Tag: Wide Push-up

Tri No More

Walked 18 holes yesterday because the weather was perfect and there was a chance we’d only be able to play 9 holes today.

Upper Body & Conditioning

  • Partner A: 10 Burpees
  • Partner B:
    • 10 DB Bench Press (15-20-20/50# DBs)

2 Sets

  • Partner B:
    • 15 OH Tricep Extensions (rope on cable pulley, 27#)
    • 10 Diamond Push-ups

This was worse than the tricep focused workout I did in Cancun and I could barely move my arms for days. We’re going to be feeling this one! We finished in 36:10.

Sneaky Quads

My legs felt really heavy last night and my upper abs are a bit sore today. In the garage at 4pm.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 SkiErg (678m)
  • 3 Sets
    • 12 DB Combo Shoulder Raises (front + lateral, 8#)
    • 4 Wide Push-ups
    • 4 Push-ups
    • 4 Diamond Push-ups
    • 10 PVC Passes
  • 4/4 Landmine Bench Press (45#)
  • 5 Russian KBS (53#)

Chest & Triceps

4 Sets

  • 10/10 Landmine Bench Press (65-70-75-80#)
  • 10 Underhand Tricep Pulldown (spinny bar, 49-60-60-60#)

I am really liking the setup we’ve been using for these landmine presses, with it behind us so we can go up and down through the rep in more of a straight line.

5 Sets

  • 10 Incline Bench Press (45-95-105-115-120#)
  • 10 OH Tricep Extensions (rope, 38-49-49-49-49#)

4 Sets

  • 12 Incline Flys (25# DBs)
  • 12 French Press (60-60-60-50# DB)

I probably should have gone with 50 the entire way.

3 Sets

  • MAX Wide Push-ups
  • 1:00 Rest

Not a fan of these with my shoulders. Managed 26-20-18.

Conditioning

8:00 AMRAP

  • 30 Double Unders
  • 15 Air Squats
  • 10 Heavy Russian KBS (70#)

My quads were blowing up a few rounds in, each time I’d get to 8-10 reps on the squats. Got through 6+38.

Pounding

Woke up with a headache, but hit the pavement around 8am. Went for a 30 minute active recovery run, covering 3.14 miles. Then I walked about a half mile to get home.

Switching up from strict pull-ups on this rest day to some different sets of push-ups. Did one big set for each type of push-up, stopping a few reps shy of failure. Undefined rest between sets as I did them during breaks from working. Was done over the course of a few hours.

  • 20 Clapping Push-ups
  • 30 Wide Push-ups
  • 25 Diamond Push-ups
  • 20 Ring Push-ups
  • 30 Push-ups

Can you tell I like pretty numbers? I cut the ring push-ups pretty short because I didn’t want to get strap burns on my arms. Next time I’d be sure to put on my shin skins.
