Four sets for times of:
Row 1650 Meters
Rest 4 minutes

Your goal should be to maintain consistent pacing across the four sets – and ideally, holding the same pace/500m you held on Monday. Your perceived rate of exertion will increase each set, but your total time should stay consistent within a 5-second window. Pay attention to the your pace/500m splits to ensure consistency. If possible, wear a heart-rate monitor and track your heart rate at the conclusion of each interval, as well as at the end of your 4-minute rest. Please post these numbers to comments, and if we have a group of athletes using heart rate monitors we will start a discussion as to how to most effectively use this data.

PM Session:

Six sets of:
Pause Front Squat @ 24X1 + Front Squat
Rest 2 minutes

155/185/215/225/245/265 (+20 lbs from last time)

These felt really good today. Felt strong in the hole.

Five rounds for time of:
7 Deadlifts (315/225lb.)
7 Strict Hand Stand Push-Ups to 4/2″” Deficit
7 Thrusters (135/95lb.)
7 Muscle-Ups

Couldnt use 2 barbells here so I did 7 dumbbell thrusters at 55 lbs instead of 135 lb barbell thrusters. They were still pretty challenging so I think I made an okay call

Time = 12:36
Everything unbroken – my kind of workout lol

I dunno about that, my shoulders were pretty toasted after that 6″ deficit and failing a few reps. I could feel my lower back starting to arch a little too much as I swung the DBs overhead (i even had to press a few out), but maybe I was just not pacing myself well in this movement and I ran out of gas or something. I’ll try a steadier pace next time, and i’ll see if i have a video of my devils presses from today. maybe there is a more efficient way for me to do them

2. Done and done
3. 5:20 (all UB but I had I wobbly rig issue on the first round that demanded my attention)/7:19 (tried big sets on the HSPU but my traps are pretty poofy today – DB Hang Cleans were pretty easy since it’s basically a bicep curl)/4:19 (all UB but I still haven’t figured out how to cycle these faster)
4. Done

AM Session:

For max calories:
30 Minutes of Assault Bike

Cals = 384.4 – 59 avg RPM (55.8 calorie improvement)

Compared to 6/26/2019 – 328.6 – 56 avg RPM

I really wanted to be between 390-400, which I think is doable, but I’ll take the 55 calorie improvement!

Was gonna do a strength accessory after but didn’t have it so I’ll move it to the PM session.
