Day: August 30, 2014

Unexpected

Headed to CFi around 10 to do some stuff. Warmed up my shoulders with Crossover Symmetry Activation.

Gymnastics

Every 15s until failure

  • 1 Muscle-up

Saw this on the main site the other day and it looked like fun. It was much harder than I expected because you don’t really get any time to recover. I made it through 21 reps before I failed. Stringing reps together in an EMOM is a lot easier!

Strength

Back Squats

  • 10×45#
  • 5×135#
  • 5×185#
  • 5×215#
  • 5×245#
  • 5×265#
  • 5×275#
  • 5×285#

Felt pretty good.

Bench Press

  • 10×45#
  • 5×95#
  • 3×135#
  • 3×185#
  • 2×205#
  • 1×225#
  • 1×235#
  • 1×245# (PR)
  • 1×250# (PR)

Damn! Was not expecting that. I haven’t bench pressed heavy since the day I hurt my shoulder, back in January. That was a 10# PR. I guess all of the shoulder pressing I’ve been doing has a big carryover.

Conditioning

4 Rounds

  • 1,000m Row
  • 4:00 Rest

My goal was to set a PR on the first row and then go at a pace 10-15 seconds per 500m slower for the other 3. I wasn’t recovered very well yet for the 2nd row. I did manage to set a PR by 5.6 seconds with a 3:16.1 and then my other splits were 3:46.2, 3:41.6, and 3:40.1.

A few hours later I headed out to the garage.

20:00 Air Dyne @ Z1

Went 8.59km.

  • GHD Sit-ups
  • Back Extensions

Not for time. Just to get in some extra work.
