Ungodly Chipper

Warmup:
  • Hurdle drills
  • Track drills
  • Scorpion stretches
  • Various lifting warmups
WOD:  "Terrible"

This is a team WOD (I teamed up with Tiffany Shipp).

  1. Run 1600 meters & row 2000 meters.  Partners can work at same time.
  2. 80 deadlifts (185/115).  Only one at a time.
  3. 30 hang cleans (135/95).  Only one at a time.
  4. 300 double unders.  Only one at a time.
Every two-minute interval, stop what you are doing and complete the following before continuing chipper:
  • 1st/6th interval - 20 burpees
  • 2nd/7th interval - 20 box jumps
  • 3rd/8th interval - 20 HSPU/pushups
  • 4th/9th interval - 20 kettlebell swings
  • 5th/10th interval - 20 pullups
Time 44:11

This was my first time back in a while.  I ended up rowing all 2000 meters while T2 ran the mile.  We split the intervals evenly.  After the 10th interval, they expired (thank goodness).  I switched to 135 on deadlift after the first 20 reps.  We split those 40/40.  I completed 10 hang cleans & T2 took care of the rest.  She was unable to get her double unders working, so we did 900 singles instead.  I probably did 500-600 of those and she completed the rest.

Clean & Jerks

Warmup:
10 pvc pass thrus
15 pvc overhead squats

Take 15 minutes to find 1RM on clean and jerks

95/135/155/175/185/205/215/225F

My 1RM was 215# and I appear to be stuck at this weight after reviewing previous posts.  I failed at 225# a number of times.  I think I can get it if I can just get under it.

WOD #1:  "Clean & Jerks"
Using 80% of the above 1RM, perform 3 Clean and Jerks a Min each Minute for 9 Min(Rx)

80% of 215# = 172#.  I used 175# because it was easier to build.

WOD #2:  "Row 1000 meters"
Row 1000 meters for time.

Time 4:15 - I used damper setting 6 and kind of took my time.
