Weighted Pullups and Dips followed by Deadlifts and Bupees

EMOM for 10 minutes perform the following:

  • Even Minute – 5 x Weighted Pullups @ 15kg
  • Odd Minute – 5 x Weighted Dips @ 25kg

Then do 200 Double Unders immediately followed by AMRAP in 9 minutes of:

  • 5 x Bodyweight Deadlifts (70kg in my case)
  • 7 x Bar Facing Burpees

Results:  For the EMOM I was only able to do 5 unbroken pullups for the first two rounds.  Could only do 4 reps in rounds 4 and 5 before the minute ran out.  Need to work on that…  Dips were OK but ROM felt limited after the workout on Sunday (shoulders were very tight).

For the AMRAP – 8 rounds plus 1 Deadlift… interesting issue with the AMRAP and breathing during the deadlift since after the DUs and then Burpees every round it is hard to hold your breath for each of the 5 lifts.

EMOM of Dips and Lunges, then Renegades, Burpees, KB Swings and DUs

A.  Every moniute on the minute for 12 minutes (4 sets)

  • 3 x Weighted Dips @ 25kg
  • At top of the next minute 30 seconds max rep Dips
  • At top of the next minute 10 x Overhead Reverse Lunges @ 30kg (5 per leg)

B. For time do the following

  • 10 x Renegade Rows
  • 20 x Burpees
  • 30 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 200 x Double Unders (was 400 but wimped out)

Results:   Part A was a great workout, one to do again.  Part B: 6:46.

Weighted Pullups, Dips, then Cindy

Every minute on the minute, perform two 9 minute rounds of  following rep scheme 5-4-3-2-1-2-3-4-5.

  • First round: Weighted Pullups (complete all 9 sets with the above rep scheme before moving to dips)
  • Second round: Weighted Dips

Rest 2 minutes between rounds.

Then do Cindy… AMRAP in 20 minutes of:

  • 5 x Pullups
  • 10 x Pushups
  • 15 x Air Squats

Results: Both Pullups and Dips @ 15kg.  Cindy;  14 rounds plus 5 Pullups, 10 Pushups and 5 Squats (Totals:  75 Pullups, 150 Pushups, 215 Squats). HR max = 164 / ave = 151…interesting that without kipping pullups heart rate can’t get very high (waiting for arms to recover).

Weighted Pullups/Dips plus DU/Lunge/Snatch Metcon

Set clock for five, two-minute rounds in each round perform:

  • 3 x weighted Pullups @ 15kg
  • Rest 20 seconds
  • 5 x weighted Dips @ 15kg

Then for time do three rounds of:

  • 30 x Double Unders
  • 20 x Lunges with 25kg Sandbag in Front Rack position
  • 10 x Dumbell Snatch @ 20kg per hand

Result:  For the metcon – 10:15.  Double unders were still slow, could only string 3-5 together at a time.  Note:  Lunges and Snatches art total reps, so 10 lunges per leg and 5 snatches per hand.
