June 14, 2017 – Invictus Athlete

Primary Strength Session

A.
Build to today’s 1-RM Dead-Stop Front Squat

B.
Three sets of:
Front Squat x 3 reps @ today’s 1-RM Dead-Stop
Rest 2 minutes

C.
Every 90 seconds, for 9 minutes (6 sets):
2″ Deficit Deadlift to Knees x 2 reps

Stand on a 2″ platform (plates can work) and pull the barbell from the floor to the top of your knees, then return it under control, open your palms with the barbell on the ground, then re-grip and repeat. Please keep a double-overhand grip for these, and use straps if your grip is your limiter.

D.
Fifteen sets of:
Banded Conventional Deadlift x 1 rep @ 35% Bar Weight + 25% Band Tension
Rest 30 seconds

Bar Weight = 35% of 1-RM Deadlift
Band Tension = 25% of 1-RM Deadlift at Lockout (when the band is stretched)

Example: If your 1-RM = 500 lbs, then Bar Weight = 175 lbs, and Band Tension = 125 lbs

Be as explosive as possible during the concentric phase, then contract your glutes and abdominals as much as possible for 2 seconds at the lockout before lowering the bar to the ground.

Primary Conditioning Session
Every minute, on the minute, for 30 minutes:
Minute 1 – 10 Strict Handstand Push-Ups
Minute 2 – 4 Burpee Box Jump-Overs (24″/20″) + 3 Muscle-Ups
Minute 3 – 15/10 Calories of Assault Bike

Optional Additional Work Sessions
*Please choose to perform only those sessions that are most focused on your weaknesses, and only perform as much of the additional work as you can recover from successfully before your next training session.

PM Conditioning

I did half Kalsu at Rx and then half at bar weight since I programmed it for our affiliate I felt I should test out what either end of scaling feels like.

On Rx I developed a worsening burn in my lower back/ upper glutes. This is the same as two weekends ago with the deadlifts and wall balls. Any ideas? I think it may be poor glute activation.

Prioritize flute activation in your warmup and see if that helps. I like monster walks and shuffles. They seem to really help.

D. Done off 305

Session 3

Really depends on the athlete and also where you set up your deadstop. Some find them much harder. Personally I can’t hit my 1rm deadstop for a triple.
