"Holleyman" - Pack Scaling
20 rounds for time of:
5 wall ball shots, 15 pound ball
3 handstand push-ups
175 pound power clean, 1 rep
Notes: My intent was to do 30 rounds, but the gym was so humid I was having to go to the towel after almost every round and couldn't get my breath. This would have been better done outside at No Excuses with slam balls instead of wall balls. Did not keep time -- my guess is this was somewhere around 30 minutes for the 20 rounds though.

Deadlift
20-18-16-14-12-10 reps
155lbs
Notes:
1. Use the same load for each set.
2. Rest 60 seconds between sets.
3. Focus on keeping the stomach "sucked in" throughout the movement.
4. Be brave, and go as heavy as the rep scheme will allow.
Was able to get through each set with minimal trouble. I have done this workout twice @ 135 and twice now @ 155. Scale up next time out.

Notes: This workout comes down to how much you are willing to push on the bike. I can complete the 30 calories in under 2 minutes but what shape does that leave me for the burpees to follow. Goal should be to keep above 65 RPM for the entire ride.

Tempo Back Squat
7 sets of 1 Tempo Squat
*7s down, 3s pause in the bottom
185-195-205-215-225-235-245lbs
Notes: Wasn't sure how this would feel so erred on the lighter side.
Squat Therapy
2 sets of :45s back squat hold (135/95)
Notes: As written was between 30-60s; used women's RX weight. This was not too difficult - next time out try to hold with the 135lb bar.
Conditioning
The Joker
1-10 Toes to Bar
10-1 Deadlifts (225/155)
Notes: Subbed hanging knee raises for toes to bar and used women's RX weight. All sets and reps were unbroken as scaled. This is a workout that can and should be done RX'd. There is no straight pullup bar in weight room at Jennersville so it is difficult to do T2B, but HKR did not provide enough of a challenge.

Notes: First attempt at 155 was really sloppy, had to press out at the end. Second attempt was clean and matches a PR. Even though this is power snatch, I need to work on dropping a little lower when receiving the bar.

Notes: Attempt to maintain goal pace across both higher and lower stroke rates.
Distance: 2808 meters
Pace: 1:57.5 / 500m
This should be target pace with +/- 1 second. Only 3 of the intervals fell within the standard range, with 5 above range and 3 below. The 3 rounds below range were all on low damper, higher stroke rate efforts. Need to get better at generating the same power even at a lower stroke rate.

First 800 @ 80% (2:10/500)
Last 200 @ ‘max’ effort (1:55/500)
2 minute rest between Rounds
Notes: Had the damper set too high for the first round, which left me completely smoked. Besides that, some guy was talking to me during my rest periods which contributed to extended rest. Ended up being more like 5 minutes between sets.

Did not push the pace because of my wrist, there was still pain, but was lessened by smart hand placement (facing out at an angle).
