Tag: Single Arm Dumbbell Lunge

Over the Dumbbell

Out in the garage a little after 12.

Back

4 Sets

  • 8 Lat Pulldowns (lean back, 126-131-131-131#)
  • 8 Seated Bent Over DB Rows (45-50-50-50# DBs)

4 Sets

  • 8 Straight Arm Pulldown (71#)
  • 8 DB Bent Over Back Fly (35-40-40-40# DBs)

4 Sets

  • 8 Double Handle Pulldowns (137#)
  • 8 DB Shrugs (60# DBs)

Weightlifting

I warmed up with 8×45, 4×75, and 4×95 pound snatches.

  • 5:00 EMOM – 4 Power Snatch (115#)
  • 4:00 EMOM – 6 Power Snatch (115#)
  • 1:00 EMOM – 8 Power Snatch (115#)

Conditioning

3 Rounds

  • 15/15 Single DB Lunges (50# on shoulder)
  • 15 Over the DB Burpees

I kept the dumbbell on one shoulder and lunged with that leg for 15 reps before switching to the other shoulder and leg. The burpees were much harder than over the barbell for some reason. Maybe because a dumbbell is wider? Or because I was making sure to jump over it instead of in front or behind it? Or maybe because the lunges were killing me. Finished in 7:04.

Paintathon

Spent all day painting yesterday so didn’t get in a workout. Made sure to get it in today at 10am.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 BikeErg (1,550m)
  • 80′ Lateral Monster Walk
  • 80′ Monster Walk
  • Power Cleans
    • 10×45#
    • 5×95
    • 3×135
    • 2×155
    • 2×175
    • 1-1×195

Weightlifting

E20S – 12:00

  • 1 Clean (205#)

My back is pretty tight from yesterday, so I wanted to be careful with the load. It felt solid.

Midline

2 Rounds

  • 10/10 Banded Rotations & Holds (blue)
  • 10/10/10/10/10 MB Toss Series (20#)

Conditioning

20:00 AMRAP – Partner

  • 40 Single Arm DB Lunges (50/35#)
  • 20 Burpees over the Bar
  • 20 Single Arm Box Step Overs (24/20″, 50/35#)

B and I split the reps down the middle all the way. Since it was a single dumbbell for the lunges, we decided to do 10/10 instead of alternating legs each rep. It was a nice change. My burpees felt quick. I switched hands with the dumbbell after five step-ups. I started and we got through 5+37.

Off to help with more painting and electrical work.
