A: Skill Work
-accumulate 3:00 in frog hold
-each time you come down, 15 weighted situps (10lb plate held overhead)
B: 2018 Team Series Event #7
1-rep max complex of:
Deadlift / hang clean / hang clean and jerk
Time Cap: 10 minutes
A: Hold was done in :30 segments
B: Best lift 190lbs
To complete the complex, athletes must first verbally state the weight on the bar before deadlifting
the bar, reaching full extension of the hips and knees with shoulders behind the bar. The athlete then can hang clean (either power or squat), again reaching full extension of the hips and knees, this time with the barbell on the shoulders with elbows in front of the bar at the top of the movement. After lowering the barbell to the hang position with arms straight, the athlete must again perform a hang clean (either power or squat), reaching full extension of the hips and knees at the top with the barbell on the shoulders and elbows in front of the bar. Finally, the athlete must perform a jerk (split jerk or push jerk), finishing with arms locked out and barbell over the center of the body when viewed from the side.

Handstand skill work courtesy of CF Gymnastics
1. Handstand Complex
20s Hold + 10 straight arm side taps
Repeat for a total of 4 sets
2. Set down PVC facing out from the wall. Kick up to handstand with one hand on each side of the PVC. Alternate between normal width and narrow by bringing the opposite hand over the PVC so that both hands are on same side of the PVC. Work on shifting weight from side to side.
Maintain hollow body while inverted - toes are pointed
Straddle if you need more stability
For conditioning purposes TRY:
3 max effort sets - rest 1 to 2 min between sets to give wrists and shoulders a break
Notes: This is much harder right now with PVC especially when my left arm is the base and I am bringing the right arm to a narrow position. Was able to get approx. 7-9 reps in each of the 3 sets.
3. Handstand Complex
1 Shoulder Tap (right/left)
1 straight arm side tap (right/left)
1 Strict HSPU
Repeat but add +1 rep to each skill until 4 reps -- then repeat again (rest about 90sec between sets)
Notes: Athlete should complete the entire sequence before increasing reps, i.e. shoulder taps into hip taps into hspu, then without coming off the wall go into another set (+1), etc..until 4 reps of each are finished.
This was difficult - especially at the end of all this other handstand work. First set I finished 3 reps of each before kicking down. I could only get 1 rep of each before coming off the wall for the second set.

65lb shoulder press, 21 reps

18:56
Notes: Warm-up with a PVC or an unloaded barbell prior to starting the workout. Focus on excellent mechanics and keeping the midline engaged throughout every portion of the press. Keep legs and torso rigid for each rep of the press and strive to complete each set in 1-2 efforts. Reduce load as necessary.
As Rx'd is 75/55-lb. shoulder press, split the difference and used 65-lbs. First set was unbroken on the press, split all others 11/10. For back extensions, I went unbroken on 4 of the 7 sets.

Sit-ups
*100 Ft Sled Push after each set of sit-ups. Men use 4X45lb plates.
21:37
Notes: I mixed up the workout in my head and did a set of 5, a set of 3 and a single prowler push after each set of sit-ups. Loaded the prowler with 202lbs (2X45, 1X25). This was a heavy load. I was walking the sled at a medium pace -- definitely could not have run with this load. Sit-ups were touch ground above head at bottom of rep and touch sandbag in front of feet at top of rep.

5 rounds, on the 3-minute start:
20 push presses (75)
weighted dead hang for max time
Notes: held 25 sand bell between my legs as I hung from the pull-up bar. Bar has rubber handles that move slightly during max hang, would be better performing this from a steel bar. Most hangs were between 10-15 seconds - should be able to stretch this out closer to 30 seconds.

With a running clock, every minute perform 1 lift and add 10 lb.
Start with an empty barbell and snatch for as long as possible.
Once you cannot snatch the weight, clean for as long as possible.
Once you cannot clean the weight, deadlift for as long as possible.
Post heaviest load for the snatch, clean and deadlift.
Snatch: 145lbs
Clean: 185lbs
Deadlift: 315lbs
Notes: Did not go to failure on the deadlift. I have been tentative about going real heavy on the deadlift because of all the back pain I had in the SPRING from heavy deadlifts. Really tried to focus on my setup for each rep, even at the lighter weights.
As for the snatch and cleans, I am not pleased with those totals, especially the clean. I have been experiencing pain in my right forearm (extensor) since using the d-ball more often. It has a definite impact on my cleans. Still should be able to make the 195lb bar. Both lifts were 15lbs below a PR.
