Back to Ring Rows

Yesterday I walked 18 holes on the golf course and was still pretty sore. Guess what… still sore today! It can’t all be from Sunday, so there must have been some compounding soreness from the Tuesday workout. Quads should feel normal tomorrow. Went to the 4pm class.

Active Life – Shoulder Flexion 12

2 Sets

  • 5/5 Thoracic Rotation
  • 10 Evil Wheels

Skipped around again, so I just have the 11th one to finish up. I’ve already done the test and pass so I’ll move on to the Shoulder Abduction corrective action program next.

Warm-up

2 Rounds

  • 200m Run
  • 15 Shoulder Rolls (PVC)
  • 30s Handstand Hold

Strength

Split Jerk: 2-2-2-2-2 @ 70-80%

  • 10×45#
  • 4×95
  • 4×125
  • 2×155
  • 2×185
  • 2×205
  • 2×215
  • 2×225
  • 2×235
  • 2×245

Really happy with that! The range based on my old 300# split jerk (almost 2 years ago) was 210-240, so I was right in the ballpark. Everything from a rack too, which is a lot harder than on blocks. Didn’t use a belt.

Conditioning

  • 20-16-12-8-4 Ring Rows
  • 80m Farmer Carry (32 & 28kg KBs)

Would have loved to try the 10-8-6-4-2 muscle-ups, though it would have taken me a long time to get through on the rings. I split up the ring rows to 4×5, 4×4, 3×4, 2×4, and 4. Quickly put down the kettlebells at 40m so I could turn around and swap hands since I was doing an uneven carry. Finished in 7:25.

After recovering a bit I did some dead hanging and then 3 sets of 10 kip swings (bar taps), which I haven’t done in some time. Shoulder is feeling better, but still something there when I get through the bar. I should get out my Crossover Symmetry bands too.
