Macho Man Complex from CF New England Repeat

Repeat of the workout from November of 2019. A twist on the CFNE Benchmark Macho Man WOD.

Take 15-20 minutes build to a heavy complex (one complex is all 3 movements before putting bar down).

  • 3 x Power Clean
  • 3 x Front Squat
  • 3 x Push Jerk/Press

3 rounds for time of

  • 3 sets of the complex above @ 65% of weight reached above
  • Row 250m

Results: For the Heavy Complex – 145lbs. (same as last time). For the Metcon used 95lbs – 10:02 ( 9:56 last time running ). Keep each set of the complex unbroken to avoid the extra clean that you’ll need after putting the bar down.
