Conditioning

21:00 EMOM (alt)

  • 5 Hang Power Clean + 5 Push Jerk (155#)
  • 40 Double Unders
  • Walking Rest

I belted up for the barbell reps because my back was so tight. Took me 15-16 seconds every round and was never in danger of missing. Missed a dub at 14 in round 6 and at 4 in round 7. Would have been an interesting workout without that full minute of rest each time through.

Uneven Dumbbells

Back to work yesterday and it was a rest day. My lats and biceps are sore. Went to the 4pm class.

Warm-up

  • 3 Rounds
    • 1:30 Row (1:00 moderate / :30 recover)
    • 10 DB Sumo DL (30# DBs)
    • 20s DB Front Rack Hold (30# DBs)
    • 10 Up Downs
    • 20s Dead Hang
  • 9 DB Deficit Push-ups
  • 9 Ring Rows
  • 7 DB Up Downs (30# & 40# DBs)
  • 7 Jumping Negative Pull-ups
  • 5 DB Burpees (30# & 40# DBs)
  • 5 Strict Pull-ups

Conditioning

8 Rounds

  • 250m Row
  • 10 DB Burpees (30# DB & 40# DB)
  • 5 Strict Pull-ups

The Rx was 35#, but we only have one dumbbell that weight. Tried out kettlebells but that was no bueno. Settled on using a 30# and a 40#, then just swapped hands every round. Worked out well actually and as a bonus got in some unilateral movement. I started off in the low 1:50/500m on the rower and then settled in at 1:55-1:57 the rest of the way. Did all singles on the bar so I didn’t have to waste energy on the negative or take long breaks between doubles or triples. Finished in 21:10.

Danny with Jumps

Stayed in last night, but was up way too early. Nice to get some things done though. Went to open gym at noon.

Conditioning;

“Danny” – 20:00 AMRAP

  • 30 Box Jumps (24″)
  • 20 Push Press (115#)
  • 30 Pull-ups

I’ve done this once, two years ago, with all step-ups. I got 3+46 then. Today I got 3+53. Went 11-9 on the first three rounds of push presses and then 6-5-5-4 with shorter rest at the end. Pull-ups were all in done 5×6.

Nice to start 2019 with a PR! 🙂

I got a blood blister in the middle of my left palm. I’ve never had something there. Maybe it was because I was regripping the bar on a lot of my reps and I’m still getting used to the butterfly again. I didn’t wear any grips on my hands due to the push presses.

Midline

2 Rounds

  • 20s L-Sit
  • 30 Russian Twists (45# plate)
  • 30 Alternating V-ups
  • 20s L-Sit
  • 30 Weighted Sit-ups (30# slam ball)
  • 30 Hollow Rocks

My abs were dying in the first round of v-ups! Very nasty and took 14:17!
