Damn Dental

Sunday got busy removing a toilet, tearing up flooring and a layer of sub-floor. I walked 18 holes on Monday, and yesterday I had dental surgery. Feeling good today though.

Warm-up

  • 80′ Lateral Monster Walks
  • 80′ Monster Walks
  • 10 Monster Squats
  • 10 Monster Toe Touches
  • 20 Trunk Twists

Legs

3 Sets

  • 30s Standing BikeErg
  • 10/10 Side Step Lunge (15/12# DBs)
  • 10/10 Front Foot Elevated Split Squat (15/8# DBs)

4 Sets

  • 40m Side Step Sled Pull (115-115-135-135/80#)

Coming back up the driveway is so much more difficult, especially after going down it first.

3 Sets

  • 10 Back Squat + Calf Raises (55#)
  • 10 Calf Raises (55#)
  • 12 alt Twisting High Jumps / 6/6 Kneeling Fire Hydrant/Hurdlers

Jumping was moving my face and mouth too much, so I subbed in the hurdler movement.

3 Sets

  • 16 Goblet Side to Side in Low Position (15#)
  • 6/6 Single Leg High Jumps / Single Leg Step-ups with Knee Drive (18”)

I really liked those step-ups and think they may be better for explosiveness. Took us 37:27.

Mobility

  • 2x 10/10 Banded Press
  • 20 alt Seated Hip Opener Knee Taps
  • 2 Sets
    • 10 Prone PVC Pulldown Behind Neck
    • 10/10 Standing Knee Against PVC with Foot Raise
  • 2x 10/10 Banded Press

Little Break

Damn time change. So dumb. Went to 10am open gym.

Warm-up

  • Monster walks (red band)
  • Steamboats

Put the band around my knees for the monsters walks and it was definitely easier.

Gymnastics

Did some handstand walking for about 10 minutes. After not doing any for a month since my back tweak, I was having a hard time getting comfortable just kicking up.I got one out to 25 feet, but was starting to feel some strain in my back so didn’t do a full 15 minutes of work like usual. I need to just start practicing throughout the week at the gym to gain comfort.

Conditioning

4 Rounds

  • 25 cal Echo Bike
  • 20 Strict HSPU
  • 15 Strict Pull-ups
  • 10 Evil Wheels
  • 4:00 Rest

It was taking me about 1:15-1:20 on the bike and I was able to do 4×5 every round on the handstand push-ups. Pull-ups were all doubles with one triple each round. Had to limit the range of motion to be much shorter than I’d usually go for the evil wheels. My round times were 4:50, 5:16, 5:33, and 5:46.

PT

  • 15/15 Clamshells (4 positions)
  • 15/15 Fire Hydrants
  • 2x 15/15 Single Leg Step Downs (14″)

My left leg (the bad side) is so much weaker on those step downs. I’m feeling a little burnt out from doing the Big 3 every day in addition to all of the PT exercises, so I’m taking a little break for the rest of a the day. I have a session at the PT in the morning.
