Alternating sets between Weighted Dips & Weighted Pullups (2 workouts combined) Workout
I did 2 different WODs together.
1 day weighted pullups & another weighted dips.
I did alternating sets of the same rep count for heavy weighted dips & heavy weighted pullups:
Sets were as follows: 3, 2,2,2, 1,1,1,1,1
Dips: 3 x 55 Pullups: 3 x 45
2 x 70 2 x 55
2 x 80 2 x 65
2 x 90 2 x 70
1 x 100 1 x 75
1 x 105(fail - super close) 1 x 80
1 x 100 1 x 80
1 x 100 1 x 80
1 x 105 1 x 85 (fail - super close not quite over bar
I tried another but still not over)
Some sets are hard to tell if you're getting truely over the bar with the pullups. I started from super dead hang and exploded up. Dips were solid going super low. I was feeling the dip belt digging into my sides/ oblilques a lot and then started clipping across my other side and that was a lot more comfortable for the last 2 sets. -

CF Invictus Performance WOD - 051413 Workout
Workout of the Day
Against a 4-minute running clock, perform the following for max reps:
Run 600 Meters
Push-Ups x Max Reps
For this, I did .375 miles at 8.0, and did 15 Push-Ups.Rest exactly 4 minutes, and then . . .
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 4 Minutes of:
10 Box Jumps (24″/20″)
10 Pull-Ups
I used the red band for Pull-Ups, and got through two sets of each, plus 10 additional Box Jumps (alternating the foot I step down with).Rest exactly 4 minutes, and then . . .
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 4 Minutes of:
5 Burpees
5 Thrusters (95/65 lbs)
This portion was probably the nastiest. I was able to get through four sets, but it damn near killed me.Rest exactly 4 minutes, and then . . .
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 4 Minutes of:
30 Double-Unders
10 Toes to Bar
I'm still getting used to my new rope, but I was able to get through two sets (although my Toes to Bar were horrible). -
CF Invictus Performance WOD - 081513 Workout
Workout of the Day
A.
Take 15 minutes to build to a heavy Jerk
I was only able to get up to 175, and struggled trying to do 185 - not entirely sure why progress on this has flatlined.B.
Four sets for max reps of push press against a 2-minute running clock, with 2 minutes of rest between sets:
Row 300 Meters
Push Press (115/75 lbs)
For these, i did 250m for the Row, and worked to do 10 reps for each set, trying really hard not to sacrifice form. -
CF Invictus Performance WOD - 051613 Workout
Workout of the Day
A.
Six sets of:
Back Squat
Set 1 – x 3 reps
Set 2 – x 2 reps
Set 3 – x 1 rep
Set 4 – x 3 reps
Set 5 – x 2 reps
Set 6 – x 1 rep
Rest 3-4 minutes between sets
For these, I started at 135, then 225, working my way up to my new 1RM of 275! I've seen nothing but improvement since I've been working on my depth, and I've been working on holding the bottom position (in the hole) for a second to make sure my depth is correct.B.
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
5 Burpee Pull-Ups
10 Kettlebell Swings (32/24 kg)
20 Wall Ball Shots
I think I did four sets of these, but most importantly, I was able to get my Kettlebell Swings unbroken, and I was able to do a couple of sets of Wall Balls with 15 reps unbroken as well.Definitely signs of improvement.

CF Invictus Performance WOD - 052213 Workout
Workout of the Day
A.
Four sets of:
Front Squat x 3-5 reps @ 30X1
Rest 20 seconds
Pull-ups x Max reps
Rest 3 minutes
For this, I decided to try a new 1RM on my Front Squat, as I hadn't done them for a couple of months. I was able to get up to a new 1RM (255#), however I'm not entirely sure I went down as far as I should - this is something I'll need to attempt again in the future.B.
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
155/105 lb. Power Clean x 10 reps
Burpees x 10 reps
I felt like absolute shit doing this workout. I had to lower the weight, and I couldn't get any continuity in my Cleans, so I scaled this workout to a 10-minute AMRAP of 5 Power Cleans at 135, and 5 Burpees. I did five sets, but this damn near killed me - I definitely need to work on my Cleans (as always). -
