Another Go at a TRAIN Chest Program

We took 3 days off for the holiday and my birthday.

We’re going to start the chest program again that we did late summer. We had good results and enjoyed it.

Chest

MAX Bench Press (100/50#)

I was getting pretty slow, so stopped at 50, which is the same number of reps I got before.

MAX Push-ups

Only 30 push-ups though, which is five fewer.

3 Sets

  • 12 Seated DB Shoulder Press (40#)

These felt ok.

50 DB Bench Press (50/25#)

I went 10-8-7, 5×5 to finish in 2:05, which is 21 seconds faster because I was smarter about my sets, compared to 15-10-10-8-7.

Conditioning

2 Rounds

  • 10 cal BikeErg
  • 10 Burpees
  • 10 Box Jumps (24”)
  • 10 DB Hang Power Cleans (40#)

Midline

4 Sets

  • 1:00 Plank

  • 10/10 KB Side Bends (62#)

The flutter kicks got to be a challenge. Wasn’t really for time, but took me 9:46.

Hold It

  • 20 DB Floor Press (40/20#) / OH Hold (45/35# plate)
  • 20/16 Box Jump (20″) / Plank
  • 16 Single Arm DB Hang C&J (40/20#) / Straight Arm Lat Pulldown Hold (37/27#)

One person doing the reps and the other holding, then swap places. B started on the rower, but for the 3rd and 4th rounds we swapped and I started with the movements. I did 20 box jumps to her 16 since we were using the same height. Good workout! Took us 28:55.

Humid Summer

This summer has been over-the-top humid almost every day.

Midline

  • 50 Leg Lifts

  • 50 Oblique Heel Touches
  • 50 V-ups
  • 50 Hollow Rocks
  • 50 Plank Hip Dips

Today I went 30-20 on the leg lifts, felt myself slowing a lot on the v-ups, and was able to do sets of 10 for the hollow rocks. Finished in 7:31, which smashes the 9:13 from a month ago.

Conditioning

25:00 AMRAP

  • 400m Run
  • 20 Box Jumps (24″)
  • 5 Strict HSPU
  • 5 HSPU

I got through five rounds, the run, and 12 box jumps. I rested between the types of handstand push-ups each round except the fifth one where I stayed on the wall because I knew I needed some time to finish the sixth run, but then I ran so fast I had enough time for a lot of jumps. Really sweaty from the heat and humidity, but a great workout.
