Front Squats and Core Work

Only strength training today. Feel like my Core is getting weaker so needs more focus.

Every 2 minutes for 12 minutes

  • 5 x Front Squat @ 50%
  • 3 x Front Squat @ 60%
  • 3 x Front Squat @ 70%
  • 2 x Front Squat @ 80%
  • 1 x Front Squat @ 90%
  • 1 x Front Squat @ 95%

Then 3 rounds, rest as needed between rounds

  • 20 x Abmat Situps
  • 15 x Russian Twist @ 12kg (r+l=1rep)
  • 10 x Strict Toes to Bar
  • 5 x Brabell Rollouts

Results: Front Squat 125-145-165-185-lbs. 195-205lbs (not quite 95%).

Strict Press then DUs, Row, T2B, Situps and Push Press

Every 2 minutes for 12 minutes (6 rounds)

  • 1 x Strict Press

Then for max reps, every 2 minutes for 24 minutes (4 rounds of each), inspired by today’s CF Invictus WOD.

  • Station 1 – Row 10 Calories + 10 x Abmat Situps
  • Station 2 – 50 x Double Unders + 8 x Toes to Bar
  • Station 3 – 15 x Push Press @ 80% of 1RM from above

Results: Strict Press – 115/125/135/140/145/150lbs (failed at 150). 80% of 145lbs comes to 115lbs so used that weight for the metcon. Total reps per round – 10/10, 50/8, 15 – 10/10, 50/8, 15 – 10/9, 50/8, 10 – 10/9, 50/8, 10.

Then an brieviated version of the Crossfit New England WOD from August 15, 2019.

Every 2 minutes for 8 minutes

  • 10 x Dumbbell Rows @ 21kg

Then for time 10-20-30 reps of

  • Dumbbell Clean and Jerk @ 20kg per hand
  • Abmat Situps
  • Run 200m between each round

Results:  Deadlift 155-185-210-240-270-225lbs.  Metcon 16:22. 

Pullups, T2B, Pushups and Thrusters then Situps

Based on the Crossfit Invictus Baseline Interval Test from August 5, 2019

Then not for time

Results:  Used Sandbag Thrusters instead of Wallballs. 2:48-3:51-4:37-skipped-4:42-skipped.  Don’t know if I am looking forward to the retest.  Getting the final Thrusters in within the 5 minutes so that you have time to rest is a major push at the end.
