Bench Press and Rows then Death by Pullups and Dips

3 rounds of

  • 12 x Bench Press @ 90% of Bodyweight
  • 6 x Single Arm Bent Rows @ 24-32kg

Then Death by Pullups… every 2 minutes until failure

  • Bike 400m
  • 4 x Strict Pullups
  • add 2 Pullups per round, break as needed to get all reps in the 2 minutes

Then Death by Dips… every 2 minutes until failure

  • Row 200m
  • 4 x Dips
  • add 2 Dips per round, break as needed to get all reps in the 2 minutes

Results: Used 140lbs/64kg for the Bench Press. Did the Bent Rows with 24kg for the first round, 32kg for rounds 2 and 3. Metcon 5 rounds plus 6 reps and 5 rounds plus 12 reps. Perfect combos… finished bike and rower in around 40-50 seconds each round. Luckily my bike and rower are right next to my Pullup bar. If they are farther away try subbing with 200m run or 75 double unders.

Back Squats and Front Squats then KBS, Halos, Push Press and Row

4 rounds of

  • 6 x Back Squats @ 85% of 3RM

Then 2 rounds of

Then rotate 30 seconds on/30 seconds off for each movement for 16 minutes (4 rounds of each)

  • Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg
  • Alternating Kettlebell Halos @ 14kg (around left plus around right = 1 rep)
  • Kettlebell Push Press @ 14kg per hand
  • Row

Results: Used 195lbs for the Back Squats, 145lbs for the Front Squats. Didn’t keep track of exact numbers on the metcon, just tried to stay consistent for each round.

Burpees, G2OH and Row

Inspired by the Kody hero WOD from WODwell Crossfit…

Part 1 – AMRAP in 20 minutes

  • 9 x Burpees
  • 8 x Ground to Overhead @ 75lbs

Immediately followed by Part 2 –

  • Row 2000m

Results: Metcon total time 29:41. Part 1 – 10 rounds plus 5 reps. 2k Row in 8:52. Took some time to transition to the rower. Power Snatch for the G2OH.

Crossfit Open WOD 23.1

This is a slightly modified version of the Mens base WOD. AMRAP in 14 minutes of

  • 60 Calorie Row
  • 50 x Toes to Bar
  • 40 x Sandbag Thrusters @ 20kg (Rx is Wall Balls @ 10kg)
  • 30 x Clean @ 135lbs
  • 20 x Pullups (Rx is Muscle Ups)

Results: At 14 minutes 161 reps (got to 11 Cleans). Continued and finished whole WOD in 21:20. Nice one. The weight above is for the normal men, which is what I used. Noticed later that for the 55-59 age group the Rx weight is only 115lbs. Maybe another time I’ll try the lighter weight and include Muscle Ups.
