Gym to Garage

Yesterday I walked 18 holes on a very sloppy golf course from all of the rain. When the conditions are like that it really takes a lot more out of me than you’d think. Went to the 4pm class at the gym.

Warm-up

3 Sets

• 15 Reverse Hypers (50#)

4 Rounds

• 10/10 Leg Swings
• 10/10 Arm Circles
• 10 PVC Passes
• Front Rack Stretch

Hang Power Snatch

• 2x3x45#
• 3×75

Hang Power Clean

• 3×95#

Conditioning

• 7:00 EMOM
  • 7 Pull-Ups
  • 3 Hang Power Snatch (95#)
• 7:00 EMOM
  • 7 Burpees
  • 3 Hang Power Cleans (125#)
• 5:00 Rest
• 7:00 EMOM
  • 7 Pull-Ups
  • 3 Hang Power Snatch (125#)
• 7:00 EMOM
  • 7 Burpees

I was able to get all 14 sets of pull-ups unbroken! I was starting to feel my back when bringing the bar down between reps during the 125# snatches. When I’m resetting like this is when it’s bothered me the most over the last year or so. Then I almost lost my grip on the barbell during the last two sets of that second round of snatches. I went to pick up 165# for the hang cleans, deadlifted it, and decided not to push my back, so I just did the burpees to finish. Lifts from the hang and especially stringing them together affects my back a lot more; I probably should have done singles from the ground.

Year of the Engine – Time Trial

10:00 Airdyne

Jumped on the bike when I got home from the gym. Could I beat 400 calories? Close, but no cigar. I got 396 calories and 6.95 km. It was the middle section again where I start to really slow down. Solid effort after being at the gym.
