16.57 as RX
Inspired by one of the members – Annika – did
10 x 2 mu, 6 WB
80 Row cal
10 x 2 mu, 6 WB

Worked perfect for me, sufficient rest by transitioning to different exercises. Row finished around 4.19. Went slow to keep heart rate low-ish. Only last 5 rds of MU and WB were really hard.

B. 20.5 – scaled to 40 strict pull ups instead of MU – 19:14
Broke it up into 8 sets
10 cal row
15 Wall Ball Shots
5 Strict Pull Ups
*** this worked well for me since I struggle with large sets of WB’s and long rows

Thanks Candy! Breaking the C2B into tiny sets was key for me. I hate those! Not so bad yourself! Great job getting the open done!!!!

Yeah…my initial thought was to just get the rowing and WBs out of the way and then attempt BMU…haha..but I’m not registered for the open this year…and I feel like I had a WAY better workout doing it the way I did.

Hey guys I’ve got a question. I’m new here and I was just curious about programming. I love the looks of the workouts here but I was wondering if I should do a more specific strength geared program to start since that is a weak area of mine(pun intended)? Any feedback would be highly appreciated!

What are your goals in general? A good mix as it is in the workouts posted here is a great start, as well looking into the fitness programming section. Strength and stability is most important when it comes to health on the long run imo.
Sorry for my English, I am from Europe.

You’re fine! My English isn’t very good and I’m from America!lol. Honestly my goal is to be healthy number one. Then I would like to hit some PRs on the deadlift, press, squat and I of course would like to achieve my first muscle up.

I think that most important is to stay consistent over month and ramp up the intensity gradually. With this programming you have all the main lifts sprinkled with nice met cons. Proper mechanics, ie technique, enough sleep, nutrition and you will be golden over time! Cheers and have a great start!

Welcome! I agree with Simo, it’s a good mix of strength and conditioning. There are cycles built into the programming rotation so you will get to new 1-rm’s. The only tricky part here if you don’t know any 1-rm’s will be figuring what to base the prescribed percentages off of. Regardless, you will get stronger here.

Yesterday’s:

Warmup ✅

Emom 30‘
8 Deadlift 140 kg UB
14-12 walking lunges with 32 kg KBs 8.6-8.4
20 pull aparts
10 shoot throughs
30s rest on rings
After the second round I had to rest after the lunges so I did 3 rounds of max reps pull aparts after the workout. Shoulders where smoked from yesterday’s eve.
The deadlift lunges combo crushed me. Maybe I should have scaled down the weights on the lunges. Anyway I just tried to push it ahap.
You have a great 20.5 and a nice weekend!
