  • Body: Good. Probably my last week of consistent training for a long time, as we are leaving the country fairly soon here.

time - 8:50


  • Notes: PR on my back squat double. 2nd rep was a little slow but mostly held it together. I am still going a little bit too deep but I kept my chest up much better and didn't lose back position. Metcon was dirty.

C - RDL, power clean ladder, weighted pulls

0730

1) warmup: 5 minute spin bike

2) RDL to heavy 5 - 95,135,165,185,205,225#

3) power clean - ascending ladder w. 60s rest between each set (short rest times)
2 x 135,145,155,165,175,185,195,205(x)

4) weighted chinups - 7 x 25,35#

5) bachar ladder - 1 traverse


  • Notes: Decided to go with RDLs today instead of a full lift from the floor. Power cleans felt good, but the short rest made it a little tougher. 195 actually felt really good, then I just couldn't get my elbows around 205. Could have kept going, but I think the idea of this is to cut it when you miss/start getting sloppy so I did.
  • Body: Legs are tired and sore. Knees are a little achy too.

  • Body: Posterior chain is very sore.

  • Notes: PR on my 5 rep back squat. Felt really solid, though I think I was focusing too much on sitting back on the last set and lost my back a little bit. Sprints felt awesome as well, so this was a really good day.

2) push press to 5rm - 95, 115, 125, 135#

3) 5 rounds:
10 x wall handstand flutter kicks
10 x med ball to toes, 8#
12 x trx supine rows

4) 3 rounds:
10 x hammer curls, 35#
20 x band tricep extensions
shoulder mobility (crab holds, trap smash, ect.)


  • Notes: Haven't gone heavy in the push press in a while since it has been aggravating the shoulder, but today was fine. Still got a little bit of discomfort but nothing like it used to be.
  • Body: Wrecked from the deadlifts yesterday. Hamstrings and low back are the worst, but I'm tender all the way up my back into my lats and traps as well. Feels great, but also revealing on how not pulling regularly anymore has detrained me a little bit.

Monday, October 3, 2016

A - deadlift, lowers conditioning

1600

1) warmup: deadbugs, lunge twist combo

2) deadlift to 5rm - 225, 245, 275, 285, 300# (pr?)

3) 5 rounds:
3 x deadlift @ 80% (245#)
20 x plyo skiers
10 x med ball to toes

4) cooldown hamstring stretch


  • Notes: Think that might be a pr for my 5rm traditional stance deadlift. I can definitely do more and left some in the tank in consideration for my hammie, but this was still pretty exciting. Hamstring feels 100%, so I think it's time to test out some sprints.
  • Body: Feeling good.
