Not for time, Split Squats in the following scheme:

  • 5 x @ 30Kg (per leg, total of 10 reps)
  • 5 x @ 40Kg
  • 3 x @ 50kg
  • 3 x @ 50Kg
  • 3 x @ 50Kg

Then immediately after the last set do 21 Front Squats @ 30Kg

Rest as needed and then do AMRAP in 12 minutes of:

  • 10 x Man Makers @ 12Kg
  • 10 x Reverse Rows
  • 10 x V-Ups

Results:  For the Metcon – 3 rounds plus 2 Man Makers (first round did 14Kg MM but thought it was too hard).

Not for time do Front Squats. Between each set do 5 Toes to Bar.

  • 5-5-5-5-5 @ 55kg

AMRAP in 15 minutes:

  • 7 x Burpees
  • 7 x Dumbell Thrusters @ 14kg per hand
  • 7 x TRX Rows or Reverse Rows

Results:  AMRAP:  10 rounds exactly (did reverse rows with feet on box).  This was supposed to be part 1 of a partner WOD from CF Invictus. Maybe something to keep for a Saturday workout with the group… part 2 is:

AMRAP in 15 minutes:

  • 9 x Box Jump Overs
  • 9 x Push Press
  • 9 x Dips

Bench and Reverse Rows then Deadlift, Burpees, V-Ups

Do 7 rounds of:

  • 5-5-5-5-5-3-3 x Bodyweight Benchpress
  • Rest 15 seconds
  • 5 x Reverse Rows
  • Rest 30 seconds

Then AMRAP 14 minutes of the following (taken from Mercy Rule at Atomic CF):

  • 2 x Bodyweight Deadlifts
    4 x Burpees
    6 x V-Ups (or Situps)
  • 3 x Deadlifts
    6 x Burpees
    9 x V-Ups
  • 4 x Deadlifts
    8 x Burpees
    12 x V-Ups

etc… (+1, +2, +3)

Results:  For the AMRAP part finished 5 rounds plus 7 Deadlifts, 14 Burpees and 18 V-Ups(of 21).  V-Ups were definitely the limiting factor in this workout.  If you want a more Metcon type of workout just do basic situps.  This would maintain a quicker pace and get your heartrate up higher.  In this case my HR was max=  167/ ave = 146 … the graph shows how my heart rate dropped during the V-Ups and then picked up again during the burpees.

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.
