This workout is in honor of our very own phenom Cheryl Brost, who is competing at the CrossFit Games this weekend! These are some of Cheryl’s favorite movements mashed up into one workout so you can thank her this one. ? Please adjust the volume of the pull-ups, load of the deadlifts or distance of the handstand walk if needed. Looking forward to seeing everyone post their times and thoughts on Brost! You can compare your results to January 17, 2018

NO TIME FOR BROST BUT WILL TRY LATER…..DID ABOUT 10 MINS OF MARY……OUCH
-Dynamic Mobility, Activation & Warm-Up – Done -Gymnastics Skills & Drills Done. I don’t have Rings to work with so instead I did Muscle Ups on a pull-up bar, and just tuned each drill to the bar. -Option 1 6 Jumping Muscle Ups Done. I still can’t do a regular one, but I’m getting there. -Overhead Squat Progressions 135, 185, 185, 185, 195 -Brost 13:05 Deadlifts @ 185 Last 30 Chest-to-bar were done from the floor, so I guess I cheated. And I can’t do Handstand walks, so I just counted to 33 seconds as I held myself up against… Read more »
Gymnastics done. Those negatives are harder than they looked in the video! (story of my life.)
OHS progression up to 45 kg.
“Brost” – 15:22. Fun but only because I did the 55+ weight. (my 1RM DL is 205#)
500M row: 2:03.
Playing catch up as usual
Dubs / push jerk @ 105 all but 1 set of dubs ub (30)
Ohs still not easy with knee. Only went to 105
Front squats built to 125 then, I did an emom
1-6 front squats (85 lb)
2-8 back squats
Trying to maintain what little strength my legs have left .
did the ring swings but muscle ups just weren’t happening today so did the ring dips
Bench 5 sets 4 reps at 115
DMAW-Done
Gymnastics Skills & Drills-Done, but felt weak…
Overhead Squat Progressions-135lbs, 155lbs, 175lbs, 185lbs, 195lbs
Brost Rx (21:36)
Mobility completed. Legs are extremely sore from Karen yestetday.
A)Skipped MU work as I was short on time.
B)95#/115/135/155/175 Tied 1RM
C)14:07 HSW were good today as I was able to get the 50′ in two sets.
DMAWU) done
Gymnastics) done (option 1)
OHS) modified: dual KB OH step down reverse lunges – sets of 10/8/6/4/2
Metcon) modified: 5 rounds of 3 DLs@225, 6 C2B, 24′ HS walk, 6 C2B, 3 DLs, rest 60s – done 1:35-2:00 per round (no running)
What’s the goal for low rep OHS? I modified to OH KB work last few weeks – for me, it helps with OH stability, balance, etc. But I don’t want to miss a training goal by consistently skipping barbell OHS.
I modified the metcon because I didn’t feel like running 😀
Hey Jeremy – todays goal was to build to a heavy, possible new 1-rm, OHS!
Hahaha, of course… thanks for the quick feedback 🙂 I don’t care about my 1 rm OHS so I’ll likely continue mod’ing on low rep OHS days.
A day behind
DMA done
A. E2MOM done with 105#. Kept it light, my shoulder doesn’t like these
B. FS up to 205. Failed at 210
C. No 14# WB so sad to have to skip Karen… swan intervals instead E90s did 2 laps x 30 min. 10 free then 10 breast. It’s a start…
Fun day swimming though!
Warm up complete
Did squat muscle up progression with feet in close not sure how my shoulder is going to react
Rind dips blue band sets of 5 then reduced to 2 dips remaining last two sets
Ovh squat 55,65,70,failed at 75 started from snatch position because of shoulder
Conditioning since I am 64 yrs old and have not gone above 155 I did deadlifts at 125 lunges at 15 lb plate total time 17:02
Have a great weekend everyone
Rest up tomorrow and let me know on Monday how that shoulder feels!
DMAW done + parts of my shoulder rehab/prehab Ring Muscle-up practice: Negatives felt good, done on low rings Couldn’t do the catch position, even with resistance band, did squatted. Swing drills done Did 6 sets of RMU, with rest, hit all 6! Definitely getting more consistent. OHS: I did 40-45-50-55-60 kg. Failed last one at 60 kg (would have been a new PR with 1 kg), but I failed on the push jerk, backwards. Too bad, I’m sure I would have made it today, it felt so good on the other weights. Brost: 26:03 min. For completion more or less,… Read more »
Best of luck on the move. I have a garage gym and enjoy going to workout each morning without driving anywhere. I have never visited Sweden but I imagine it is a beautiful place to look live.
Thank you! Garage gym for the win, so much more time efficient. Sweden can be nice in the summer but winter is terrible. Not sure how and if I will survive actually ?
Wishing you the best on the move!!! I can’t wait to see your new garage gym!
