10 shoulder press
15 overhead squats
20 push press
25 front squat
30 push jerk
35 back squat

Notes: Used 115# for all lifts.
Every 2 minutes on the 2 minutes x 7 rounds:
1 shoulder press
*add weight each round

Then, 3 rounds for max reps:
0:30 handstand hold followed immediately by max rep set of handstand push-ups
Rest 2 minutes

Attempt at new PR (175) on 6th round. I felt as thought there may have been a slight dip, so I asked Matt C. to watch for any movement in my knees for the next attempt. Hit 175 fairly easily here. This is a new PR for me!!

5-5-3 reps of handstand pushups.  

Finished with 50 Evil Wheels.

2. Back SquatOn the Minute x 5:
5 Back Squats


3. MidlineNot for Time:
30 Evil Wheels
40 V-Ups
50 Sit-Ups


1: This was an agressive rest interval -- so I rested as needed between sets, usually sub-2:00, so that I could get all reps UB.
2: 225-225-245-255-255lbs
3: This was tougher than I thought after starting with the evil wheels; v-ups and sit-ups were in sets of 10 rather than bigger chunks I thought I could manage.

Bike Conditioning
4 x 1 Mile Assault Bike
Rest 2:00 between efforts

Best: 2:39
Worst: 2:43
For Time:
10-1 hang cleans + push jerks (95)

Notes: Complete 10 HC then 10 PJ, then drop the bar -- that is set one. Rest as little as needed to pick the bar up again and complete 9 of each without dropping the bar. That is set two. The goal is to keep hold of the barbell throughout the cleans and push jerks, dropping only between sets. Not only will this tax your forearms and shoulders, your lungs will be burning from all that time under tension.

9:33

I was never in danger of missing a set at 95lbs -- next time should scale up to 115lbs.  

5 rounds of:
 1 minute overhead hold (45-lb barbell)
 1 minute rest

50-40-30-20-10 reps for time of:
KB Swings (1.5/1)
Sit-ups

18:11

Notes: Select a load for the kettlebell that allows you to complete at least 35 consecutive swings. For the sit-ups, use sandbell to anchor the feet. The sit-ups are where I need to become more efficient. I struggle to string big sets together. Goal was to complete KB work in 2 sets or less for each round.

10 Rounds: 
6 HSPU
0:10 frog hold

Notes: The planche hold went well -- kept low and focused on leaning forward. As RX'd this workout is EMOM for 14 minutes or until failure. I held 1:30 intervals for the duration of the workout.

Thruster 3-3-3

Push Jerk
155-185-205lbs

Notes: All lifts were taken from the rack. Final set of thrusters had an extra 10lb plate on the right side, making the bar seem unbalanced. Wanted to attempt 185, when I removed the extra plate, I failed the clean attempt to get the bar racked again.

Bench Press 10x3
*use a weight that is comfortable and you can maintain good form

Notes: Used 1st 3 sets to warm up to a good work weight -- 185-190-195. Remaining sets were done at 205lb with no failures. Probably could go heavier, but shoulders were sore after all of the HSPU on Friday AM.

Friday, November 10, 2017

21-15-9-15-21 reps of:
Calories, Row
HSPU
Overhead Squats, 65#

Notes: I wanted to try and do each set unbroken. This means managing rest between movements, completing a big set and taking a controlled walk to the next station. Take a big breath and get mind right and begin next exercise. The initial set of 21 was broken 12/9 for both the handstands and overhead squats. The final set of handstands were broken 12/9 -- all other work was done unbroken,

Monday, November 6, 2017

12-9-6-3- reps for time of:
135-lb/95-lb snatches
1885-lb/115-lb bench presses

Notes: Intermediate scaling. The loads have been reduced so the athlete can complete each set of movements within 2 attempts per round. I scaled to 115/165 and was able to complete each round in 2 sets or less. The next time out try this at prescribed intermediate weights with same goal in mind.

Notes: Sandbagged the first 10:00, rather than warming up and hitting the first interval hard, I built my warmup into this interval. Should be at 110+ for each of these efforts.

A: Deadlift 3-3-3-3-3 reps

Before beginning this workout, establish a goal weight for the final set. Work backward from your goal weight in 10-to-20-lb. increments to establish a starting point. If technique breaks down, decrease the weight and eliminate the error before advancing.

4 rounds for time of:
30-cal. row
30 GHD sit-ups

Notes: This was done at a lower intensity and not for time. I did not have the leg drive on the rower thanks to yesterday's squats. Each row was 1:50-ish where I would normally get 30 cals in under 1:40. GHDs were broken 15/15 each round.
