Friday Hour

My abs are finally not sore! My shoulders, upper back, and triceps are feeling the Murph prep though and my knees feel a bit odd today. Out in the garage at 4pm. I did some PVC passes to loosen up a little.

Back

3 Sets

  • 15 Seated Wide Grip Horizontal Row (93-104-104#)
  • 15 Incline Back Fly (20# DBs)

3 Sets

  • 15 Seated Double Handle Row (104#)

Higher rep back work to help with Murph volume.

Conditioning

  • 50 Sit-ups
  • 50 Handstand Push-ups
  • 50 Sit-ups
  • 50 Push Press (95/65)
  • 50 Sit-ups

Heavily modified Mayhem workout, which was 30 GHD sit-ups throughout and had the push presses first. I knew doing the HSPU second would have been a disaster. I hoped to be able to do 5×10 on the HSPU but in the second set I quickly realized that would be a bad choice. I did 10, 5×6, and 2×5, taking over five minutes to get through them! For the push presses I was able to gut out 5×10. Nice to get a barbell back in our hands for pressing when it feels like we’ve used the dumbbells a lot lately. Finished in 14:29.

Everything done in under an hour and it was one of those workouts where lifting my arms in the shower after was a struggle.

More Double Dumbbells

Was thinking about doing some rowing intervals, but I wasn’t feeling well in the afternoon, so it became a complete rest day. I had today off work to prep a bunch of stuff for work on the living room and sunroom all weekend. Out in the garage just before 4pm.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 SkiErg (669m)
  • 80′ Lateral Monster Walks
  • 80′ Monster Walks
  • 6 Double DB Hang Power Cleans (35#)
  • 6 Double DB Push Press (35#)
  • 12 Pendlay Row (45#)

Conditioning

6 Rounds

  • 12 Double DB Hang Power Cleans (50/35s)
  • 12 Double DB Push Press (50/35s)
  • 24 Sit-ups

My plan was to split the push presses up to 6-6 or 7-5 from the start but they felt good so I went for it. Finally had to break for the last 5 of them. Finished in 11:10. Really happy with how this went. I thought the push presses were going to be really bad after the way there were in that Qualifier workout I had tried.

Back

3 Sets

  • 12 Lat Pulldowns (115#)
  • 12 Pendlay Rows (95#)

This was a really tough superset after the workout.

3 Sets

  • 12 Straight Arm Lat Pulldowns (60#)
  • 12 Incline Back Fly (25# DBs)

Midline

4 Rounds

  • 20s Weighted Toe Reach (35# DB)

I did 15 toe reaches, 36 bicycles, 12 pull throughs, and 20 hollow rocks every round. This was rough after 144 sit-ups!

11 Seconds Better

Back to work after the holidays yesterday and I needed the full rest day. In the garage at 4pm today.

Warm-up

  • 5:00 BikeErg (2,531m)
  • 80′ Lateral Monster Walks
  • 80′ Monster Walks
  • 8 Landmine Squats (45#)
  • 16 Plyo Lunges

  • 8 Plyo Lunges (20# DBs)
  • 4 Landmine Squats (135#)
  • 8 Plyo Lunges (25# DBs)
  • 4 Landmine Squats (160#)
  • 8 Landmine Single Leg Romanian Deadlifts (90#)
  • 5 Back Squat Jumps (45#)

Legs

4 Sets

  • 8 Landmine Squats (175-185-195-200#)
  • 16 DB Plyo Lunges (30# DBs)

For the last two sets I didn’t want to try cleaning the bar up so did my first rep from the dead stop at the bottom. Made a nasty superset even worse.

4 Sets

  • 8/8 Landmine Single Leg RDL (110#)
  • 10 Back Squat Jumps (95#)

Did the RDLs with the weight out to the side today. Was more comfortable, except then I was holding the fat end of the bar. I should have used the club grip!

Conditioning

Support Your Local Box Fundraiser #3

  • 50 DB Deadlifts (50/35# DBs)
  • 50 AbMat Sit-ups (no arms)
  • 50 Step-ups (24/20″)
  • 50 Single Arm DB Thrusters (50/35#)

I never really stopped on the deadlifts and went 10-10-10-10-5-5 on the step-ups. For the thrusters I switched arms without ever putting the dumbbell down. Started with my right arm and my sets were 10-10-10-5-7-8. My left shoulder did not feel good with these and really slowed me down. I should have stuck to sets of 5 the whole way through like I did last time. Still good enough for an 11 second PR though, with a time of 7:45.

Destroying Angie

My low back is a little tight from yesterday and my ankles are still tight from the broad jumps. In the garage at 4pm.

Warm-up

  • 10:00 BikeErg (5,060m)
  • 20 PVC Passes

Conditioning

“Angie”

  • 100 Pull-ups
  • 100 Push-ups
  • 100 Sit-ups
  • 100 Air Squats

Been almost three years since I’ve done this workout. My best time was 20:40 from late 2014, at 1.5 miles above sea level in Colorado and I did 22:27 in January of 2018.

I was confident I could set a nice PR today by being more aggressive on the pull-ups and push-ups. I definitely work grips and shaved my calluses earlier. I started out doing a set of 10 pull-ups every 30 seconds and made it through 60. Then I did 5 more butterfly before switching to sets of 5 with a gymnastics kip, eventually dropping to 4s, to finish at 5:18, which was almost 2 minutes faster that when I set my PR. I did four sets of 10 push-ups and then all 5s to get done at 9:18, almost 4 minutes ahead of my PR pace! Sit-ups were kind of slow and were done at 13:03. Kept moving on the squats and was done at 16:10 for a 4:30 PR!!

Handstands

  • 2×5 Kick-ups (bad leg)
  • 2×5 Kick-ups (good leg)

Upper body was a bit tired so we didn’t do what was planned. This was enough. It’s hard being upside down and trying to balance when you’re tired!

Midline

4 Sets

  • 20/20s Weighted Side Plank (30#)
  • 20s Superman Hold
  • 10/10 Side Bends (70# KB)

No joke here!

Legs

3 Sets

  • 10/10 Single Leg RDL (foot on wall, 70# KB)
  • 10/10 Single Leg Glute Bridge (2s pause)

Don’t Forget

I got about 9 hours of sleep last night! Workout at 4pm.

Warm-up

  • 5:00 SkiErg (1,077m)

Handstand Balance Breakthrough
Forgot to do any wrist warm-up. Whoops!

The tuck balance felt much better than the first time we did them. The hold was only programmed as 15 seconds, but that seems like a waste of time, so we did a minute.

3 Sets

  • 12 EZ Bar Preacher Curls (56-66-66#)

2 Rounds

  • 200m Run

  • 40 Double Unders
  • 45 Hollow Scissor Kicks

I went 20-5 and 10-5-5-5 on the toes-to-bars and wasn’t wearing any grips. My double unders were not very good today. Went 30-15 on both sets of scissor kicks. Finished in 14:06.
