Maiko’s Birthday Workout!
30 minute Ladder up on the minute:
Clean
Burpee
Pullup
This seems really slow and boring at first, but builds a lot of momentum. By the last round, sets of 10 cleans, 10 burpees, and 10 pullups is no joke.

As predicted, traps are a bit sore, but not as sore as they were after the KB swings ladder last week.
Great workout.
Thanks for the b-day workout Tom!! 😀
I’m feeling alright surprisingly. The only thing remotely sore are the traps but it’s not paralyzing at all.
Not sure if you guys still do this but oh well:
I used 95# for the power cleans but couldn’t get beyond 7 reps, but I continued on with the burpees and pull-ups. Clean reps dropped to 6, then 4, then 3 failed attempts. I haven’t done that many kipping pull-ups in ages and they became an issue towards the end, so the burpees were my rest. I can’t believe I just wrote that…
Again thanks for letting a gal celebrate a birthday the only way she can (& wants to)! 😛
and I’m digging the afro-action shots.
I know this is short notice, and our place is off the beaten path (read as “the hood”), but Doron and I are having a get together at our place tonight.

We’d love to see you all if you can make it.
Hey folks! Looked like an excellent workout yesterday! Think I might give this one a whirl after work.
Happy birthday Maiko!! That sounded like a great workout.
Nice to see lots of comments on the blog too!!
What did you guys do Tuesday?? Where’s the blog entry?
How did this work? Did you do 1 clean, 1 burpee and 1 pull up the first minute; 2 of each the second minute, etc? Or did you do one minute for each exercise so there were be 10 rounds total?
Thanks Steph! 😀
Peter – the latter!
You start with 1 rep for the first minute for all three movements and increase the reps by one for every new minute:
1min – 1 clean,
1 min – 1 burpee,
1 min – 1 pull-up
1 min – 2 cleans,
1 min – 2 burpees,
1 min – 2 pull-ups,
etc, etc
Work up to completing 10 reps within a minute for each of the three movements, or die trying like I did 😛
Hope this made some sense!
Basically what Maiko is saying is that there were a total of 30 minutes:
min 1: 1 clean
min 2: 1 burpee
min 3: 1 pull-up
min 4: 2 cleans
min 5: 2 burpees
min 6: 2 pull-up
min 7: 3 cleans
min 8: 3 burpees
min 9: 3 pull-ups
.

.
min 28: 10 cleans
min 29: 10 burpees
min 30: 10 pull-ups
I used 105 on the cleans. For me the pull-ups felt like the rest even though I had to break them up quite a bit.
looks awesome! sorry I wasn’t there to enjoy, but as promised Maiko, I will hit this one up when I get back. Definitely one of the best CFDC B-day WODs I can recall – very appropraite considering the lady in question!!
