Four sets of

  • 8 x Back Squats
  • Rest 45 seconds after each leg
  • 8 x Dumbbell Bent Rows per Hand
  • Rest 60 seconds

Build weight per round.

For time

  • 1000m Row
  • 75 x Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg
  • 50 x Goblet Squats @ 24kg
  • 75 x Kettlebell Swings @ 24kg

Row, Power Cleans and Box Jump Overs then Dips

Cash in with Max effort Pushups (goal is to do 40 unbroken).

Inspired by Crossfit New England’s WOD from April 2, 2019.

AMRAP in 4 minutes

  • 15 Cal Row ( 21 on a ConceptII )
  • 15 x Power Clean @ 110lbs
  • 15 x Box Jump Overs

Rest 4 minutes then AMRAP in 4 minutes

  • 15 Cal Row
  • 15 x Power Clean @ 95lbs
  • 15 x Box Jump Overs

Rest 4 minutes then AMRAP in 4 minutes

  • 15 Cal Row
  • 15 x Power Clean @ 75lbs
  • 15 x Box Jump Overs

Then 3 rounds

  • 5 x Weighted Dips @ 30lbs

Results:  Cashed in with 50 unbroken pushups.  For the Metcon, it was partly a fail since I couldn’t finish one round as shown above.  Succeeded in getting a high intensity workout though so that was good.  Results:  33-34-42 reps.

15 Cal row on my machine takes 2:00 to 2:15 so didn’t leave a lot of time for the rest.  Next time either go with lower weights for the Power Cleans, e.g. 95-75-65lbs, or change the rep scheme to 9R-15RC-21BJO.

Strict Presses and Pullups the Thrusters and Row

5 rounds of

  • 5 x Strict Press @ 75% of 1RM
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • 3-5 x Strict L-Sit Pullups
  • Rest 90 seconds

This part is inspired by the Crossfit Open WOD 19.1. I modified the row for my rower so that I could finish each round in around 60-90 seconds. AMRAP in 15 minutes

  • 19 x Sandbag Thrusters @ 30lbs (Should be 19 Wall Balls)
  • 9 Calorie Row (Should be 19 calories)

Results:  Used 105lbs for the Presses.  Metcon 5 rounds plus 25 reps (165 reps total) 

Back Squat then Snatches, OHS, Power Cleans, Row and DUs

Take 15 minutes and work up to a heavy

  • 3 x Front Squat

Then AMRAP in 5 minutes

Note increased weight for C&P in last round.  16kg was too light.

Results:  For the Front Squats got up to 195lbs.  For the metcon – Snatch 30 reps, C&P 28 reps, Snatch plus C&P 24 reps.  Row took me on around 2 minutes.  For the last round I put the two weights side by side, then just did snatch left then right, switched and the did the C&P left then right and so on until the time ran out.
