It was sort of a partner workout, sort of solo. Brandi started on the rower and I did the three different movements before we switched. I was getting 500 meters each round, having to go faster and faster to get it. Then B went TURBO in the 5th round and finished at 22:48. I kept going to get my 500 and ended at 23:05.

Two Days Off

My parents came down Friday night and we needed a lazy day yesterday. Still sore from the workouts earlier in the week.

Arms

Partner Workout

  • 100 KBS (53#) + Dead Hang
  • 80 Goblet Lunges (53#) + Bottom Squat Hold
  • 60 Pull-ups + One Arm KB OH Hold (53#)
  • 40 Goblet Squats (35#) + Goblet Squat Hold (35#)
  • 20 3-count V-ups + Plank

Saw this on Instagram and thought it looked fun. Brandi went first, which was a mistake because her grip was shot for the dead hangs and my grip is much better. We did 25s for the swings, 20s for the lunges, 9-9-6-6 for pull-ups, 10s for squats, and 5s for the V-ups. Took us 12:59.

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

  • Deadlifts (135#)
  • Bar-facing burpees

That weight was right up my alley and kept my back safe. I stepped back and up on almost all burpees until near the end, but I jumped them all over. Felt like I kept a solid steady pace and never really took time before picking the bar back up. Got through the 9s on the way back down and then 8 deadlifts and 1 burpee for a total of 137 reps.

Solid workout and I’ll be able to walk tomorrow. It’s so nice not stressing and obsessing about these workouts.

  • 12/12 Side V-ups (Partner does 24 Plank Knee Taps)

Partner workout with B. For the jump rope and lunges we each went while the other rested. The dumbbell movements were paired up, so the partner rested until both movements were done. For the abs, each partner was working at the same time and then we switched. I started the first round and then we alternated who started every round after that. Took us 34:01.

Long Rest Break

B wasn’t feeling great so we didn’t workout for several days.

Warm-up

  • PVC Passes
  • 10 Bench Press (35#)
  • 10 Bench Press (95#)

MAX Bench Press (120/60#)

Got through 47, which beats the 41 from earlier in the week and the 45 from last time through the program.

100 Push-ups

Went 8×5 and 20×3 for a time of 4:03.

Incline Bench Press

Three sets to failure @ each of 3 weights

  • 16-12-11 @ 120#
  • 17-14-13 @ 100#
  • 20-20-20 @ 80#

Accessory

6 Sets

  • 12 Tricep Pushdowns (49#)

All Chest PRs

Yesterday I walked 18 yesterday and mowed B’s lawn in the evening.

Warm-up

  • 20 PVC Passes
  • 10 PVC Shrugs
  • Bench Press
    • 10×45
    • 8×95
    • 6×135
    • 4×160

Chest

MAX Bench Press (180/85#)

I was able to do 23 today to beat the 18 reps from the early Friday session.

100 Push-ups

All threes wasn’t great for me last week so I planned to go back to all fives with limited rests. I was struggling as I got to 70 so I changed to threes the rest of the way. It ended up being 14×5 and 10×3 to finish in 3:21, which is an 18 second PR and 1:27 better than week one! Brandi hit a huge PR by 1:04 by doing threes, which is over two minutes better than week one.

Bench Press

  • 3 Sets @ 3 Weights
  • MAX Reps
  • 3:00 Rest between sets

I figured increasing 20 pounds on each weight, compared to week one would be a good test. I got 16-14-12 with 175#, 20-17-17 with 145#, and 24-22-23 with 120#. That comes out to 2,980 more total pounds than week one with 155-125-100!

6 Sets

  • 12 Triceps Pushdowns (bar, 60#)
  • 1:00 Rest

Went up six pounds over what I used in week two.

Only Chest

On Sunday I spent about 5 hours working on the ground area of the outdoor gym space. Wiped me out because it was sunny and in the high 80s. Yesterday I walked 18 holes and then mowed B’s lawn in the evening after work.

Warm-up

  • 20 PVC Passes
  • Bench Press
    • 10×45#
    • 10×75#
    • 5×100#

MAX Bench Press (120/60#)

I was able to knock out an extra five reps compared to Saturday, with 45.

100 Push-ups

I was smarter this week and did 12×5, 12×3, and 1×4 to finish 32 seconds faster than week one with a time of 4:16.

Incline Bench Press

  • 3 sets to failure @ each of 3 weights
  • 3:00 Rest between sets

We used the women’s bar so that B could go lighter than 45#. The incline was a challenge!

  • 13-11-11 @ 120#
  • 19-14-15 @ 100#
  • 22-22-22 @ 80#

6 Sets

  • 12 Tricep Pushdowns (54#)
  • 1:00 Rest

Not sure I would have been successful with 60 pounds, so maybe I’ll try 56.5 next time.

We decided that was enough for the session. That’s a lot of volume to get through. A little later, we put up the second bar. I had painted one side with wall ball targets during lunch, but we got a little rain after our workout so didn’t want to paint the rest when the posts were damp.

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.
