Bench Press and Weighted Pullups then 100 Wall Balls

Not for time do 5 rounds of:

  • 3 – 5 x Bench Press
  • 3 x Weighted Pullups

Then for time do 100 Wall Balls @ 9kg

Results:  Increased bench press weight up to around 80kg/160lbs (not sure anymore).  For the Pullups used some chains but don’t know what they weighed… guessing around 10kg total.  Wallballs done in 6:52.

Weighted Pullups and Dips, Some Clusters and then L-Sits

For total number of Pullups / Dips, do 3 rounds of:

  • 3 x Weighted Pullups @ 15kg
  • Rest 30 Seconds
  • Max Reps Pullups
  • Rest 30 Seconds
  • 3 x Weighted Dips @ 25kg
  • Rest 30 Seconds
  • Max Reps Dips

Then EMOM for 5 minutes do:

You can either do full cleans or hanging as shown in the video.  With the full it was more comfortable to keep the weights between the legs instead of outside since the weights are so low.

Then do 8 rounds of 15 second work / 45 second rest of L-Sits.

Results:  For the first part, 20 Pullups / 25 Dips (not counting the weighted reps).

Bench Press and Pullups then Burpees, T2B and SDHP

After the killer metcon yesterday decided to just work on strength today.

First do the following every 4 minutes for 24 minutes (6 rounds):

  • 6-8 x Bench Press@ 70kg
  • 3 x Weighted Pullups @ 15kg
  • 3 x Pistol Squats (per leg)

Then do 3 sets of Turkish Getups, 3 reps per set.  Increase weight per set but maintain form all the time.

Results:  The first part worked very well… got all 8 rep on the bench press, pullups also no problem.  For the pistol still needed my heel raised plus 3kg counter weight in my hands, but had plenty of strength. For the last round, was able to use a 8kg kettlebell as counter weight on the side which was doing the work.  Made for a more challenging pistol.  For the TGUs, used 12kg, 16kg and 18kg (but only could manage 2 reps on the last round).

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.
