5×3 More

Later start at 11 this morning so I could work on a project in the basement.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 BikeErg (1,532m)
  • 80′ Lateral Monster Walks
  • 80′ Monster Walks

Weightlifting

E40S – 10:00

  • 3 Power Cleans (10 @ 185, 5 @ 195)

Thrilled with that since about a month ago I did an EMOM of 3, using 185 for five rounds and 195 for five rounds. So this was an extra 5x3x185 in the same amount of time!

Conditioning

Partner WOD

  • 4 Rounds (each)
    • 15/10 cal SkiErg
    • 16 Single DB Box Step Overs (24/20″, 50/35#)
  • 4 Rounds (each)
    • 200/150m TrueForm Run
    • 24 Russian KBS (53/35#)

With Brandi, doing a round of the couplet while the other person rested. She went first and it took us 13:42 for the first couplet and a total of 25:38 or 11:56 for the second couplet. The first one was much worse, with the step overs really adding up.

Accessory Wipeout

Warm-up

  • 3:00 SkiErg (656m)

Conditioning

5 Rounds each (do entire round, while partner does holds)

  • 8 Burpee Box Get Overs (48/38″) / 1:00 Bottom Squat Hold
  • 15/10 cal Row / 35s Glute Bridge Hold
  • 30 Plyo Lunges / 40s Plank

Brandi went first, so I was in the hold first. Took us 27:13.

Accessory

4 Sets

  • 120/120′ Suitcase Carry (70# KB)
  • 8 Evil Wheels
  • 12 Double DB Skull Crushers (30# DBs)

I had energy until this accessory work, which kind of wiped me out!

Pull Ski and Run Squat

Workout 4pm.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 Row (753m)
  • 3 Rounds
    • 10 PVC Passes
    • 10/10 Single Leg Calf Raises
    • 20 Lateral Hops

Skill

8 Rounds (Tabata)

  • 20s Double Unders
  • 10s Rest

I think I missed twice and got a total of 268 reps.

Conditioning

4 Rounds

  • MAX Wide Strict Pull-ups
  • 15/10 cal SkiErg
  • 2:00 Rest

I got 10-10-9-9 pull-ups and my round times were 1:38 – 1:24 – 1:22 – 1:21.

10 Rounds

  • 1:30
    • 1:00 TrueForm Run
    • Max Air Squats
  • 1:30 Rest

Felt the first round was way too fast on the runner, but I almost got back to that pace by the end. I think my legs and hips loosened up a lot for the squats. Here are my distances and squat counts.

Mobility

2 Sets

  • 30-30s Eagle Arms
  • 30s Dead Hang Partner Push

Cycling AMRAPs

Not enough sleep again. I did take a 35 minute nap this afternoon though. Workout at 4.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 SkiErg (696m)
  • 3 Sets
    • 10 Air Squats
    • 10 PVC Passes
    • 10 Scap Push-ups
  • 30 Hops

Conditioning

3 Cycles

  • 4:00 AMRAP
    • 18 Russian KBS (53/35#)
    • 12/8 cal BikeErg (standing)
  • 2:00 Rest
  • 4:00 AMRAP
    • 30 DU
    • 12/8 cal Row
  • 2:00 Rest

This really escalated! I missed a double under in three of the four sets in cycle one, went all unbroken in cycle two, and missed in two sets of cycle three. Need to get rid of those misses before the Open! Going between the two different AMRAPs was a fun way to mix it up. My scores for the first one were 3+6, 3+15, and 3+18 and for the second they were 3+30, 3+34, and 3+35.

Midline

3 Sets

  • 20 OH Leg Lifts (25# DB)
  • 20 Seated Leg Lifts over DB
  • 20 OH Sit-ups (25# DB)
  • 20 Plank Hip Dips
  • 1:00 Plank
  • 1:00 Rest

I don’t remember the last time a plank felt so difficult! In sets 2-3 I had to take a 10 second rest after the hip dips and I went to my hands because my position on the elbows was failing. I was able to do the other movements unbroken though. Finished in 13:11.

Was pretty exhausted after today’s work.

