August 10, 2015 – Masters Off-Season

Workout of the Day
Dynamic Mobility and Activation

Three sets of:
PVC T-Spine Opener x 20 seconds
Ankle Mobility Pulses x 10-12 reps
Hawaiian Squats x 5 reps per leg @ 3311

and then . . .

One set of:
Reverse Snow Angles x 15 reps
DB External Rotations x 10-12 reps @ 3011

A.
Five sets of:
Narrow-Grip Overhead Squat x 2 reps @ 3311 + Narrow-Grip Overhead Squat x 1 rep
Rest 2 minutes between sets

The goal is to set your hands in your jerk-grip position or even narrower, slowly descend and hold the bottom position for 3 full seconds – the priority should be on mobility and movement mechanics, not load used.

B.
Every 2 minutes, for 10 minutes (5 sets), complete:
High Hang Snatch x 3 reps @ 75% of 1-RM Snatch

and then . . .

Every 2 minutes, for 8 minutes (4 sets), complete:
Snatch High Pull x 1.1 @ 95-100% of 1-RM (use straps)

C.
Three sets of:
Alternating Front-Racked Reverse Lunges x 6 reps each leg (increase load from last week)
Rest 60 seconds
Single Leg Deadlift x 5-6 reps per leg
Rest 60 seconds

D.
Three sets of:
Banded Single Leg Glute Bridges x 15 reps each
Rest 15-20 seconds
Banded Hamstring Curls x 30 reps
Rest 15-20 seconds

Traveling this week. Did today’s workout in the office “globo” gym – mirrors, chrome bar – ugh. Anyway.
A) 95lbs all sets. Interesting learning experience. Kept grip at clean width but had to really focus to keep heels down, low back in line (cramped on first couple of reps. Good stuff!
B) 95# (stayed lite worked on form) then 135#, 145#, 155#, 165#. Forgot straps and no dropping the bar – silly rules.
C) 95# and 35# DB each hand, resp. Another new experience with the single leg DLs.
D) No bands. Improvised and stretched a bit.

B. Done with 95# & 125# respectively (no straps on high pull – don’t own any)
C. a) 80#/80#/95# (should’ve used 95# for all sets), used 1.5 pood KB for single-leg DL… wasn’t sure if this was what was intended.
