Classic Clean, Press, Burpee Workout

AMRAP in 20 minutes of:

  • 5 x Power Clean @ 43kg
  • 5 x Push Press @ 43kg
  • 5 x Burpees

Results: I’ve done this workout twice before back in 2014 (11 sets plus 10 reps and 14 sets plus 10 reps) but those times used only 40kg and did some strength work before.  This time as shown above did exactly 15 sets (pushed hard to get the last 5 burpees).

Toes to Bar and Push Press then Jackie

Every minute on the minute for 10 minutes do the following. Practice doing an efficient unbroken set.

  • 5-6 x Kipping Toes to Bar (work on form, smooth, rythmic kips)

Then not for time take 15-20 minutes to work up to a heavy:

  • 5 x Push Press

Then for time do “Jackie”

  • Row 1000m
  • 50 x Thrusters @ 45lbs
  • 30 x Pullups

Results:  For the Push Press ended up at 125lbs/56kg.  Jackie in 10:24.  Rowed 1k in 4:18 which is over 30sec better than two weeks ago.

Front Squats, Handstand Hold, L-Sits then Push Presses, Lunges and Burpees

Every 2 minutes for 18 minutes do

Then do AMRAP in 10 minutes of

  • 10 x Push Presses (65lbs)
  • 10 x Alternating Overhead Reverse Lunges (65lbs)
  • 10 x Burpees Over the Barbell

Results:  I was only able to do the first part because I was interrupted. For the front squats, my max was 200lbs so used 150lbst.

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

  • Max Reps Push Press @ 95lbs

Rest 4 minutes then AMRAP in 4 minutes of:

  • 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.
