December 29, 2020 – Invictus Athlete

Two rounds for for breathing efficiency and movement quality:
400 Meter Run or 20/15 Calories of Assault Bike
30 Overhead Squats (20/15 kg)
20 Russian Kettlebell Swings (32/24 kg)
10 High Box Jumps (Step Down)

*Try to bring your grip in narrower on each set with the goal of getting to the same grip as you would use to jerk.

Breathe exclusively through your nose throughout this entire portion. If you find that your mouth drops open, you’re going too hard. Slow your pace and resume breathing only through your nose.

A.
Every 2 minutes, for 8 minutes (4 sets) for max reps:
30 seconds of Shoulder to Overhead*

*Sets 1-2: Push Press @ 45-55% of 1-RM Split Jerk
Sets 3-4: Push-Jerk @ 55-65% of 1-RM Split Jerk

B.
Three sets for max reps of:
Unbroken Dumbbell Bench Press
(use a load where you can get 12-15 reps)
immediately followed by…
Unbroken Push-Ups
immediately followed by…
Unbroken Strict Pull-Ups
Rest 2 minutes

C.
Against a 4-minute clock:
21/15 Calories of Assault Bike or 25/18 Calorie Bike Erg
21 Bar-Facing Burpees
21 Front Squats (95/65 lbs)
Max Reps of Double Unders in remaining time.

Rest 3 minutes and repeat for a total of FOUR sets – 28 minutes total.

D.
One set of:
50 GHD Sit Ups
50 Toes-to-Rings
50 Anchored Sit-Ups

Strength Accessory Option
A.
Three sets of:
Tempo Strict Pull-Up x 5 reps @ 6211
(use an assist to get back up if necessary, focus on the controlled 6-second lowering; add weight if you can easily maintain rep and tempo prescription)
Rest 2 minutes

B.
Three sets of:
Supinated-Grip Bent-Over Barbell Row x 8-10 reps @ 2111
Rest 30 seconds
20 Barbell Biceps Curls (20/15 kg)
Rest 90 seconds

Engine Accessory Option
Every 10 minutes, for 20 minutes (2 sets) for times of:
100/70 Calories of Assault Bike

Rest until the running clock reaches 25:00, and then…

Every 8 Minutes, for 24 Minutes (3 sets) for times of:
80/60 Calories of Assault Bike

Strongman Option
A.
Every minute, on the minute, for 8 minutes:
5 Supinated-Grip Bent-Over Row (heavy)
5 Ab Wheel Rollouts

B.
Three sets for max distance of:
90 second Prowler Sprint
Reverse Sled Drag Back to Starting Point
Rest 2 minutes

Load the sled with a weight that will allow you to move without stopping, and sprint it as far as possible in 90 seconds – this should be an all out effort. As soon as the 90 seconds are up, grab the rope and reverse sled drag it back to the starting point.

C.
Five sets of:
5 Unbroken Dumbbell Deadlifts
5 Unbroken Dumbbell Cleans
5 Unbroken Dumbbell Front Squats
5 Unbroken Dumbbell Push-Press
Rest 60 seconds

Perform with a weight you can continuously move for all 4 movements. A good goal would be 70/50 lb DBs.

Great to see your improvement! Lets see if you can adjust those reps a little more so you can get to those double under.

It really depends what will elevate your heart rate more? Some find that trying to hammer the assault bike will jack their heart rate others may find the burpees will do that. For you being a little more jacked than most I would say that you can push the assault bike and feel ok but pace and stay checked in on the burpees.

Now the burpees do, i think if you switch the movements it would be the bike. So think i picked the right attack of the workout?

Finished around 2:30-2:45 every round before the du’s

The bike is what will jack the heart rate up.
Also burpees haha
But for like 20 cal bike you can hammer the bike in x seconds. And step off the bike and heart is still not high. That Is just the body hasnt yet to absorbed it. Then you 15 sec later heart rate has gone alot up.
Just try it with out any warm up and stuff.
Takes couple of sec to sink in specially if it just once haha

How’s your IT band and bicep tendon?

Didn’t do much today that would irritate my bicep tendon except the bench and that was fine.
Sartorious is way better. Night and day difference.
Low back is still a little tight and I could tell it was ready to flare/spasm if I went too fast on the squats. But otherwise I was fine.

Not a great day, but got it done.
