5 Rounds
12 calories assault bike
12 slam balls
12 db snatch (50)
12 abmat situps
"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.
Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:
5 right arm kb snatches (44)
5 left arm kb snatches (44)
50 singles with heavy rope

8 rounds + 1 snatch

Dubai Championship 2018 Event 8 
20 meter sandbag carry
12 burpee box jumps (20" box)
30 calories assault bike
12 burpee box jumps (20" box)
20 meter sandbag carry
Time Cap: 7 minutes 

 6:49

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.

7 Rounds For Time:
12/9 Calorie Assault Bike

Notes: Tried to keep 70+ RPM for each round. The d-ball kicked my butt -- I have not used this for a while and it showed.

95/115/115/125/125/135/145/150/155*/155

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.

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



Tuesday, May 21, 2019



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.

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.

16-cal. row
Max rep GHD sit-ups, to parallel

18-14-15-11-13-10-19 = 100 GHD situps

Notes: Held about 1250-1300 cals per round. This worked out to about :45 seconds and 210m per round (1:47/500m). The damper was set at 10 (192 drag!) from prior user and I didn't realize until I was into the 3rd round.

Deadlift 5-3-3-1-1-1 reps

5 x 255
3 x 275, 299
1 x 309, 319, 319
Notes: Used the deadlift session from Feb 24 as a guideline for loading.Workout at No Excuses -- my lower body was smoked from all of the lunges yesterday, so I wanted to keep this at about 90% of max effort.

Wednesday 110831
Eight rounds for max reps of:
75 pound Push press, 20 seconds
Rest 10 seconds
Jumping alternating lunge, 20 seconds
Rest 10 seconds

Notes: Scaled to 65# barbell for the push press due to all of the pressing done yesterday. Wore my Rehband sleeves which made a huge difference in the jumping lunges.

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).

Back squat, 1 rep
Shoulder press, 1 rep

Mainsite WOD
7 rounds for time of:
14 dumbbell deadlifts
14 alternating dumbbell shoulder presses

Men: 50-lb. dumbbells
Women: 35-lb. dumbbells

Notes: This should fatigue the shoulders and test you mentally to hang on to the KB. The shoulder to overhead is definitely going to be a limiting factor. Pick a weight you can do UB on the first round and remember this is a long workout and not a sprint. Pick a pace and try to maintain for all rounds.
