Tag: Dumbbell Snatch

Double Scap

No golf again. 😦 Out in the garage in the evening since there was a ton of barbell work in the gym programming.

Warm-up – 4 Sets

  • 10 DB Snatch (alt)
  • 10 Goblet Squats
  • 5 Scap Pull-ups
  • 5 Scap Push-ups

Used a dumbbell of 20-30-35-40# from set to set for both snatch and squats

Shoulder Press

  • 10×45#
  • 10×75
  • 10×85
  • 10×95
  • 10×105
  • 10×110
  • 10×115

Definitely have a minor impingement going on in my right shoulder. I’ve done 125 before, but not today.

Conditioning

5 Rounds

  • 10 Ball Slams (30#)
  • 5 Strict Chin-ups
  • 40 Lateral Hops

The gym workout was kettlebell swings (70#), chin-ups, and double unders. I’ve done some swings and dubs lately, so changed up the movements and stuck to the same rep scheme. Doing the chin-ups strict was a little twist I decided to do. I did them in sets of 5, 3-2, and then 2-2-1 for the last 3 rounds. Finished in 6:06.

After a few minutes I jumped on the Airdyne at a recovery pace for 10 minutes and went exactly 3 miles.

It’s nice having my garage sensor running again so I could tell it was about 81° in there while I was exercising.

Storm the Garage

Out in the garage with the storm coming tonight. Started at 1:35pm with Crossover Symmetry Activation.

8 Rounds

  • 20s Parallette HS Hold
  • 40s Rest

A lot different feel to these. Probably could have done 30 seconds but being my first time I wasn’t sure how they would go.

10:00 EMOM (alt)

  • 20s False Grip Bar Hang
    • Wrists over fat pull-up bar
    • Holding Fat Gripz
    • Feet on ground to lighten the load
  • 12 Incline DB Bench Press (35#, low incline)

Starting out easy. Holding an L-sit with the wrists over the bar would be interesting to try once I can build up some strength in the false grip.

24-16-8

  • Weighted GHD Sit-ups (15#)
  • Dumbbell Snatches (50#)

Finished in 5:41.

50 Reps for time

  • Parallette Shoot Throughs

Not the type with a dip on one side and push-up on the other. I did extend my hips out in front on each rep though. Was not expecting these to take so long. Started with a set of 10, then some 5s before dropping to triples. Was done with 25 at 2:28 and thought about decreasing the count. Finished them all at 5:31.

Ended with Crossover Symmetry Plyo. All done at 2:31pm for sub-hour workout.

An Inch An Hour

Another storm rolling through today and it’s really dumping on us. Worked out in the garage around 2:30. Warmed up with Crossover Symmetry Activation and then I started a running clock…

Gymnastics Strength

@ 0:00

Strict Handstand Push-ups

  • MAX Set
  • 2:00 Rest
  • 5 Sets
    • 50+% of MAX
    • 2:00 Rest

I got 11, which ties my PR, so used 6 for my other sets.

Conditioning

@ 15:00

  • 50 Burpees

Didn’t look at the clock until I was done. Took me 2:18, beating my old PR by 11 seconds.

@ 25:00

30-20-10

  • Dumbbell Snatch (50#, alternated every 5 reps)
  • Ring Push-ups

Finished in 6:36.

Midline

@ 35:00

  • 50 GHD Sit-ups

I could feel my mid back locking up right away in the first 10 reps. Over-extended some in the HSPU resulted in this. So I had to adjust to more of a straight-back sit-up using my abs instead of forcing my knees closed and using my hip flexors. A lot of short breaks too. Still timed it at 3:40, but not worth using as any gauge of any kind.

Time to clear the driveway again!

Super Shoulders

Yesterday was a complete waste of a day after the Super Bowl. That’s why I rarely drink more than 1 or 2 beers. Glad it was a scheduled rest day though. Winter is finally back after not having any snow left on the ground for weeks. Out in the garage before 5pm so I wouldn’t have to drive in this crap. Warmed up with Crossover Symmetry Activation.

Strength – Shoulder Press

  • 6×45#
  • 6×75
  • 6×95
  • 6×115
  • 6×125
  • 6×135
  • 6×142.5
  • 6×147.5 (PR)

I didn’t even realize I had a previous 6 rep, but saw the 145 from last January after logging it in BTWB. Glad the ranking was higher than my weak 8 rep from last week.

Conditioning

Came up with these 2 workouts based off what Intuition was doing today with a little adjusting.

6:00 AMRAP

  • 4 HSPU
  • 6 Alternating DB Snatch (50#)
  • 4 Weighted Pistols (30#)

Was able to keep everything unbroken but the handstand push-ups got slow. Finished 5+10.

5 Rounds

  • 10 Ring Swings
  • 10 Ball Slams (30#)
  • 10 Weighted GHD Sit-ups (15#)

Really enjoyed the swings that I subbed in a workout the other day and I need to work on keeping things tight during that swing. Good to practice them in a fatigued state sometimes too. Barely enough height in my garage to swing on my rings. Took me 8:49 to finish. Glad I went with 15# instead of 20# on the GHDs since I haven’t done them in a couple of weeks and don’t normally do them in a metcon.

Inverted

Why not hit the shoulders a little more after all of the rest?

3 Sets

  • 0:45 HS Hold (facing wall)
  • 1:30 Rest
