullups second minute
  • 3 x Shoulder to Overhead @ 50kg + 3 x Strict Pullups third minute
  • etc. until you cannot complete the reps in a minute…

Results: EMOM results… 6 rounds plus 7 S2OH and 3 Pullups
