Sort of a partner workout, with the 2nd person waiting until you were off the machine. Then if you got your movement reps done you had a brief wait until your partner finished their machine. I went first and B finished at 22:35.

  • 26 Swimmer Crunches
  • 26 Crunches

Conditioning

6 Rounds

  • 2:00 BikeErg
  • 3:00 Rest

Midline

3 Rounds

  • 30 Swimmer Crunches
  • 30 Crunches
  • 30 Leg Lifts
  • 30 Single Leg Lifts
  • 30 Plank Hip Dips

Finished in 9:02, 1:01 faster than the first time we did this with 30s!

Feeling 21.2

My shoulders and back (lower and upper) are really tight this morning. Out in the garage at 11.

Chest

  • 10 Incline Bench Press (45#)
  • 4 Sets
    • 8 Incline Bench Press (95-105-115-125#)
    • 12 DB Pullover (50#)

3 Sets

  • 15 Incline DB Bench Press (40#)
  • 12 Incline DB Fly (20#)
  • 10 Incline Plate Presses (35#)

Conditioning

30:00 AMRAP – Partner

  • 4x 3/2 Strict Pull-ups
  • 12 Seated Leg Lifts over DB
  • 12 OH Crunch (55# plate)
  • 2×10 Lunges / DB RDLs
  • 2x 8/5 cal BikeErg (standing)

This was a good sweater and those pull-ups were hard. The way this worked was B and I alternated between me doing 3 pull-ups and her doing 2 until we each went twice. Then we each did 12 leg lifts and 12 crunches. I did 10 lunges and she did 10 RDLs, twice. Then we each got on the bike twice doing 8/5 calories respectively. It was a really good variation.

No Ring Support

My back was tight getting out of bed this morning, my legs are feeling yesterday for sure, and my shoulder is shit. I hit 100% of my sleep need though! Out in the garage at 3:30.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 SkiErg (695m)
  • Crossover Symmetry Activation

Chest & Triceps

Incline Bench Press

  • 10×45#
  • 10×75
  • 15×95
  • 12×115
  • 10×125
  • 8×135

3 Sets

  • 15 Incline DB Bench Press (45# DBs)
  • 12 Incline Fly (25# DBs)
  • 10 Incline Plate Press (35#)

I’m so glad I didn’t grab the 50s! With heating up the garage, a lot of the equipment gets condensation, so those plate presses got sketchy.

3 Sets

  • 12 DB Pull Over (50-60-60#)

Couldn’t even support myself on the rings so super setting with MAX Strict Ring Dips was a no go. ☹️

3 Sets

  • 12 Tricep Pulldown (rope, 60-65-65#)
  • 12 EZ Bar Skull Crusher (56-61-66#)

Conditioning

E3M – 4 Rounds

  • 500m Row

I fucked up trying to coast in way too early on the last two rounds. Otherwise I think I would have had negative splits. Live and learn. My times were 1:35.0, 1:34.7, 1:35.5, and 1:35.0.

I planned to do Crossover Symmetry Recovery, but I was wiped out after those rows.
