Set 4: 225/155 lbs

As we approach the Open we will be increasing the volume of pull-ups, toes to bar and bar muscle-ups to ensure that everyone is prepared. Torn hands will only hold you back in training and competition, so we strongly recommend that you wear and get used to grips in training. We strongly recommend Victory Grips, and you can get a 10% discount by entering the code “INVICTUS”.

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:
Front-Racked Kettlebell Bulgarian Split Squat x 8 reps @ 3111
Rest 45 seconds, then switch legs
Landmine Rows x 6-8 reps each arm
Rest 60-90 seconds

B.
Three sets of:
GHD Hip Extensions x 20 reps @ 20X1
(hold for a second at top position, and hold a plate across chest if possible)

Barbell Hip Thrusts x 10 reps @ 10X1
(go as heavy as possible – but be sure to get full hip extension)
Rest 2-3 minutes

C.
Two sets of:
Banded Pull-Aparts x 50 reps
Rest as needed

Running Endurance Option
Six sets for times of:
Run 800 Meters @ 100% of 1-Mile Pace
Rest 2-3 minutes

Your rest period should be sufficient enough to keep your paces, so take your full three minutes of rest unless you know you’re capable of maintaining your paces.

Rowing Endurance Option
Eight sets for times of:
Row 750 Meters
Rest 60 seconds

Your goal should be to maintain consistent pacing across all sets.

First day back after two weeks off post PRK surgery, so I took things a little easier today to ease back in.
A. 3 rounds + 25 reps
B. Scaled the weights back
255/265/275/255/265/275#
C. 135/135/140/140/145/150#
D. 10 reps/6 reps/4 reps/1 rep at 95/115/135/155#
Followed your 50/60/70/80% recommendation. All C2B were unbroken, but unfortunately, I tore on the last few reps of the last set. Shouldn’t be too bad though.

Welcome back!! I hope the surgery was a success and you can see again! ?

Good first day back then you tore your hand! ??‍♂️ Hope it isn’t to bad and won’t effect training.

A) Went a bit over the cap to do 4 rounds – the thruster bike combo is tough on the breathing, felt like I had a good rhythm on the push presses and lunges though
B) 285/305/325/305/325/345
Took another shot at the qualifiers – went 6 seconds faster but couldn’t stick the jerk on my lift today, so just gonna roll with Fridays scores
SAO
A) Used 62# KBs (farmers hold), and a KB for rows
B/C) Did a super set of the hip extensions and banded pull aparts

AM Session: Perform rounds of 21, 15 and 9 reps at 70-75% effort of: Calories of Rowing Dumbbell Box Step-Overs (50/35 lb DBs to 24″/20″ Box) Add a 400 Meter run between each round (for a total of 800 meters of running). Tried to nose breathe only – if I was giving myself a grade it would probably be a D. Was able to do it on the row, then after about 7-8 box step overs I realized I wasn’t even breathing at all and then had to take some time off. And the run was pretty hard too. I’ll… Read more »
