Tag: Pigeon Pose (Box)

Five & Two

Walked 18 holes yesterday and was exhausted from the round taking 5 hours in the heat and humidity. Went to the 4pm class today.

Warm-up

  • Dead Hang
  • Bottom Squat Hold
  • 400m Run
  • Line Drills
  • 2 Sets
    • 10 Kip Swings
    • 10 PVC Passes

Conditioning

5 Rounds

  • 500m Row
  • 35 Air Squats
  • 7 Bar Muscle-ups
  • 1:30 Rest

I pulled just under 1:48 for the first 3 rounds. Then I was feeling some fatigue kick in so I went just over a 1:50 and finally 1:52. My air squats weren’t speedy, but I kept moving and got full range of motion on the top and bottom of each rep. Going in, I thought about trying for unbroken muscle-ups at least in the first set. I’ve done 6 on the bar but never even attempted 7. In that first round I got to 5 and felt like that was sufficient for surviving all 35 reps, which ranks up there with the most I’ve done in a day. I was able to do 5-2 every round. My round times were 3:36 – 3:46 – 3:52 – 3:53 – 4:05, so the clock was at 25:12 when I finished.

Mobility

  • 2:00/2:00 Pigeon stretch on top of box

Damn my outer hips are really tight in this stretch!

Roided Cindy

Last night I finished building a Bluetooth speaker for the garage gym. I can’t wait for my next workout to use it. It to the gym at noon.

Warm-up – 3 Sets

  • 5 Scap Pull-ups
  • 5 Bar Taps
  • 10 Supinated Pendlay Rows (95#)
  • 20 Lateral Bar Hops

Some light movement prep for the workout.

Conditioning

I made this one up several months ago and finally got to it. The idea was to make a herder version of “Cindy” without adding a weight vest or weighted movements; keep everything bodyweight.

“Cindy on Roids” – 20:00 AMRAP

  • 5 Bar Muscle-ups
  • 10 Handstand Push-ups
  • 15 Squat Box Jumps (20″)

I wore my grips without the fingers through so I could rotate them around for the HSPU. Went 3-2 on the bar every time except round 2 where I was slipping and thought I might fly off the bar so I had to go 3-1-1. Did the first round of HSPU unbroken and then 5-5 every other round. The squat box jumps are just slow and taxing. I did jump them all today. Glad I decided to set prescribe a lower box height. Made it through 6+20.

For someone who can keep the bar gymnastics work unbroken, I think 10+ is doable.

Midline

2 Rounds of 45s/15s

  • Leg raises
  • Sit-ups
  • Bicycles
  • Flutter kicks
  • Plank

Brandi came up with this to help with her police academy prep. 45 seconds is a long time for bicycles and flutter kicks. My reps were 20-23-66-100 and 22-22-65-100 and unbroken on the planks. I counted each side as a rep for the bicycles and flutters.

3 Rounds

  • 20m Spiderman Crawl
  • 20s/20s Side Plank
  • 20m Crab Walk
  • 20s Table Top Hold
  • 20m Samson Walking Lunge
  • 20s/20s Pigeon Pose on Box

That Pigeon stretch really pulls on my hips.

Happy New Year!

Some Squats

Went to the 4:30 class.

Warm-up – 3 Sets

  • 10 Air Squats
  • 10 Ring Rows (w/ pauses at top and bottom)
  • 20 Walking Lunges

Tried to hold for a second at the top, but not easy to do.

Strength – Front Squat

  • 10×45#
  • 6×115
  • 4×165
  • 2×195
  • 2×215
  • 2×225
  • 2×235
  • 2×245
  • 2×235
  • 2×225

Starting wearing the belt with 195 or 215. Kept my reps controlled and tried not to bounce much out of the bottom. Felt pretty good. Haven’t lifted anything like that since July.

Conditioning

15:00 AMRAP

  • 5 Push Jerks (115#)
  • 7 American KBS (62#)
  • 9 Front Squats (115#)
  • 11 Russian KBS (62#)
  • 13 Deadlifts (115#)

I scaled back from 135# since it was 15 minutes of all weighted movements. Went with the 62 pound kettlebell though. I rested way too much as I do when it’s all you can eat at the weight buffet. Everything was unbroken and I wore my belt the entire time. Finished 5+22.
