Monday – 12/4/2024

12/9
A – Squat clean x 1/Front squat x 1/Jerk x 1, new complex every 3 min x 5 sets
205-215-225-235-245
+
8 sets, rest 60 sec bt sets
12 wallballs (20lbs to 10ft)
9 box jump overs @ 24in
6 1-arm alternating DB snatches @ 70lbs
3 ring MU
19:46 (with rest) – the hardest part of this piece was the db…..so around the 4th round when it really set in that this was creating the greatest limitation in transitions, I made up my mind to grind through right after the box jump overs. My transitions after the db to the muscle ups was still too long but the goal was to cut out the transition from the box to the db and the db to the muscle up. I wish I had kept track of each round. After the first 2 rounds when the difficulty set in, I probably dropped off in sets 3&4 and cut that back down with the quicker transition to the db….i rounded up a few seconds on average on most rounds just to keep the timing of restart easier to remember. So I’d say the average time per round was consistently around 90sec

12/7

Was really pressed for time this morning due to helping out with some holiday things. So I made an executive decision to get the lifts in, and erred on the lighter side of everything to make sure I could get into the work quickly and get the work in.

Overhead primer for snatches x 2 sets, rest as needed

A1 – Banded ATYT with CO sym bands x 6

A2 – Banded snow angels with CO sym bands x 8

A3 – Banded face pulls into external rotation and overhead press x 10

A4 – BTN sots press with training bar/empty bar x 5-6 with 1 sec hold overhead each rep

I really feel  the banded face pulls into external rotation creates a little bit of extra stiffness that I can feel fighting through going into the sots press

B – Below knee paused squat snatch x 1.1.1 + 3 OHS after third rep @ 42X1 tempo, rest 2 min x 5 working sets 

*work around 135lbs to start, pause for 2 sec with bar below knee caps before each snatch rep to re-inforce good tension in lats and posterior chain, move slowly and deliberately on OHS

Stayed at 135

C – Overhead step to split x 3 steps/side with 3 sec hold in split position each rep, light load, rest 1 min x 3 sets

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irrYSp6OYus&index=146&list=PLvtkNKX0pcIYsJAAovRvhSzxZhcUMvhmM

95

D – Behind the neck split jerk singles with 3 sec hold in split each rep, new rep every 30 sec x 18 @ 155-175lbs

155

E – Front Squat @ 30X1 tempo x 6, rest 2 min x 4 sets (find a tough working load at this tempo and rep range by the last set, so build as you go)

155-165-175-185 – probably could have pushed a lot harder but didn’t have a whole lot of available time left this morning so just went with it but at least I’m confident tempo was spot ono

+

Every 7 min x 3 sets

15 chest to bar

12 dbl DB thrusters @ 50/hand

9 lateral burpees over DB’s

Run 400m

*target here is smooth movement on the mixed portion and then trying to stay light on your feet and in control of your breathing on the run.

I would love to run this piece back next week if possible

TTT gait prep

Easy 400m jog

+

100m building efforts, rest walk back to start x 4

*target here is a steady build in your speed from the start up until around the 70m mark, at which point you should be around 90% sprint speed. Hold that pace through the finish thinking about keeping a high turnover, driving knees up and forward, and midline strong. This ISN’T an all out sprint at the end, but should be close

This was the best part of the day

600m repeats @ progressive pace

0-200m @ 10k effort

200-400m @ 5k effort

400-600m @ 1.5k effort

new set every 5 min x 5

*3500m 

2:37—2:39—2:41—1:39 —– my paces when I checked my watch might have been a bit aggressive for the targeted pace or at least on the 1.5K effort. That was a low 7 minute mile, for the full pace that might be uncomfortable but probably could hit that and maybe faster but would have to have someone pacing me. But this also helps doing this on the track

7:03 – execution was better but was still a little sore from the first attempt in my lats so mentally was worried about that in the middle of the workout, 1st set on 60 dubz wasn’t my best but I stayed calm, was fighting for the set in 120 (40-40-40) I think i missed once or twice in there, breaks and rest/transitions in bmu felt really good, will go back and watch video for my own personal assessment.
