Conditioning

Myself in an L-Pullup
Ahh Conditioning day, always a fun day.  I was going to try the filthy fifty, a crossfit classic, it's simple 10 exercises at varying degrees of difficulty, 50 reps each.  Instead I decided to come up with my own, here's what happened.

For time
50 Kipping Pullups
50 Box Jumps - 24 inches
50 10 metre Rows (so you row 500 metres)
50 Burpees
50 Travelling Lunges (25 per leg)
50 Alternating Swings - 24 kg (25 per arm)
50 Situps
50 Jump Squats
50 Push Presses - 45
50 Bench Supported Lateral Jumps - 24 inch box (25 per side)
Time: 33:51

I have completed a version of the original filthy fifty, and this time is slower but going into it I believe it to be a harder workout, and it was.  The burpees hands down took my the longest, the only thing I didn't take a break on was the row, and had the pullups showed up later they may have been a lot harder.  Overall I was spent, even the exercises that were easy (push presses, situps, lunges, lateral jumps) were still energy wasting and time consuming, was glad when it was over.

I also finally decided to post a picture of myself, it is afterall my blog, L-Pullups are very tough with my long ass legs.

  1. I'm definitely going to give this a go! I'll do cycling instead of rowing, though.

    How are the alternating swings with your bad back? Dumbbell swings tend to give me some pain. The kettlebell swings were the only thing that really hurt with the 12 Days of Christmas.

  3. That way you can do it exactly as required, I may change the weight on the swings to 20kg but Ill have you practise a few reps before.

  4. I wasn't planning on doing it this week - I've already worked out what I'll be doing each day and I have something else planned for my conditioning on Wednesday.
