    (i.e. 5BP+5PP, 4BP+5PP, 3BP+5PP, etc.)

Every 2 minutes for 10 minutes

  • Minutes 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 – 5 x Bench Press @ 165lbs
  • Minutes 2, 6, 10, 14, 18 – Pullup Variations.. for example:  Minute 2 – 5 x Weighted Pullup, Minute 6 – Max Effort Chinup, Minute 10 – Max Effort Pullup, Minute 14 – 5 x Weighted Pullup, Minute 18 – Max Effort Pullup

Then for time do:

  • 30 Calorie Row
  • 30 x Ring Dips
  • 20 x Snatches @ 75lbs
  • 20 x Burpees
  • 10 x Front Squats @ 95lbs
  • 10 x Pull-ups & 10 x Hand-Release Push-ups

Results: For the metcon finished in 16:03.  I don’t think my new rower measures calories like a Concept2.  It took me around 4 minutes to complete the 30 calories which when comparing to other workouts is too long.

Warm up with 100 double unders then 4 rounds of

  • 10 x walking lunges holding a plate overhead

Increase the weight of the plate each set.  Stretch and roll shoulders and back between sets.

Then not for time do 4 sets of

5 x Overhead Squats increasing weight each round

Then for time do 10 rounds of the following:

  • 4 x Pullups with Supinated Grip
  • 8 x Dips
  • 12 x Pushups
  • 16 x Air Squats
  • Rest 1 minute

Results:  Warmed up with 10, 25, 35lbs plates for the walking lunges.  Thought it would help with the squats but was still stiff and weak :-(. For the overhead squats, ended up doing 45, 50, 65, 65lbs.  All were hard.  Metcon in 24:53.
