Feeling Whooped

Yesterday’s workout knocked us out. I got almost 9 hours of sleep last night. Starting to feel my outer pecs from the deep kip of the toes-to-bars I think.

Warm-up

  • 80′ Lateral Monster Walk
  • 80′ Monster Walk
  • 10 Air Squats
  • Squat Clean
    • 5×95
    • 3×135
    • 2×165

Strength

Shoulder Press

  • 10×45
  • 6×75
  • 4×95
  • 2×115
  • 2×135
  • 2×150
  • 2×157.5

No idea how long we took, but the programming said to work up to a heavy double in 10 minutes.

Conditioning

4 Rounds

  • 400m Run
  • 7 Squat Cleans (175#)

This was programmed with 225 pounds, but I’m nowhere near that level. I belted up on my way in to the garage and left it on the back of the truck on the way down the driveway. My runs got progressive slower. I thought I did a good job of picking the bar back up pretty quick, especially in the last round, which took me about 30 seconds to do the cleans. Finished in 14:06, which went much better than I expected. I think I picked the right weight, because I could keep going, but the squats weren’t exactly easy for me.

Midline

20-20-10

  • V-ups
  • Plank Knee to Elbow
  • Reverse Crunch
  • Side Plank Pulse
  • Side Plank Pulse
  • alt V-up
  • Big Hollow Flutter Kick (single leg raises)
  • Oblique Heel Touch
  • Russian Twist
  • Lying Leg Lift (w/o hip raise)

Another big PR, by 22 seconds with a time of 9:03.

Sitting here almost three hours later, I’m whooped again! Bring on some golf tomorrow.

Quick Partner Intervals

I was whooped last night! Out in the garage at 4pm.

Warm-up

  • 2:00 SkiErg (404m)
  • 80′ Lateral Monster Walks
  • 80′ Monster Walks
  • 10 Air Squats

Conditioning

8 Sets (each, IGYG)

  • 12 cal BikeErg

The lower box and lighter weight was nice for a change and really let me hit the gas. Brandi went first. Each of our first rounds took about 1:50 and B settled in at about a 2:00 pace after that. I got a little faster for a few rounds and then turned it on for the last four, getting down to 1:34 for my final round. Took us 29:42 to finish. I really enjoy workouts like this where I can go-go-go and get a big rest.

Strength

Push Press

  • 5×45
  • 5×95
  • 5×135
  • 3x5x155

The bar felt heavy after 80 thrusters. Did these from the rack, which sucks.

Abs Are Still Sore

Yesterday I finally got back on the golf course after not being out in a month. Last night I was falling asleep on the loveseat and I slept through the night for the first time in like a year! Out in the garage at 4pm but taking it easy for a few days. My abs are still sore from the 110 GHD sit-ups.

I went 244, 247, 250, 251, 251, 252, 251, 252, 252, 253, 252, 252, 252, 254, and 257 meters.

First 2021 Park Workout

Yesterday was too cold for golf so it was a night of lying laminate floor in the living room. My body was hurting throughout the night. Almost 80 tonight, so we went to the park!

Warm-up

  • 10 Ring Kip Swings
  • 10 Air Squats
  • 10 Dumbbell Shoulder Press (10# DBs)
  • 20 High Knees
  • 20 Butt Kicks
  • 1 Muscle-up
  • 20 Arm Circles

Conditioning

18:00 AMRAP – Partner – I Go, You Go Rounds

  • 15 DB Thrusters (20# DBs)
  • 2-4-6-8-10 MU, then 12-14… Ring Pull-up

I went first, controlled through my thrusters, and unbroken through the set of eight muscle-ups. I was hoping to go 4-3-3 for the ten, but it ended up being 4-2-1-1-1-1. So for the next round I called an audible and switched to the ring pull-ups, going unbroken. I got through the 14 pull-ups and there was probably 15-20 seconds left for Brandi, who had already started her thrusters to get through them. Muscle-ups felt ok for not having been up on the rings since November 8th and 30 reps on the first time out is solid. Ring pull-ups are no joke either; I thought I’d bust through them no problem, but the kip is weird and it’s a lot more grip than on the bar, where you can regrip easier.

Nasty little workout. It’s a modification to a Mayhem workout we skipped last week, which was a 10:00 AMRAP of 15 wall balls and 5-10-15… T2B. Not sure if that would have been worse.

Midline

3 Rounds

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

First round at 3:11, second at 6:38, and finished at 10:03. A lot of reps hitting the upper abs.

Tabata 300

My body is beat. We worked out at 10:45 today.

