    "Heavy" Legs:
    * OHS (95,115,135) x10 - could go heavier, but I don't want to drop the weight with no bumper plates.

    Lost count on all, but I know I did more than what I posted above. I should have done more, but doing this by yourself, it is easy to rest longer than you should...

    Push-ups the hardest. Pull-ups not that hard, but I didn't have any chalk. Hands were slipping. Legs were on fire during the squats after I lifted legs.

  • CF Invictus Performance WOD - 012012 Workout

    A. Four sets of: Bench Press x 4-6 reps @ 20X1 Rest 90 seconds
    135x8, 145x6, 155x6, 155x4, 145x6

    Pull-Ups x Max reps Rest 90 seconds
    Here I focused on lowering slowly, as well as the kip - didn't really focus too much on reps. This needs to be skill work at least one day a week now!

    B. For time: 24/16 kg
    Kettlebell Swings x 50 reps Hand-Release Push-Ups x 25 reps
    Kettlebell Swings x 40 reps Hand-Release Push-Ups x 20 reps
    Kettlebell Swings x 30 reps Hand-Release Push-Ups x 15 reps
    Kettlebell Swings x 20 reps Hand-Release Push-Ups x 10 reps
    Kettlebell Swings x 10 reps Hand-Release Push-Ups x 5 reps
    Here, I only used 20kg, as we don't have a 24kg kettlebell at our gym. For the first set, I was able to do 20 consecutive, but then broke it down into sets of 10. For the Push-Ups, I tried to maintain sets of 10 at the very least.

    I was able to get through all of it, I just had to really pace myself.

  • Holleyman Workout

    30 rounds for time of:
    5 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball
    3 Handstand push-ups
    225 pound Power clean, 1 rep

    Because my Power Cleans are terrible, I scaled this down to 135lb. As for Handstand Push-Ups, I'm still not beyond handstands, so I scaled this down to 3 Pike Push-Ups.

    I did 15 sets, and then decided to work on my Power Cleans some more. I worked up to 165lb with my Cleans, dropped to 115 and did 5x5, then dropped to 95 and did a few more sets of 5. Really worked on my technique, was pretty smoked by the end.

    Handstands and push-ups need to be a staple of either warm-ups or skill work from this point forward.
