Games Regional Workout: Event 6 Modified

For time complete 5 rounds of the following within a 16 minute time cap:

  • 25 x Calorie Row
  • 16 x Pullups (Rx is Chest to Bar)
  • 9 x Handstand Pushups (Rx is Deficit HSPU with 10cm/4 inch deficit)

Results: 23:02.  Forgot about the cap and kept going. Was worth it since it is a really good workout.

Only Thrusters and a mini-Fran

Just read an article from Breaking Muscle on how to improve Fran times, so decided to work on Thrusters to practice form since that is really a weakness.

Part A:  Do 5 rounds of the following:

Part B:  Then EMOM for 20 minutes do the following:

  • 5 x Thrusters @ 30kg

Part C:  Then without resting on minute 20 start the following for time:

  • 12 x Thrusters @ 30kg
  • 9 x Strict Pullups
  • 9 x Thrusters @ 30kg
  • 6 x Strict Pullups
  • 6 x Thrusters @ 30kg
  • 3 x Strict Pullups

Results:  For part B, since 1 minute is long and 30kg is not very heavy, took my time and did the thrusters nice and slow concentrating on different things like wrist transition from rack postion to press position, elbows up, timing going up, timing going down, etc.  Part C took 3:30 or so.

Deadlifts and Jackie

Not for time do the following 9 sets of Deadlifts.  Rest as needed between sets.

  • 5 x 60kg
  • 5 x 90kg
  • 3 x 110kg
  • 3 x 110kg
  • 2 x 120kg
  • 2 x 120kg
  • 1 x 125kg
  • 1 x 125kg
  • 5 x 110kg

Then do Jackie:

  • Row 1000m
  • 50 x Thrusters @ 20kg
  • 30 x Pullups

Results:  125kg was a new 1RM.  Not far from my goal of 2 x BW.  For Jackie:  9:52. In April 2014 did it in 9:58.
