Miscount?

Went in with B at 5:30 because the workout was all fucking barbell again. The new programming is coming later this week or next week. Can’t wait!

Warm-up – 2 Sets

  • 3/3 Turkish Get-ups (35#)
  • 10/10 Kroc Row (35#)
  • 5/5 Single Arm Front Squat (35#)

Tried to do bottoms-up KB presses, but my right shoulder was having none of that so I did the get-ups instead.

Strict Deficit HSPU

  • Sets of 5…
    • No deficit
    • 1.375″
    • 2.75″
    • 4.125″
  • Set of 3…
    • 5.5″
  • Set of 2…
    • 6.875″

I just kept adding a 10# bumper plate and wanted to do sets of 5 as long as I could.

10:00 AMRAP

3-6-9…

  • Burpee box jump-overs (24″)
  • American KBS (53#)

I think I missed either 1 or 3 burpee box overs in the set of 9. Got into a rhythm with the burpee box overs where I’d turn a bit getting up on the box and then continue turning as I stepped off so I was then facing the box again for the next rep. I finished the round of 15, got the 18 burpee box overs and 7 of the swings. Based this workout off the Team Series one that had deadlifts instead of the KBS.

Russian Twists With a Twist

Still a bit sore in my legs. Went to the gym.

No B.S. Bench Press

  • 10×45#
  • 10×95
  • 5×135
  • 5×185
  • 5×205
  • 5×225
  • 3x5x240
  • 8×225 (Max reps)

Week 7 of the program called for 15-20 pounds over the base (225#) weight. The working sets were not easy. Got 8 on the max reps drop set. Same number I got in week 4, which was about a month ago.

Team Series 17.4 – Partner

  • 100 cal Row
  • 100 T2B

Did it with Jason. We did 25 cals at a time. I started with sets of 5 and was feeling ok so did some sets of 10 at the end. I think I ended up doing 5 sets of 5 and 3 sets of 10, though I did drop real quick and did 8-2 on the final set. We finished in 9:46.

 

Midline

The three of us lined up and did Russian Twist plate passes like this…

I had a stack of varying plates. I think from bottom to top it started out as 10-15-25-15-10-15-25-15-10-15. After passing down and back, we took a rest and rotated positions. Then one more rest and rotation so we each sat in every spot once. Didn’t expect my low back to get fired up as much as it did.
