Calf Strikes Again

Warm-up

  • 20 PVC Passes
  • 3 Sets
    • 40′ Tip toe Walk
    • 10 Calf Raises

Back

4 Sets

  • 12/8 cal Row
  • 12 DB Seal Rows (30#)

4 Sets

  • 12/8 cal SkiErg
  • 12 Lat Pulldowns (93#)

Conditioning

10 Rounds (each)

  • 30 Double Unders
  • 5 Burpees

Partner with B, each doing a round at a time. My right calf blew out after about 15 dubs in round 8 and I went to the ground. So I did 10 burpees to finish out the last two rounds. B was cruising and doing about 42 singles on the jump rope. We finished in 11:41.

Midline

3 Rounds

  • 20 Leg Lifts
  • 20 OH DB Crunches (60#)
  • 14 Plank DB Pull Throughs (60#)

Good one from IBEX. Took me 7:16.

Cardio Pumped Back

Last night we finished up with the rocks around the outdoor gym area. This morning spent several hours organizing the non-gym side of the garage.

Conditioning

We went for the run around the soccer fields and back home, which is 2.72 miles. We did it in 28:30 today which is about 90 seconds better. Brandi was feeling good, but I was dying because I hadn’t eaten enough. Slammed a coke and had some rice cakes when we got home.

Back

4 Sets

  • 12/8 cal Row
  • 12 DB Seal Rows (30#)

Not much rest here because you went again as soon as the other person got off the rower. Really felt the burn with the dumbbells.

4 Sets

  • 12/8 cal SkiErg
  • 12 Lat Pulldowns (104-104-93-93#)

Same thing here with slightly more rest because the calories take longer. This one really stung though and I had to drop weight even though I’d already gone lower than I usually would.

These supersets were an idea I came up with and they worked much better than I ever expected. Will have to keep them in the rotation for a bit.

No Bueno Taco Bell

Warm-up

  • 80′ Lateral Monster Walks
  • 80′ Monster Walks
  • 10 Monster Squats
  • 10 Toe Touches
  • 10 Front Squats (45#)

Legs

4 Sets

  • 12-10-8-6 Front Squats (105-115-125-135#)
  • 20 Pulsing Goblet Squats (45#)

Went up 10# of each set of front squats. Felt much easier than last week. I did wear the belt again.

4 Sets

  • 10 Barbell Glute Bridge (95#) + 2 Banded Hip Abduction
  • 15 Banded Frog Reverse Hypers

Went 20# heavier than last week and it was no problem.

Conditioning

30:00 AMRAP

  • 10 Pull-ups
  • 15 cal Row
  • 10 DB Push Press (50#)
  • 15 cal BikeErg
  • 10 Renegade Rows (50#)
  • 15 cal SkiErg

I should not have gotten that Taco Bell for lunch! I was able to go unbroken for the movements, but I felt gassed on the machines. Only needed five more calories to finish the 6th round. This workout got me.

Muscle-ups at Home!

Ran some errands this morning and workout around 10.

Warm-ups

  • 80′ Lateral Monster Walks
  • 80′ Monster Walks
  • 10 Air Squats
  • Lunge Stretch
  • 10 Bench Press (45#)
  • 10 Tricep Pushdowns (38#)

Conditioning

6 Rounds (IGYG)

  • 12/8 cal Standing BikeErg
  • 10 Plyo Lunges
  • 10 Squat Jumps
  • 10 Reverse Lunges

We’re going to try getting back to doing a leg burner once a week and this definitely did the trick! B went first and it took us 16:55 to finish. I walk 3:00 on the TrueForm for 0.32 km to help flush out my legs some.

20:00 EMOM (alt)

  • 10 Bench Press (95#)
  • 12/8 cal SkiErg
  • 15 Tricep Pushdowns (49#, spin bar)
  • 50 Mountain Climbers

Going from the SkiErg to the push downs was a real burn, especially for 15 reps.

Got some breakfast and then worked on the outdoor gym, getting the bar mounted, so I had to get in a muscle-up!

Then we set the third and final post.

