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.

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.

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. -

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. -
