Tag: Single Arm Dumbbell Thruster

Three Days

My glutes were feeling the leg workout a bit yesterday. I walked 18 holes.

Warm-up

2 Sets

  • 4 Openers (20s hold)
  • 10 Wall Slides
  • 10 Reverse Pattern on ball (5s hold)

Conditioning

3 Sets

  • BikeErg (4,883m)
  • 20 KB RDLs OR 10/10 Single leg RDL hand supported on side (30/20#)
  • 15 Perfect Push-ups
  • 20 Seated Piked Foot Claps

3 Sets

  • Row (2,048m)
  • 20 alt Dumbbell Thrusters (15/10#)
  • 16 Combo Laterals (front + side, 8/5#)
  • 20 Plank Jacks

In the first set B went outside to move a trash can, so didn’t get a lot of rowing done.

3 Sets

  • BikeErg (5,207m)
  • 8/8 Slider Hamstring Curls (one leg raised)
  • 10 Inverted Bar Rows
  • 16 Plank to Downward Dog

I did my thrusters sitting down to the bench, to protect my back. It was really humid today, so a lot of sweating! We finished in 38:11. Then we did a quick five minutes or so of hip mobility.

On to the three day weekend!

That Feel

Partner Chipper

  • 40 Strict HSPU
  • 60 Burpee Box Get Overs (42”
  • 80 Single Arm DB Thrusters (30#)
  • 100 Pull-ups
  • 120 cal Row
  • 100 Push-ups
  • 80 Air Squats
  • 60 T2B (10-10-5-5)

We alternated doing 5s for the HSPU. I went unbroken for three of my sets and then had to do 2-1-1-1. Since we were keeping the box at one height we alternated between me doing six and Brandi doing four. For the thrusters we each did 10 at a time, five per arm. The pull-ups were 10 sets of six for me and four for B. These wrecked me! I got on the rower and couldn’t even pull 900 cal/hr my first time. But then I was able to catch my breath. We split those up doing six rounds of 12/8 calories. I did 10-10-10-12-12-10 push-ups while B was doing sixes. We each did 20 squats twice. Then to close it out were sets of ten toes to bars. Took us 34:14 and I was not feeling very good for the next hour.

Starting Chest Week 4

Warm-up

  • 20 PVC Passes
  • Bench Press
    • 10×45
    • 10×95
    • 6×120
    • 4×140

Chest

MAX Bench Press (160/80#)

Felt good and got 26 reps.

MAX Perfect Push-ups

I don’t think I’ve ever used something like these, but B brought them over, so might as well try. I didn’t rotate them much, but it is several inches deeper. I got 32 reps

3 Sets

  • 14 Seated DB Shoulder Press (elbows out, 40#)

These felt much better than the 12×40 I was doing in the first week.

40 DB Bench Press (60/30#)

My game plan was all fives and I stuck too it, though the last two sets were hard! Finished in 2:06.

Conditioning

2 Rounds

  • 700m Run
  • 30 Single Arm DB Thruster (25#)

Did 15 unbroken on each arm. Finished in 9:29.
