Deadlifts, Pushups, Lunges and OH Press

Looks like an interesting workout from CF Invictus …

Every 2 minutes for 40 minutes rotate through the 4 stations (5 rounds of each station). Do all rounds (except at station 2) unbroken and maintain a steady pace to complete all reps in 30 seconds.

  • Station 1 – 6 – 8 x Deadlift
  • Station 2 – Max Pushups in 60 seconds
  • Station 3 – 20 x Alternating Reverse Lunge (total) with Kettlebell in Goblet Hold
  • Station 4 – 6 – 8 x Dumbbell Overhead Press

For station 1 and 4, increase weights each round if you can do all 8 reps

Results: 1.  135/155/170/185/205lbs (updated on Nov17 since my original entries were wrong)  2. 43/33/32/31/28 reps  4.  14/16/18/18/18kg  Next time start at a higher Deadlift weight since even at 205lbs was able to complete the 8.

Dumbbell Press, TRX Reverse Rows then Push Press, OH Reverse Lunges and Burpees

Taken from the CF Invictus workout from November 3.

Warm up with

  • 3 x Turkish Getups per Arm @ 14kg

Then four sets of

  • 8-10 x Single Arm Dumbbell Press per Arm @ 16kg
  • Rest 30 Seconds
  • 8 x TRX Reverse Rows
  • Rest 2 minutes

Then AMRAP in 10 minutes of

  • 10 x Push Press @ 65lbs
  • 10 x Overhead Reverse Lung @ 65lbs
  • 10 x Burpees over the Barbell

Results:   For the metcon, 4 rounds plus 27 reps.

Sandbags

As part of the warm up, do

  • 200 x Double Unders

AMRAP in 20 minutes of

  • 10 x Sandbag Ground to Overhead @ 30lbs/15kg
  • 10 x Sandbag Reverse Lunges @ 30lbs (each leg is one rep, switch bag from one shoulder to the other between every lunge)
  • 10 x Sandbag Deadlift @ 55lbs/25kg

Then not for time do

Results:  A bit disappointing, couldn’t get a good rhythm since my lower back was fatigued after about round 4.  Ended up with 9 rounds plus 10 reps.  Since someone once told me that back pain with deadlifts is due to not keeping your core tight, added the Tuck Ups at the end.  Surprisingly, it relieved the back pain better than stretching.  Maye try warming up next time with the Tuck Ups.

Handstand Hold and L-Hang then HSPU, Pullups and Reverse Lunges

EMOM for 10 minutes

  • Even minute – 30 second Handstand Hold
  • Odd minute – 30 second L-Hang

Then 3 rounds for time

  • 10 x Handstand Pushups
  • 20 x Pullups
  • 30 x Reverse Lunges with Dumbbells @ 20kg per hand (total / 1 leg = 1 rep)

Results:  For the EMOM had to bend knees in the 4th round.  For the metcon finished in 13:19.
