Freddy's Revenge

For time.

5 rounds of:

5 x 185lb** overhead anyway (press, push press, push jerk, split jerk)
10 x Burpees

In this workout it it does not matter how you get the weight overhead but for the rep to be complete you must be locked out, with active shoulders, head through the window and hips open and legs fully extended. I'll demonstrate in the morning for those who are still unsure.

Burpees include a clap at the top, feet must leave the ground and also hips must be fully open before going to the next rep.

**Rx'd weight for Freddy's Revenge is actually 185lb. I copied it incorrectly on the initial post and put 155lb. Scale this as needed. Remember it is better to maintain intensity. This workout was designed by and for a very elite group of CrossFitters to include Jason Kalipa, the winner of the CF Games last year.**

As Rx'd 12:25. Burpees are what kept the intensity level up for me on this one. I alternated between the split jerk and push jerk as I started to get tired/smoked. By round 3, I was doing the overheads 1 at a time.

155 x 1
135 x 4
i did push press first 3 sets,then split jerk last 2. I felt like I was able to generate more power on my last 2 sets with the split jerk. Burpee's smoked me.

7:12, scaled to 135. Push pressed the first 3, and then push jerked the last two. Burpees made this workout.

7:54 w/ scale to 115lbs
burpees had their usual effect.
Great video on the main site today entitled "Hybrid athletics"....when watching it think about the amount of work done in a 11:00.

11:08 scaled to 155 lbs. Started out with 165 lbs but quickly found out on the 1st round, 3rd rep that I had over-estimated! Can't wait to do this one again...

11:07 155x1 145x1 135x3

Should have started at 135. Took a while to change weights cause I was alone but was still smoked even with the rest. Excuses, excuses...

Does anyone know why I have to keep re-signing up to put in comments?

Also, does anyone know if we have a glut-ham machine?

Nate,
There are no Glute Ham Developers in Arvin. There is one in the 3rd Reg weight room and one in the 4th Reg weight room. Both are in the basement of MacLong.
We have a few GHD's slotted to go into the CF training area which will hopefully being going in the the '62 Room in the near future.

1st set 155lb
2nd-5th 135lb

There were a ridiculous number of people in the weight room. It is great to see the huge growth in CrossFit here at West Point.
