SHOULDAAA BURN

I mowed the lawn on Saturday and helped a friend concrete in the base for a basketball hoop in the morning. Then we walked 9 holes of golf and got hame for a workout.

Shoulders

3 Sets

  • 14 alt Lateral Raise + Hold (8#)
  • 14 Arnold Press (20#)
  • 14 DB Upright Rows (20#)
  • 14 Complex DB Press (40#)
  • 14 alt DB Shoulder Press + Hold (25#)

Sunday at 3

Much later for us on a Sunday, around 3pm, but we had a busy morning.

Warm-up

Tabata

  • Burpees

Definitely not my idea! I went 2×6 and 6×5.

Conditioning

4 Rounds

  • 12/8 cal Row
  • 12 Incline DB Back Fly (20#)
  • 12/8 cal SkiErg
  • 12 Double Handle Pull to Chest (60#)
  • 15/10 cal BikeErg
  • 50m Farmer Carry (60#)

Sort of a partner workout, with the 2nd person waiting until you were off the machine. Then if you got your movement reps done you had a brief wait until your partner finished their machine. I went first and B finished at 22:35.

Finished in 9:02, 1:01 faster than the first time we did this with 30s!

First 2021 Park Workout

Yesterday was too cold for golf so it was a night of lying laminate floor in the living room. My body was hurting throughout the night. Almost 80 tonight, so we went to the park!

Warm-up

  • 10 Ring Kip Swings
  • 10 Air Squats
  • 10 Dumbbell Shoulder Press (10# DBs)
  • 20 High Knees
  • 20 Butt Kicks
  • 1 Muscle-up
  • 20 Arm Circles

Conditioning

18:00 AMRAP – Partner – I Go, You Go Rounds

  • 15 DB Thrusters (20# DBs)
  • 2-4-6-8-10 MU, then 12-14… Ring Pull-up

I went first, controlled through my thrusters, and unbroken through the set of eight muscle-ups. I was hoping to go 4-3-3 for the ten, but it ended up being 4-2-1-1-1-1. So for the next round I called an audible and switched to the ring pull-ups, going unbroken. I got through the 14 pull-ups and there was probably 15-20 seconds left for Brandi, who had already started her thrusters to get through them. Muscle-ups felt ok for not having been up on the rings since November 8th and 30 reps on the first time out is solid. Ring pull-ups are no joke either; I thought I’d bust through them no problem, but the kip is weird and it’s a lot more grip than on the bar, where you can regrip easier.

Nasty little workout. It’s a modification to a Mayhem workout we skipped last week, which was a 10:00 AMRAP of 15 wall balls and 5-10-15… T2B. Not sure if that would have been worse.

Midline

3 Rounds

  • 30 Swimmer Crunches
  • 30 Crunches
  • 30 Leg Lifts
  • 30 Single Leg Lifts
  • 30 Plank Hip Dips

First round at 3:11, second at 6:38, and finished at 10:03. A lot of reps hitting the upper abs.

Another Killer 30 EMOM

Yep, my legs and ass are sore. Out in the garage at 4.

Warm-up

  • 5:00 TrueForm Run (0.84 km)
  • Crossover Symmetry Activation
  • 3 Sets
    • 10 Air Squats
    • 10 Scap Push-ups

Conditioning

30:00 EMOM (alt)

  • 16 Ring Rows
  • 18 cal BikeErg (standing)
  • 40s Plank (elbows)
  • 24 H2H KBS (53#)
  • 24 Lunges

Opfhhh, that was another grind. Going in I was thinking 12 ring rows and 20 cal, but I changed those when I was doing the first round of each and it worked out to be a perfect adjustment. I’m really starting to like these 30 minute EMOMs.

  • 20 Swimmer Crunches ⁣
  • 20 Crunches⁣
  • 20 Leg Lifts

Upping the ante on the three rounds of 25 reps of each, which ends up being five more reps of each movement. Took me 9:40 compared to compared to 9:34 for the three rounds.

I finished up with Crossover Symmetry Recovery.

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.