Quick Partner Intervals

I was whooped last night! Out in the garage at 4pm.

Warm-up

  • 2:00 SkiErg (404m)
  • 80′ Lateral Monster Walks
  • 80′ Monster Walks
  • 10 Air Squats
  • Dead Hang / Shoulder Stretching
  • 8 DB Thrusters (15#)
  • 8 DB Thrusters (25#)

Conditioning

8 Sets (each, IGYG)

  • 12 cal BikeErg
  • 10 DB Thrusters (35#)
  • 8 Burpee Box Jump Overs (20″)

The lower box and lighter weight was nice for a change and really let me hit the gas. Brandi went first. Each of our first rounds took about 1:50 and B settled in at about a 2:00 pace after that. I got a little faster for a few rounds and then turned it on for the last four, getting down to 1:34 for my final round. Took us 29:42 to finish. I really enjoy workouts like this where I can go-go-go and get a big rest.

Strength

Push Press

  • 5×45
  • 5×95
  • 5×135
  • 3x5x155

The bar felt heavy after 80 thrusters. Did these from the rack, which sucks.

Midline

2 Rounds

  • 30s Hollowbody Knee Tucks (alt, alt, both w/ 12# DBs OH)
  • 10s Rest
  • 30s OH Leg Lifts (12# DBs)
  • 10s Rest
  • 30s Jack Knife (12# DB)
  • 10s Rest
  • 30s V-sit Up and Over DB
    10s Rest

Did two rounds today instead of three since the other stuff took awhile. I got 17-13-16-30 both rounds.

Abs Are Still Sore

Yesterday I finally got back on the golf course after not being out in a month. Last night I was falling asleep on the loveseat and I slept through the night for the first time in like a year! Out in the garage at 4pm but taking it easy for a few days. My abs are still sore from the 110 GHD sit-ups.

Conditioning

15 Rounds

  • 1:00 SkiErg
  • 1:00 Rest

I went 244, 247, 250, 251, 251, 252, 251, 252, 252, 253, 252, 252, 252, 254, and 257 meters.

Midline

3 Rounds

  • 30s Hollowbody Knee Tucks (alt, alt, both w/ 12# DBs OH)
  • 10s Rest
  • 30s OH Leg Lifts (12# DBs)
  • 10s Rest
  • 30s Jack Knife (12# DB)
  • 10s Rest
  • 30s V-sit Up and Over DB
  • 10s Rest

This was from DLB, but she seemed to have removed the Instagram post. I went 21 each time on the tucks, 12-12-14 on the leg lifts, 15-15-16 on the jack knives, and 20-26-32 on the up and overs

Sweat & Breathe

Yesterday it ended up raining on and off most of the day, so I obviously didn’t golf. Out in the garage at 4pm.

Hung up my shorty rope and did a refresher on how to climb a rope using my legs because I probably hadn’t done it in two or three years. At the old gym the ceiling was like 12-13 feet and the reps were usually small whenever the movement came up, so I’d always go legless. Got the hang of it enough to survive AGOQ Event2

30:00 EMOM (alt)

  • 15 cal Row
  • 15 cal BikeErg
  • 12 cal SkiErg

Took 40-45 seconds each and got progressively faster.

More Overhead Squats and Thrusters

Out in the garage shortly after 9am so we can get out of town for the day.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 SkiErg (594m)
  • 2:00 TrueForn Run (0.28 km)
  • 4 Sets
    • 40’ Tip Toe Walk
    • 10 Calf Raises
    • 10 PVC Passes
  • 20 DU
  • 10 OHS (45#)
  • 5 OHS (95#)

Conditioning

  • 3 Rounds
    • 10 OHS (115)
    • 50 DU
  • 3 Rounds
    • 10 Thrusters (95)
    • 50 DU

I scaled the overhead squats down from 135 pounds due to where I’m at with getting back in to these movements, but I kept the thrusters at the Rx weight. The OHS and thrusters felt surprisingly good. I only missed twice on the rope. Finished in 8:59 and could have saved a lot of time with a better setup and quicker changing of the plates. Happy with my effort and performance though.