Warm-up

5x400m BikeErg, done in between chest sets.

Chest

3 Sets

  • 10 DB Bench Press (60# DBs)
  • 10 Seated DB Pec Deck (20# DBs)

3 Sets

  • 10 DB Fly (30# DBs)
  • 10 Standing Plate Press (25#)

Conditioning

Keep going until 300 reps are completed

  • 20s Pull-ups
  • 10s Rest
  • 20s Push-ups
  • 10s Rest
  • 20s Reverse Lunges
  • 10s Rest
  • 20s Air Squats
  • 10s Rest

I got 16 pull-ups each full 20 seconds and they felt great! My push-ups actually gave out in the last 2-3 sets, but I’m 99% sure that’s because of the chest work. Lunges and squats are just slow. I finished by getting my last eight pull-ups nine seconds in to round 21, so 10:09. This was a pretty cool workout, with barely enough time to remember what you were doing next before the clock beeped.

Midline

20-20-10

  • V-ups
  • Plank Knee to Elbow
  • Reverse Crunch
  • Side Plank Pulse
  • Side Plank Pulse
  • alt V-up
  • Big Hollow Flutter Kick (single leg raises)
  • Oblique Heel Touch
  • Russian Twist
  • Lying Leg Lift (w/o hip raise)

Were stepping it up from two rounds of 20. I finished the first 20 at 3:57, the second 20 at 8:24, and 10 at 10:23.

Then is was back to my living room project until almost 9pm.

Different Routes to 45

Took a complete rest day yesterday with the workouts coming up over these three days.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 SkiErg (650m)
  • 80′ Lateral Monster Walk
  • 80′ Monster Walk
  • 10 Monster Squats
  • 20 PVC Passes
  • 10 Kip Swings
  • 10 PVC OHS
  • 10 OHS (45#)
  • 5 Kip Swings
  • 5 OHS (75#)

Conditioning

  • 21-15-9
    • OHS (95#)
    • C2B Pull-ups
  • 5:00 Rest
  • 45 OHS (95#)
  • 45 Pull-ups

I literally haven’t done an overhead squat in over a year, except for some warm-ups a couple of weeks ago before squat snatches. This was supposed to be chest-to-bar pull-ups again for the 45, but that would have taken me a long time so I scaled back to pull-ups to keep up my intensity. I went 12-9, 9-6, and 9 on my overhead squats and 8-7-6, 6-5-4, and 4-2-3 for my chest-to-bars. Finished that at 5:47. Then I went 13-12-10-10 and 10-10-10-5-5-5 on my pull-ups to finish at 16:46. Kept my intensity up so that was a good call for the pull-ups. I did wear a belt with so many overhead squats, which actually felt pretty good. Overall this went much better than I expected.

Midline

E2M – 5 Rounds

  • 16 alt V-ups
  • 16 Leg Lifts
  • 16/16 Side Plank Bounces

We’ve done this with 14s before at the park and my notes had said we could do 16s. I was getting 42-45 seconds of rest each round.

Singles Suck

Worked on the house all weekend, replacing a sliding door with a big window and tearing down the sunroom. My body was beat, so Monday stayed the usual rest day. It was too cold and ended up raining for golf yesterday too. Out in the garage at 4pm.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 SkiErg (667m)
  • 3 Sets
    • 40′ Tip Toe Walk
    • 10 Calf Raises
    • 10 PVC Passes
  • Deadlift
    • 10×45
    • 10×135
    • 5×165

Conditioning

  • 50 cal Row
  • 75 DU
  • 35 Strict HSPU
  • 75 DU
  • 20 Deadlifts (185#)
  • 75 DU
  • 35 HSPU
  • 75 DU
  • 50 cal Row

It was programmed to be strict HSPU twice, but I knew that would take me forever, so I kipped the second time. I also scaled down from 275# on the deadlifts. I held 1,200+ cal/hr on the row. I missed or stopped 2-3 times each 75 dumbs except for going 70-5 the last time. My strict went quick, doing 5-5-3 and then singles, which took sooo long. Deadlifts felt pretty good and I thought about doing 10 every time I picked up the bar, but stuck to four sets of five. I was able to stick to 7×5 for the kipping handstand push-ups. Finished in 19:45.

Legs

3 Sets

  • 10/10 Lateral Step-up w/ Knee Raise (20”, 40# DB)

3 Sets

  • 10/10 Step-ups w/ Knee Raise (20”, 40# DB)

  • 20 V-ups
  • 20 Plank Knee to Elbow
