200-Foot Prowler Sprint (Light)
Rest 3 minutes

Don’t be scared to make these hurt a little. Force yourself to go straight from the prowler to thrusters and thrusters to sled. Lets see how hard you can push in a fatigued state.

C.
For completion:
400 Meter Sandbag Carry (Bear Hug)

Go heavy, and take your time. WALK, do not run. The point is to accumulate time under tension and strengthen your posterior chain, so embrace the slow grind of the walk and don’t get in a hurry. Please note the weight of the sandbag used, as we will want to increase the load over the course of the next several weeks.

Mixed-Modal Capacity Accessory Option
Every 4 minutes, for 32 minutes (8 sets) for times:
15/9 Calories of Assault Bike
9 Burpees
15/9 Calories of Assault Bike

Note times for all eight sets. Allow bike monitor to roll while you do burpees, but don’t pedal for longer than the initial 15/9…you’re finished when you hit 30/18 calories.

Push press: squeeze your burg and quads and keep pressing. That should help you stay locked out!

Pts. A. Done. Echo bike and kb swings were tough with nose breathing. Had to fight to keep moving fast but kept it unbroken. Box jumps smooth and steady. B. Hit 90kg for a nice heavy pp+pj Drive on 95 was strong enough but pushed it to far out front. Jerk Bloks were being used so had to go a little lower and rerack. C. build to 100kg. First rep at 100kg turned into squat. Hit it 2 more times for a power clean. D. Set 1- 6 reps @ 80kg Set 2- 5 reps @ 75kg Set 3- 8… Read more »

Impressive you went from squat to power at 100kg usually it’s the other way around!

A) 9:45ish
B) Worked from 185-255
C) 205/225/235/245/255/265/275/285
D) First set was 6/9/10/12, second set was 8/10/10/12 – shortened up the ROM on the hang for the second set and it felt way better, surprised myself with the 8 at 225
E) Done with 20# DBs

Called it a day here, my legs are pretty smoked from yesterday, and my body seemed to respond well to keeping the volume a little lower on Tuesdays and Saturdays last cycle.

For me the three most important components to keep you strong and healthy are the nose breathing work, accessory work and strongman work. I feel like these are foundational components that everyone should be incorporating

Nice work!
