A.
Take 20 minutes to build to today’s 1-RM Dead-Stop Front Squat

For some Monday inspiration, take a look at our youngen’ Maddy Myers hitting a solid 260 lbs Dead Stop Front Squat.

B.
Every 2 minutes, for 10 minutes, complete:
Clean from 2″ below the knee + Jerk

Set 1 – 60%
Set 2 – 65%
Set 3 – 70%
Set 4 – 75%
Set 5 – 80%

Every 2 minutes, for 10 minutes, complete:
Clean + Jerk
Set 6 – 85%
Set 7 – 90%
Set 8-10 – 90+%

Make sure to fim your clean and jerks! Please post to the blog or to our FaceBook group.

C.
For time:
21-15-9
Thrusters
Burpees Over the Barbell

40-54: 115/75 lbs
55+: 85/55 lbs

Rest 3 minutes, and then …

Row 500 Meters
400 Meter Farmers Carry
Row 500 Meters

40-54: 24/16 kg
55+: 16/12 kg

The first couplet is intended to be fast. This needs to be 100% effort and pushing to go right from your thrusters into the burpees. Push the pace on the burpees. Make sure that your burpee jump is a two-foot take off, staying low.

Optional Session (Best performed 3-4 hours between sessions)
A.
For time:
Run 800 Meters
Power Cleans x 12 reps
Run 400 Meters
Power Cleans x 10 reps
Run 200 Meters
Power Cleans x 8 reps

40-49: 155/115 lbs
50-54: 135/95 lbs
55-59: 115/75 lbs
60+: 95/65 lbs

*Yes, this did change from originally posted. I decided to change your optional session based on the training numbers from 1/30 so you aren’t crazy if you remember seeing running and muscle-ups as the original optional session!

B.
Three sets, not for time, of:
Banded Good Mornings x 10 reps @ 30X1
Rest 45 seconds
Bat Wings x 5 reps @ 1515
Rest 45 seconds
GHD Hip Extension with Arms in “Y” Overhead x 10 reps @ 2012
Rest 45 seconds

Day 2 post cold. Body feels fine. Lungs still awful. Head so stuffed I can’t smell or taste. My amino acid pre-workout literally tastes like water. It’s bizarre.
A – 270#. Felt solid given I haven’t squatted in a while.
B1 – 165, 175, 185, 195
B2 – 205, 210, 215×3. Felt okay, didn’t push it.
Did optional part B.
Hoping I’m 100% by Monday, but at least I can lift right now and do something.

Maybe a silly question but does anyone else have trouble with the band ridding up during the crawls in the activation series?

It is best using a slingshot! I just re-filmed those videos, along with others, and I am using a sling shot in them!
