Christine then Dealifts, Box Jumps and Planks

A good fit from CF Invictus for what I wanted to do today (WOD from March 30, 2018)

Christine – 3 rounds for time

  • 500m Row
  • 12 x Deadlift @ Bodyweight
  • 21 x Box Jumps @ 24 inches

Then 3 rounds of

  • 6-8 x Single Leg Deadlift
  • Rest 60 seconds
  • 6-8 x Glute Bridge
  • Rest 60 seconds
  • 45 second side plank each side
  • Rest 60 seconds

Results:  For Christine 14:18.  Not bad compared to last time where I did Christine in 13:58 and this time it was after just one week back from a 2 week vacation.  Compare to workout from January 30, 2017.   For the deadlift used a 95lbs/45kg barbell.  For the glut bridge used a 45lbs plate on my torso since the 95lbs barbell didn’t really work for me.

Crossfit Open WOD 18.1

18.1 is… AMRAP in 20 minutes of

  • 8 x Toes to Bar
  • 5 x Dumbbell Clean and Press Right Arm @ 21kg (Rx is 22.5kg)
  • 5 x Dumbbell Clean and Press Left Arm @ 21kg (Rx is 22.5kg)
  • Row 14 Calories

Results: 5 rounds plus 18 reps (178 reps total).  Since I don’t have a Concept II rower and only have a 21kg dumbbell, can’t really compare.

HSPU and T2B then V-Ups, Burpees, Thrusters and Rowing

Every 90 seconds for 18 minutes

  • Even – 4 – 6 x Handstand Pushups
  • Odd – 6 – 8 x Strict Toes to Bar

Then 4 x 20/10 tabatas (4 minutes/8 rounds each tabata), rest 2 minutes between tabatas:

  • Tabata 1 – V-Ups
  • Tabata 2 – Sandbag Thrusters @ 30lbs
  • Tabata 3 – Burpees
  • Tabata 4 – Row

Stick to one exercise per 4 minute tabata, then switch to the next for the next 4 mintue tabata, etc.

Results:  Forgot to count the tabatas, generally tried to keep rep count constant per round.  Worked good for all but the V-Ups, started with 9 reps and ended with 6.  Thrusters kept to a steady 8 reps.  Burpees 6.  Rowed total of 20 calories or so.

Rowing Lumberjack 20

The standard Lumberjack 20 calls for a 400m run instead of rowing.

For time:

  • 20 x Deadlifts @ 165lbs/75kg
  • Row 500 meters
  • 20 x Kettlebell Swings
  • Row 500 meters
  • 20 x Front Squats @ 115lbs
  • Row 500 meters
  • 20 x Burpees
  • Row 500 meters
  • 20 x Pullups
  • Row 500 meters
  • 20 x Box Jumps
  • Row 500 meters
  • 20 x Dumbbell Squat Cleans @ 12kg per hand
  • Row 500 meters

Results:  Nice long stamina workout to get the week started…. 33:18.

Back Squats then Row, Double Unders and Ring Dips

Three sets of

  • 8 x Back Squats @ Bodyweight
  • Rest 3 minutes

Then set the clock for 3, 5 minute rounds and against each 5 minute running clock

  • Row 10 calories (adjust so it takes about 90 seoncds)
  • 50 x Double Unders
  • 20 x Ring Dips
  • Rest in remaining time

Record time to complete all reps in each round.

Results: Used 165lbs for the Back Squats.  Metcon 3:45, 4:10, 4:45.
