Warm up with a 500m row.

Every 2 minutes for 10 minutes

  • Minutes 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 – 5 x Strict Press (increase weight per round)
  • Minutes 2, 6, 10, 14, 18 – 5 x Dumbell Row per Hand

Do AMRAP in 4 minutes of:

  • 500m Row
  • Max Reps Toes to Bar

Rest 4 minutes then AMRAP in 4 minutes of:

  • 500m Row
  • Max Reps Push Press @ 95lbs

Rest 4 minutes then AMRAP in 4 minutes of:

  • 500m Row
  • Max Reps Pullups

Results:  Ended up doing this workout over two days because I was interrupted between the strict presses and the metcon.  For the strict presses could only do 3 reps @ 135lbs for the last two rounds.  For the metcon did 19 T2B, 20 Push Presses, 18 Pullups.

Note: I have a new rowing machine, not a Concept2, so the 500m times may not be comparable.  The best 500m I could manage was 2:06.

EMOM for 9 minutes do the following:

  • Minutes 1, 4, 7: 2 x Wall Walks
  • Minutes 2, 5, 8: 20 second Handstand Hold
  • Minutes 3, 6, 9: 2 x Plate Walks (both hands up onto plate and back down to floor is one rep)

Then do 5 rounds of (also taken from CF Invictus):

  • 2.2.2.2.2 x Strict Press increase weight per round (Rest 10 seconds between doubles)
  • Rest 45 seconds
  • 10-15 x Toes to Bar
  • Rest 90 seconds

Results:  Have been neglecting my handstand work for the past month so part 1 was harder than expected.  Part 2 did 45lbs/15 T2B, 65lbs/15, 75lbs/10, 80lbs/10 and 95lbs/10.  At 10 reps per round 95lbs was hard.

After a warmup, do two rounds of the following resting and working on mobility between rounds:

  • 8 x Front Squats @95lbs
  • 8 x Strict Press @ 95lbs

Then spend 12 – 15 minutes working up to heavy Thrusters with the following rep scheme:

  • 5-5-5-3-3-3

Then do AMRAP in 12 minutes of:

  • 7 x Thrusters @ 70% of max weight from above
  • 14 x GHD Situps (or weighted situps)

Results:  Heaviest Thruster was 115lbs, so I used 85lbs for the AMRAP… 6 rounds plus 6 Thrusters
