240 One Arm Thrusters

Was starting to get the idea in my head to skip today because I knew the pain that was coming, but I want to get a lot done tomorrow so I made it out to the garage after finishing work.

Active Life – Singe Leg Bias

2 Rounds

  • 1:00/1:00 Sciatic Nerve Flossing
  • 1:00 Cat Camel
  • 20 Box Hamstring Curls
  • 20 Alternating Reverse Lunges
  • 10 Alternating Kossacks

It’s nice when it’s simple, especially on the days with the below shit.

Active Life – Back Max

4 Sets

  • 6x
    • 10m One Arm Overhead Carry
    • 5 One Arm Thrusters
  • 30s Rest
  • Repeat with other arm

Second time workout has come up so I increased the first weight by 5# to do 25-25-30-35# and switched from 2-3-4 minute rests between sets to all 3s. Definitely don’t need other conditioning when this shows up. Took me 26:03. I would not have survived 40#.

Now I can enjoy the rest day without feeling guilty about missing a workout.

I’m Sore-y

Yesterday was a rest day. My shoulders were starting to feel pretty wrecked, my abs randomly cramped all day, and my back was a little tight. Today I can’t straighten my elbows, most of my upper body and core is sore, but my legs and back feel fine.

Active Life – Single Leg Bias

Warm-up – 3 Rounds

  • 10 Sumo Inchworms
  • 10 Sumo Stance Good Mornings (45#)

Workout – 4 Rounds

  • 20 Sumo Deadlifts (135#)
  • 10/10 Sciatic Nerve Flossing

Active Life – Back Max

3 Rounds

  • 5 Cat Camel
  • 10 Thoracic Extension Rotation
  • 10 Bird Dog

I paused two seconds at each position.

3 Rounds

  • 10 Double DB Walking Lunge
  • 10 Strict Toes to Bar Strict Hanging Knee Raises
  • 10 Double DB Front Squat

I used 35-40-50 for both movements. Hanging from the bar hurt and there was no chance in hell I could do T2B, so I did knee raises up to hip height.

This was plenty of work so no conditioning today.
