PM Session: Every 5 minutes, for 15 minutes (3 sets): 8 Alternating Barbell Reverse Lunge @ 50% of 1RM Back Squat. 20 Goblet Squats (Light) 20 Front-Racked Walking Lunges (Light) 185 Back Rack lunges for this (this was surprisingly the easy part) 35# KB for goblet squats because last week it was supposed to be “Medium” and I used a 53# so I figured that would be lighter. 35# KB’s for FR Lunges – wasn’t sure if it was supposed to be barbell lunges or not, so stuck with the KB theme. Times were: 1:59 / 1:51 / 1:59 –… Read more »

Yep the weights were flying up today! I hit the first one and rested a bit (not much), but both reps went up within the minute timeframe we had. 1RM is only 215 but the last 2 cycles I’ve been hitting 205 more often. The lunges and goblet squats got me nice and warm and I felt pretty smooth today.

A. Last sets were 275-295-315miss Jerk-325mis Jerk-325miss Jerk. I’ll post the video, I’m just not committing and not getting the head through my shoulders-probably from a mess of shoulder issues the past year or so and being hesitant. B. 370. 5 reps, 4 reps. Didn’t have tons in the tank for this. I’m sure I should be able to get 7-8 reps for a real max. Aerobic Gymnastics A. E3M, Did 400n Run instead, 2 legless 2:12-2:10-2:14-2:20-2:50 <1:50ish on the first 3 then 1:53/2:03 on last two for the run. Arms got tired and needed a long break on the… Read more »

Squeeze that butt, quad and gut on the holds. That’ll put you in a solid position when holding the sandbag. Lets see those jerks. It will be a case of practicing it at lower weights until you feel comfortable.

Good numbers, just make sure you are getting that fast turn over. A lot of times that causes people to get pushed out the back.

Got some cupping and soft body work done yesterday. Back and psoas feel great but my arms are a little sore. Clean & Jerk up to 245lbs. Missed the first jerk. But made the second attempt. Might’ve been a press out though. Cleans were solid. Back Squats at 300lbs: 4, 4. Conditioning: 4:10. Was shooting for sub 4. Need to move faster on the burpees earlier on. First time doing Dbl DB snatches. Went UB and felt fine. Paused briefly at the shoulder on the way down. Normally step into my burpees and jumped today and think my step intos… Read more »

AM Session: Switched it up and decided to squat in the morning today instead of doing a strength accessory. I think the strength accessory last week blew me up for the squats in the afternoon. We’ll see how it goes… Three sets of: Banded March with Front-Loaded Carry x 3 minutes (used a 20# WB just for activation purposes) Rest 2 minutes Front Squat *Set 1: 4 reps @ 65% – 205 *Set 2: 4 reps @ 75% – 235 *Set 3: 4 reps @ 80% – 255 *Set 4: 4 reps @ 80% – 255 Rest 2 minutes between… Read more »

The dumbbells should be side by side so they’re ready to be picked up for your next set
