Was pretty smoked going into this so wasn’t as powerful

Day 3

A. Power Clean (floor) – 8-10 reps – rest as needed for speed/power/tech focus – Start at 85% & build to something heavier than last week if tech is good

255!!!!!!!!! This is a PR in my 40’s……I think we can look back through our time together I have never hit anything over 245. And I have only hit 265 once and that was at the age of 36. So even with all the issues with the ab/hip this is very positive

+

EMOM x 8:

Odd – 3 Hang Power Snatch + 3 Hang Squat Snatch + 3 Overhead Squats @ 135lbs

Even – 3 Power Clean + 3 x Hang Squat Clean + 3 STOH @ 135/95#

Great to get back into the pool today. There was a light amount of pain and after i got out it kind of felt like what i think rehab would’ve felt like

Day 1

Mcgill big 3

McGill Curl-up – 4 x 10sec hold / 5sec Rest + 3 x 10sec hold / 5 sec rest + 2 x 10sec hold / 5 sec rest (between sets of 4/3/2 rest 20-30sec)

Bird-dog – 5 x 10sec hold left / 5sec Rest / 10sec hold right / 5sec Rest

Curl up hurts…..it’s a 8 or 9 when left leg is extended and unable to hold 10sec, it’s a 6/7 out of 10 with right leg extended. Side plank feels ok but front plank is painful

+

A – Bottoms up front squat from rack/pins/blocks x 1.1.1.1, rest 10 sec/3 min x 3 sets

185-205-225- don’t love my set up so was a little hesitant to be too aggressive with loading but still was good

145-150-155 – almost did not get the 155 on the 3rd rep

Day 2

60 minute active recovery session

50 cal echo

50 cal row

400m walk

Don’t remember how many times through but it was cold as shit so walk was about 300m just due to walk around gym and ready to get back inside. I think it was about 7 times through

Day 3

A. Hang Power Clean: Find a 1RM

250 – i hit 245 and felt pretty powerful but didn’t feel great but I wanted to see if i could hit another one. I wasn’t as powerful with 250 but it felt quite a bit easier. However, at that point I thought it was a good place to call it

B. Clean Pulls: 3 reps x 3 sets; rest 2 min – 85-90% 1RM

235

+

EMOM Until you complete 30 reps:

20 sec AMRAP DL – 275lbs

11-10-9 – the only reason i couldn’t hit 11 again on the 2nd one is I just felt the speed slowing down around rep 6

Did single arm db ohs @ 50 instead of the walking lunge. And skipped the rope climb. Didn’t push at super high effort on these but tried to prioritize quality and move with a purpose. 3:05 (c2b 12-12-10-6) – 2:57 (12-10-4-4) – 2:07 (felt i kind of hit a wall with c2b in this round, 10-6-4) – 52
