Push It

In bed early. Not a fan of this heat wave. Bring back the 70s. Made it to the 9am class.

Warm-up

  • Bottom Squat Hold
  • 2×10 Reverse Hypers (210#)
  • 10 Air Squats
  • 10 Good Mornings (45#)
  • 5 Burpees
  • Deadlift
    • 6×155#
    • 5×205#
    • 6×245#

Strength-ish

12:00 EMOM (alternating)

  • 6 Deadlifts
  • 6 Burpees

I went 275# for the first 3 sets, 295# for 2 sets, and 325# for the final. No belt. Felt good.

Accessory

4 Sets

  • 8/8 Kroc Rows (70#)
  • 8 Barbell Curls (75#)

Little heavy for the curls, but tried hard not to cheat the reps. By this point I was nearly soaked with sweat already.

Conditioning

  • 3:00 AMRAP
    • 8 Thrusters (95#)
    • 8 Push-ups
  • 2:00 Rest
  • 5:00 AMRAP
    • 8 Wall Balls (20#, 10′ target)
    • 8 OH Lunges (45# plate)

Push, push, and more push! I couldn’t do push-ups after the thrusters. Struggle-bus through 3 rounds plus 12 reps. Arms didn’t want to work going into those first wall balls. Lunges were in done in place. Got through 5 rounds plus 6 reps.
