Tuesday 6.8: Deads, push-ups and box

Tuesday. Metcon, 15min amrap of: 5 deadlifts (120kg), 10 push-ups, 15 box jumps. Result, 275 reps.

Today's focus was purely on the metcon. I figured it's gonna be enough. The main strength element was deadlift, accompanied with two bodyweight movements. Got a lot of reps and wanted to keep my motor running throughout the workout. Toni worked out at the affiliate.



Metcon. Result 9 rounds + 5 deadlifts (275 reps)

  • 15min amrap of:
  • 5 deadlifts, 120kg
  • 10 push-ups
  • 15 box jumps, 61cm

I think this workout was genius. There's enough time to get serious with the weights, it was a total of 6.000kg deadlifting, 90 push-ups and 135 box jumps. The "thing" was obviously the box jumps. It's a tough movement, it crawls under the skin. It gets breathing go sick, legs are going to burn and the overall feeling makes you fatigue.



The deadlift wasn't heavy. Still, once the metcon rolled on, I had to get some breath before grabbing the barbell for the next round. My strategy was to go through one round and then catch a breath. I managed to obey that routine for the 15 minutes pretty well. My round times didn't drop dramatically. They were mostly around 1:40. The first round was the fastest, about a minute. Didn't go light-headed in the beginning because this was a long workout. Tried to maintain a solid pace without too much breaks. Managed to follow that path well.
