My upper abs are pretty sore from those bench bicycles already.

36:00 EMOM (alt)

  • 26 Seated Leg Lifts over DB + 30 Plank Hip Dips

Unusually warm for mid-December, so we even opened up the back door of the garage for a bit. Though we still pre-heated the garage.

Day of IBEX

My glutes are really sore from yesterday, which must have been the Bulgarian split squats. It was really cold in the garage so we tried to get warmed up with the workout first.

Conditioning

  • 30 DB Floor Presses (25# DBs)
  • 25 Hang DB Cleans (25# DBs)
  • 20 Lunges
  • 10 Burpees to Plate (45# comp)

We modified (due to B’s back) an IBEX piece here. I split the floor presses in half each round and went unbroken on the other movements. Finished in 14:38.

Biceps

3 Sets

  • 20 Barbell Curls (35#)
  • 30 alt DB Curls (15#)

Another IBEX workout, though we didn’t do a 4th round.

Midline

3 Rounds

  • 15 Leg Lifts
  • 15 DB OH Crunches (50#)

Might as well make it 3/3 with some core work from IBEX as well.

Big MU Sets

  • 15 cal Row
  • Rest

Oophhh! Wrote this for 30 minutes, but after all of the pull-ups the day before we were feeling it in our lats. Barely made it through the fifth round of unbroken muscle-ups, so that was a good place to end it.

Midline

5 Rounds

  • 50m Suitcase Carry (70#)
  • 40 OH Plate Flutter Kicks (25#)
  • 30 Russian Twists (25# plate)
  • 20 Plank Jumps (feet narrow to wide)

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

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.

Shoulder Still Not Ready

My shoulder area and back were tight this morning from the snatches, but nothing horrible. I can feel my hammies from the leg work. Out in the garage at 4pm.

Warm-up

2 Rounds

  • 10 cal SkiErg
  • 30s Dead Hang
  • 10 Lunges
  • 10 DB Push Press (20# DBs)

Conditioning

16:00 AMRAP

  • 10 Strict Pull-ups
  • 20 DB Goblet Lunges (50#)
  • 20 cal Row
  • 10 Hand Release Push-ups

I did three rounds of 5×2 and two rounds of 2×2 plus 6×1 for the pull-ups. Averaged just over 1,200 cal/hr on the rower. Finished with 4+21.

I wanted to do 10 handstand push-ups for the last movement, but I kicked up and did one before the workout and my shoulder still isn’t ready. To be honest I probable shouldn’t hake picked the push-ups because those didn’t feel awesome either.

Midline

4 Rounds

  • 10 OH Crunches (50# DBs, 2s pause)
  • 30s Sandbag Hold (100#)
  • 7/7 Hip Abducted Evil Wheels

Took about 17 minutes to do without breaks.

I had something different planned, but had to change it to remove any upper body stuff. Got faster as I went and finished 5+17.

Bring on a complete rest day!

Another Killer 30 EMOM

Yep, my legs and ass are sore. Out in the garage at 4.

  • 24 H2H KBS (53#)
  • 24 Lunges

Opfhhh, that was another grind. Going in I was thinking 12 ring rows and 20 cal, but I changed those when I was doing the first round of each and it worked out to be a perfect adjustment. I’m really starting to like these 30 minute EMOMs.

Upping the ante on the three rounds of 25 reps of each, which ends up being five more reps of each movement. Took me 9:40 compared to compared to 9:34 for the three rounds.

I finished up with Crossover Symmetry Recovery.

Legs Legs Legs Legs

With a lot of reps on Tuesday and Thursday that hit the low back, I knew not to hit that area very much today. Didn’t sleep worth a shit, so I rested up, took a nap, and worked out in the afternoon.

That’s enough for today with how I’m feeling.
