Press and Pull, then Sumo DLH, Dynamic PUs, and DUs.

Against two minute running clocks perform 5 rounds of:

  • 5 x Bench Press @ 72kg
  • 10 x Reverse Rows

Then for time perform the following:

  • 5 x Sumo Deadlift Highpull @ 43kg
  • 15 x Dynamic Pushup
  • 45 x Double Unders

Result:  For the Metcon part –  Time 13:35 / HR max=171, ave=160.  For the dynamic pushup I used a pair of small parallelets (sp?) I have to elevate one hand, then just alternated each side up and down for 15 reps.  The Metcon worked out very well for a WOD I just made up since I could not complete the last set of pushups without a break.

Bench Press and Pushups plus Front Squat and T2B

Not for time do 4 rounds of:

  • 6 x Body Weight Bench Press plus
  • 10 x Pushups in different positions
    • 1st round 10 x narrow
    • 2nd round 10 x wide
    • 3rd round 10 x lateral
    • 4th round 10 x regular

The Pushup positions are demonstrated here at GymnasticsWOD.

The for time do 4 rounds of:

  • 10 x Front Squat @ 43kg (95lbs)
  • 10 x Toes to Bar

Result:  Metcon done in 8:15.  Body weight bench press was at 73kg.

Superturk then an AMRAP

Not for time 3 rounds of:

Then AMRAP in 10 minutes of (inspired by Crossfit Invictus WOD from 8. December):

  • 5 x Toes to bar
  • 10 x Sandbag Thrusters @ 15kg
  • 15 x Pushups

Result:   No problems with the TGUs.   Next time 18kg.  AMRAP: 6 rounds.  I originally planned for the pushups in the AMRAP to be TRX Pushups (CFI calls for Ring Dips)  but they were too hard and so I had to switch to normal pushups.  Something new to work on.   Even dips would have been challenging after the TGUs and Thrusters.
