September 8, 2018 – Invictus Athlete

Primary Training Session
A.
Four sets of:
Trap Bar Squat Jump x 3 reps @ 25-30% of Back Squat 1-RM
Rest as needed

Focus on an explosive concentric phase of the lift! If you do not have access to a trap bar, you can substitute jumping squats. Be sure to hold tightly to secure the barbell to your back if you do so, and do not go below parallel at the bottom of the repetition.

B.
Five Sets of:
Close Grip Bench Press x 2 reps @ 87.5%
Rest 2 minutes

C.
Five Sets:
Strict Press x 2 reps @ 87.5%
Rest 2 minutes

Five Sets of:
Back Squat x 2 reps @ 87.5%
Rest 2 minutes

E.
Three sets for times of:
20 Thrusters (135/95 lbs)
30 Pull-Ups
400 Meter Run
Rest 4 minutes

*Hit these sets hard. The goal is to go unbroken on the thrusters and pull-ups so please adjust accordingly.

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.

Strength Accessory Option
A.
Three sets of:
Dumbbell Hammer Curls x 10 reps
Rest 30 seconds
Chin-Over-Bar Hold x 20-30 seconds
(focus on keeping shoulders away from your ears so that the scapulae rotates down and in)

Deadbug Pallof Press x 10 reps each arm
Rest as needed

B.
Three sets of:
Single-Arm Overhead Weighted Sit Ups x 8 reps each arm
Rest as needed
Banded Psoas March x 20 reps each leg

Run 1 Mile @ 75-85% of your 1-Mile PR Pace

Keep all intervals consistent.

Six sets for distances of:
2 Minutes of Rowing @ 24 s/m

Holy hell I smashed this workout. I was frustrated the whole day because of a seminar I had to go to and I think I took it out on the weights.

Squat Jumps – 135
OHP – 150
CG Bench – 210 (paused)
Squats – 320

Conditioning: 4:40/5:20/6:30, sadly could not go unbroken 🙁

SAO – 30

I tried doing rowing conditioning but I had to do everything in succession today so my tank was gassed haha

Thanks man. Quick question, I feel like my maxes have gone up across the board. Should I retest at some point, or do programming as is? Bench and Squat sets in particular moved like 75 or 80%

Perform as is but it’s ok to add 2-3% if they feel on the light side.

I feel like I got hit by a truck or something. I was not able to recover well from yesterday and I am hurting today. Here’s what I was able to do.
A. 115#
B. 225#
C. 135#
D. 300#. I hit my first set, then failed the second rep on the remaining 4 sets. Called it quits and have decided to mobilize and stretch today.

I think the E2Mx8 (20 cal row + 3 G2O) is what hurt the most yesterday. I did snatches for G2O and they snatches were not all technically sound. I usually do C&J for G2O, so my poor technique while fatigued might be the cause of my tight low back and sore lats to feel tight today. Also my legs are wrecked from doing those increasing squats for extra credit earlier this week and I did a few extra accessory options this week. I’m just fatigued I guess. Didn’t have much in the tank today.
