Metcon? Good question! I don't really have a great definition for it. It's a conditioning workout that stresses specific energy pathways. It can be a combination of many different modalities.
Stuff like this:
chinx3
pushupsx5
bodyweight squatsx8
Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as possible.
Or
1 minute of jumping rope
30 seconds of 32kg kettlebell swings
30 seconds of bodyweight squats
5 rounds
Or (classic Crossfit-style)
Bodyweight deadliftx10
400 meter run
3 rounds for time.

Light sled dragging to recover. That would work nicely.
Active recovery can be golf and poolside lounging.

Steve, by bodyweight do you mean unladen or with a bar that is equal to your bodyweight |

Let's take me.
I'd do it with a 275# barbell. I would be too lazy to load 265.
So, bodyweight ON a barbell.

Ok, I looked it up and Metcon = Metabolic Conditioning, which are basically the WOD, I was doing these before I started doing strength work again to get ready for rugby.
I still use the standard crossfit warmup before the strength sessions, awesome.
Hey Shaf, I dont see DB Curls in the workout plan, did you forget about these?

I find the word "unladen" to be one of the funniest in the English language. It never fails to recall one of the greatest films made. Its just a question of weight ratios!
For a scientific view:

If I do Back Squats on Monday for strength A, do I do Back Squats on Wednesday for strength B, or should I choose a different squat for Wed?

Either
1. Choose a different rep range
2. Choose a different squat variant
