A. 170, didn’t have any misses but definitely pressed a few of the hangs out.
B. 330, was supposed to be 340 but this was really taxing grip wise so dropped a few pounds, started double overhand but had to switch to mixed pretty quickly, bringing my straps with me next week for sure.
C. 205

Short session today, feeling good after the weekend off and pumped for the rest of the week.

A. Worked from 135-155 over the 20 minutes, felt great.
B. Done at 250 3 second pause
C. Done at 250
D. Burpees 44 thrusters 80
12/10/12/10 and 20 for all 4 sets on thrusters. This was brutal.
E. Done 30lb ball, 35 lb kettlebells
Did one round of the gymnastics conditioning and called it. Felt good but didn’t wanna burn out for the rest of the week. When I started this program 2 months ago I didn’t expect to be able to handle this kind of volume so soon but I’m loving it.

AM. Aerobic/Gymnastics Accessory Option 22:33 T2B and BMU UB SHSPU 15/15, 18/12. Only 2 sets of DU. PM. Warm up done A. 205lb x 10, 215lb x 10, 2 missed full snatches. I made one up after the clock. I was surprised here, my hang snatch is much better than my full snatch. Also very surprised I could do these at true 85% and 90% today. B. 260lb, 3s pauses. C. 275lb. This was a 80%, but heavier than last week. This is my old 10RM from last year and I’m feeling really strong! However… D. Coach Hunter had me… Read more »

A lot of athletes lift better from the hang. The pull from the floor will determine the position of the barbell. If it’s off it messes everything up. Get Hunter to take a look!

A. Worked between 150-160# for both. The hang snatches were a struggle today. I failed basically every other rep.
B. Wow these were hard. 210#
C. 260#
D. So looking at everyone else’s burpees scores, I obviously have some work to do ?
9/7/7/7-I was actually super happy with this. I had about :30 for burpees. Runs felt really good today. :20 – :30 for the bike and about 2:00 for the run
18/16/14/15-yeah these were a mess.
So…30 burpees and 63 thrusters

Is your run 400? I’d like to see these closer to 90 seconds for sure!

It’s more like 450. There’s also a pretty decent hill on the way back that gets me. But I neglect working on running for sure and yes I do have videos. I’ll post them.

Snatch complex: built from 215-235. A couple of misses. But overall felt like a good day.

Pause deadlift @325
Back squat 315-325 Squats have been feeling heavy lately but I know it’s because it’s after the snatch and deads on Monday.

conditioning:
Had a little trouble with transitions on this one cuz I often have a stairway to go down after assault bike.
Burpees: 8/9/9/6
Thrusters: 17/16/15/16

Phew what a day! Thanks!

Back squats will for sure be challenging after all the pulling prior. Not to mention the Assault Bike too 🙂

Warmup done
A) Done at 205 – no misses, but this might be as heavy as I can go from the hang, felt like I had a bunch of pitch and pray reps
B) 260
C) 285
D) Done on the air runner, burpees were 18-17-15-12 (62) and thrusters were 20-20-20-17 (77). Had about 45-50 seconds for burpees on the first 3 rounds, and 30 on the last round (crashed and burned on the treadmill big time here). Thrusters were just one unbroken set each round.
