October 14, 2017 – Invictus Athlete

Primary Training Session
A.
For the following two drills, draw out your ideal jerk footwork and use those marks to ensure perfect footwork. Please click here and watch this video to learn how to draw your footwork.

Three sets of:
Jerk Balance x 3 reps
Rest as needed

Followed by…

Three sets of:
Tall Jerks x 3 reps
Rest as needed

B.
Every 2 minutes, for 12 minutes (6 sets):
Split Jerk with a 2-second pause in the dip & 2 second pause in receiving

*Sets 1-3 = 2 reps @ 75% of 1-RM Split Jerk
*Sets 4-6 = 2 reps @ 80% of 1-RM Split Jerk

C.
Build to today’s 5-RM Dumbbell Z-Press

The dumbbells should be placed on the shoulders with the elbows out and palms facing foward. Keep the shoulders on top of the hips with a flat back, and keep your elbows in line with your hips and shoulders. Pause for one second at the top of the lift to ensure that the lockout is overhead – not forward.

D.
Against a 3-minute running clock:
10 Deadlifts (225/155 lbs)
20 Wall Ball Shots (30/20 lbs to 10′)
Max Reps of Bar-Facing Burpees in remaning time

Repeat for a total of five sets, resting 60 seconds between sets.

Optional Additional Work Sessions
*Please choose to perform only those sessions that are most focused on your weaknesses, and only perform as much of the additional work as you can recover from successfully before your next training session.

Strength Accessory Option
A.
Three sets for max reps of:
100-Foot Hand-Over-Hand Rope Pull
Immediately followed by…
Dumbbell Bench Press x Max Reps
(choose a load you can move for 15-20 reps. If you hit 25 reps then its to light.)

Immediately on completion of your set of Dumbbell Bench Press drag your sled back to its start position then jog to the end of the rope to begin your next set.

B.
Two sets of:
200 Meter Farmers Carry
Rest 4 minutes

This should be HEAVY! Your goal is to make the whole 200 meters without dropping, but it should be a 50/50 chance of you actually making it, and a test of your mental resilience.

C.
Every minute, on the minute, for 9 minutes (3 sets) of:
Interval 1 – V-Up to V-Sit x 12 reps
Interval 2 – Med Ball Alligator Crawls

x 6 meters
Interval 3 – Straight Body Ceiling Reaching Crunches x 20 reps

Running Endurance Option
Every 10 Minutes for 30 Minutes (3 sets):
Run 1-Mile

If you run an 8+-minute mile, then perform this workout every 12 minutes.

Rowing Endurance Option
For times:
Row 4000 Meters @ 5k PR pace
Rest 2 minutes
Row 3000 Meters @ 5k PR Pace
Rest 2 minutes
Row 2000 Meters @ 5k PR Pace

3. 60# z press
4. Metcon unbroken on all and man did I hit a wall and want to die. Finished all of the deadlifts and wall balls exactly at :58 with 2:02 for Burpees. This is what I need to work on though. Got 30, 30, 30, 20, 20 Burpees for a total of 130.

Still a good effort on the conditioning. I find wall balls to be more mental than anything.

A. Tall Jerks and Jerk Balances felt pretty good today.
B. 40# for DB Z-Press
…I then did most of what I missed yesterday. Only got backsquats in and did 15 reps at 175#, felt pretty good.
Skill Efficiency from yesterday:
10 DB Snatches/20 Pull-ups/10 wall balls–I managed to get my last to sets of pull-ups done in 19 seconds!
400m Sandbag carry done with 100# sandbag. Would have done the harnessed sled pulls but was unable to find my sled do to someone hiding it from their dog because he’s scared of it 😉

Yesterday’s backsquats:
4x: 275lbs
3x: 305lbs
2x: 325lbs
1x: 350lbs
1x: 365lbs

Then a set of 20 at 275lbs. Holy cannoli! 72%

Doing a comp next weekend and there is a EMOM thruster ladder in it. Up 10lbs every min. Made it to 245lbs, failed 255lbs, but I’m gonna go ahead and blame those squats for this.

5RM Z Press: 65lbs

3x:
6 Landmine Rows w/ 20 kilos.
Rest
12 Strict Stationary Dips

Then…

6 min EMOM Finisher: 7 TTB
Cause I suck at TTB.
