Not for time do 5 rounds of:

  • 5 x Back Squats @ 85kg
  • 3 x Bar Muscle Ups

Then do 4 rounds for time of:

  • Row 250m
  • 10 x Wall Balls
  • 10 x Pullups
  • 10 x Burpees
  • 10 x Ball Slams
  • 10 x Renegade Rows

Results:  Modified version of today’s Fit2Day workout (3 x 10 minute partner AMRAP workout with the same movements split into couplets except I substituted pullups for jump squats).  Since I didn’t have a partner I changed it up a bit tpoget the same amount of workout time but all at once.  My Metcon took 18:55 HR max =  177(!)  / ave = 168.

For the strength and skill part, it took a couple of rounds to get the muscle up timing down again but by the 3rd round was able to do all 3 unbroken.

Kettlebells and Run, then Pullups

Just read an article about the skill transfer from kettlebell swings to the deadlift so thought it would be good to add in a high rep swing workout for this week.

For time perform:

  • 50 x Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg
  • Run 1 mile / 1500 meters
  • 50 x Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg

Then (since I have been neglecting my pullups) work on different pullup grips, resting between and doing max reps of each:

  • Hammer Grip
  • Narrow Grip Pullup (Hands as close together as possible)
  • Narrow Grip Chinup (Hands as close together as possible)
  • Wide Grip Pullup (Outside shoulders)
  • Regular Pullup (Shoulder width grip)

Results:  I did the first round kettlebell swings unbroken.  The mile I did in 7:34, 4:22 per km.  Forgot to start my watch for the kettlebell swings so don’t have a final time but I think it was around 10 minutes total including run.  For the pullups performed 8-6-6-5-3.
