Hybrid Program Heavy Metcons

[Gordon Richmond]

I just started the intermediate version of Gant's hybrid program and am trying to come up with short and/or heavy WODs to fit the mold. Gant's guidance:

...short and intense. Keep it under 10 minutes (usually under 5). Keep it heavy, and keep it functional. Select workouts that require very little rest.

Two metcons I've done thus far:
Four rounds, individually for time:
5 x 65lb Dumbbell Snatch (each hand)
10 x 65lb Dumbbell Swing
10 Burpees
Rest

Four rounds for time:
With weight vest
5 Pullups
5 Dips
5 65lb DB Thrusters

If you have any WODs that fit this mold, please post 'em.

Two of my personal favorites are:

21-15-9 of:
100kg deadlifts
24" box jumps
dips

-and-

21 100kg deadlifts
5 40kg press+push press+push jerk+jerk (20 reps total)
15 100kg deadlifts
4 40kg press+push press+push jerk+jerk (16 reps total)
9 100kg deadlifts
3 40kg press+push press+push jerk+jerk (12 reps total)

What about Fran? And you can halve some of the other Wod's. Even today's Helen would fit the bill, no?

I also made up a wod based on Fran: switch 225lb DL's or BS for thrusters and pushups for pullups.

I've been doing this as well. I love it!

One I did the other day was:
15-12-9
Double KB (53#) Power Cleans to Thrusters
Pull-ups

The KB PC's to Thrusters are AWESOME...

Another one that my buddy and I did was:
3 rds for time
7-HSPU's
7-105# Thrusters
7-105# Hang Power Cleans

We are coming up with a bunch of sweet WOD's that are catered more towards the Hybrid Program. We have also been sprinting a lot more. Doing 400M sprints before/after our WOD's and doing Tire Flipping relays which are short, but very intense.

my thinking on a 'Ganty' version of fran would be 135 pounds

15
12
9

18 (-20%) less reps all day, but with significantly more intensity. If you are already a sub 10 minute Fran'er, you should have somewhat similar times on this one, but there's a little more emphasis on ATP/CP and glyco here.

Good ideas. I want to keep an eye on this thread.

Have you guys considered using slosh pipes and/or heavy med/slam balls? I filled a $3 basketball the other day and it's at least 20#'s.

Queen Elizabeth (for lack of a better name)

Her knee yeah

5 rounds of:

Frank

3 rounds of:

Damn Tim... You've got to be quite a strong individual to bust out your WOD's... With a good time anyways.

I think I like it...

Thanks, but I'm not that strong. I don't really time myself on these, but I don't think I've exceeded 13 minutes.

BTW, I like the sound of those KB cleans to thrusters. That's how I do the barbell bear complex. Nasty stuff!
