A.
Three sets of:
Bench Press x 4-6 reps @ 20X1
Rest 60-90 seconds
Single Arm Dumbbell or Kettlebell Row x 15-20 reps @ 10X0
Rest 60-90 seconds

B.
Five rounds for time of:
Row 500 Meters
20 Push-Ups
10 Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups or Strict Pull-Ups

You can also perform this with a partner, start with one on the erg, and as soon as they have completed the 500 meter row, the resting partner gets on. This will allow some rest for the partner after completing their push-ups and pull-ups, but it will also mean that you are able to sustain intensity for longer.

I forgot to write that I scaled B. 10 push ups and 5 pulls ups instead of 20 and 10. Is this a good scale? Curious about how you do scaling for push ups at CF invictus? 🙂 knees? Thanks! 🙂 as always, thankful for these workouts

A) 70# Bench and 25# KB row
B) I just did some un-timed 400m runs with 15 push ups in between. My pull-up bar and rower were occupied so I did what I could 🙂
Worked on some Double Under practice. I had only gotten them once before but tonight I got about a dozen of them! One day I’ll get a few unbroken!

Great modification for the workout today. Glad you were able to get something in! For the double-unders…practice is everything here. You might try working them into your warm-ups each day, even if it is only 20-30 to start with.

A) 42.5kg bench 6 reps each set, 17.5kg DB 20 reps each arm each set (wasn’t sure it was each arm or total so went for more over less!). Like that. Short and sharp, tempo was a challenge on the bench, definitely would have struggled with more weight.
B) 25:12 did banded strict pull us with moderate to light resistance. Rowing splits were 1:57/1:56/1:57/1.56/1.55. Sheesh!