No Ring Support

My back was tight getting out of bed this morning, my legs are feeling yesterday for sure, and my shoulder is shit. I hit 100% of my sleep need though! Out in the garage at 3:30.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 SkiErg (695m)
  • Crossover Symmetry Activation

Chest & Triceps

Incline Bench Press

  • 10×45#
  • 10×75
  • 15×95
  • 12×115
  • 10×125
  • 8×135

3 Sets

  • 15 Incline DB Bench Press (45# DBs)
  • 12 Incline Fly (25# DBs)
  • 10 Incline Plate Press (35#)

I’m so glad I didn’t grab the 50s! With heating up the garage, a lot of the equipment gets condensation, so those plate presses got sketchy.

3 Sets

  • 12 DB Pull Over (50-60-60#)

Couldn’t even support myself on the rings so super setting with MAX Strict Ring Dips was a no go. ☹️

3 Sets

  • 12 Tricep Pulldown (rope, 60-65-65#)
  • 12 EZ Bar Skull Crusher (56-61-66#)

Conditioning

E3M – 4 Rounds

  • 500m Row

I fucked up trying to coast in way too early on the last two rounds. Otherwise I think I would have had negative splits. Live and learn. My times were 1:35.0, 1:34.7, 1:35.5, and 1:35.0.

I planned to do Crossover Symmetry Recovery, but I was wiped out after those rows.

Last Day of Holiday Vacation

Spent several hours yesterday sitting on the floor of my hobby room, organizing and working on stuff. Don’t seem to be experiencing any adverse effects from it or yesterday’s workout. My triceps are still sore and feeling some in my chest too. Out in the garage by 1:30.

Warm-up

  • 5:00 SkiErg
  • Crossover Symmetry Activation

Back & Biceps

4 Sets

  • 10 Seated Cable Rows

Midline

5 Rounds

  • 120′ Sandbag Carry (100#)
  • 15 OH Plate Crunches (55#)
  • 20 Russian Twists (55#)

Decided to do it for time, to get my heart rate up. It took 8:09. Gripping the 55 pound plate for the twists and moving it across the body took some getting used to.

Time for a rest day tomorrow, especially with having to go back to work. Vacation has been nice.

One Not Four

Shoveled earlier, but didn’t feel like pulling vehicles out of the garage today, so I came up with something I could do in a small area. My tailbone is feeling quite a bit better today. Out in the garage at 4:30.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 SkiErg (694m)

Conditioning

10 Rounds

  • 30s TrueForm Run
  • 30s Rest
  • 30s Renegade Rows (35# DBs)
  • 30s Rest

Good sweat fest.

Midline

20 Crunches⁣
20 Leg Lifts
20 Single Leg Lifts ⁣(big Flutter Kicks)
20 Plank Hip Dips

Was going to do four rounds but my back was tight. Took me 2:36.

Back at It

I took a few rest days because I needed a break. Turned 41 on Saturday. Out in the garage at 4pm.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 SkiErg (686m)
  • 2 Sets
    • 30s Dead Hang
    • 10 Air Squats
    • 10 Scap Push-ups
    • 10 PVC Passes

Conditioning

Partner Workout

  • 100 Ring Dips
  • 5x 12/8 cal BikeErg (standing)
  • 200 Reverse DB Lunges (40# DBs)
  • 5x 12/8 cal BikeErg (standing)
  • 300 Russian KBS (53#)
  • 5x 12/8 cal BikeErg (standing)

I had planned this for last Saturday but ended up doing a solo version of it. Actually I adjusted it a bit for today after getting the feel for that other version. We alternated 5s on the dips, 10s on the lunges, and 25s on the swings. Finished in 38:09. Driving out of the lunges was slow because my tail bone is painful today for some reason.

Midline

4 Rounds

  • 10 Parallette Shoot Throughs (5# ankle weights)
  • 30/30s Single Leg Balance (5# ankle weights, 70# KB)
  • 20s Hollow Hold (5# ankle weights)
  • 10/10 Partner Banded Rotations & Holds (blue)

Wasn’t sure what the shoot throughs would be like after not doing them for awhile, but they felt really good and I barely even slowed down by the end.
