Partner Plate Arms

  • Plate OH Hold (35#)
  • 10->1 Plate Curl (35#)
  • 10->1 Plate OH Tricep Extension (35#)

We did this a month and a half ago and 45# was horrible. This was a lot more manageable and still a great little workout.

  • 30-20-10 H2H KBS (53#)

Haven’t done any cleans in quite some time, so bouncing from the hang felt weird and my hands didn’t know what to do with the hook grip. Finished in 4:17.

Accessory

3 Sets

  • 10/10 Kroc Rows
  • 10 Strict Ring Dips

After a Week Off

Spent five nights in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We didn’t workout at all but did over 8.5 miles of walking each of the first two full days there! Today was our first workout in a week and I can’t remember the last time I took a full week off! Out in the garage just before 1pm. Warmed up with 20 PVC passes.

Strength

Bench Press

  • 10×45
  • 10×95
  • 5×135
  • 5×165
  • 5×185
  • 5×200
  • 5×215
  • 5×225

Partner Arms

  • Plate OH Hold (45/25#)
  • 10->1 Plate Curl (45/25#)
  • 10->1 Plate OH Tricep Extension (45/25#)

This one came from Scott Panchik. One partner is doing the couplet while the other holds their plate overhead; you never put the plate down! Took us 5:08 to get through and my arms and shoulders were on fire!

Conditioning

4 Rounds

  • 200m Run
  • 15 Burpees
  • 20 Russian KBS (45#)

  • 20 alt Side Crunches
  • 14 Leg Lifts
  • 20 Bicycles (slow)
