January 8, 2016 – Invictus Athlete

Session One
Snatch Technique Warm-Up
Three sets of:
Snatch-Grip Romanian Deadlift x 3 reps
Snatch High Pull from Below Knee x 3 reps
Muscle-Snatch x 3 reps
Overhead Squat x 3 reps @ 3211
Snatch Push Press x 3 reps
Snatch Balance x 3 reps
Hang Power Snatch x 3 reps
Snatch from Below Knee x 3 reps

*Set 1 – Empty Barbell
*Set 2 – 95/65 lbs
*Set 3 – 95/65 lbs

A.
Build to today’s 3-RM High Hang Snatch

Drop back down to 65%, and then…

Build to today’s 2-RM Hang Snatch from Mid-Thigh

Drop back down to 65%, and then…

Build to today’s 1-RM Snatch

Make jumps of 5-10 lbs as you build loads. The goal should be to accumulate volume of PERFECT repetitions from the various positions as you build to your heaviest loads. Please understand that “today’s 1-RM” may not mean your lifetime PR. The purpose is productive training, so keep the focus on good mechanics, and push only when it feels good to do so. If your mechanics start to breakdown, you have achieved “heavy” for the day.

B.
For time:
20 Squat Snatches @ 70% of today’s 1-RM

*If you lose balance on receiving and step forward or backwards, the rep doesn’t count. If you fail the attempt, you must perform 10 burpees over the barbell before your next attempt.

C.
For max reps:
60 seconds of Muscle-Ups
Rest 2 minutes
60 seconds of Burpees to a Target 6″ Above Reach

NOTE SCORES, and rest until recovered before the next portion.

D.
Every minute on the minute until failure:
Muscle-Up x 30% of today’s 60 second max
Burpee to 6″ touch x 30% of today’s 60 second max

*Once you fail to complete the specified reps within the minute the workout is over.
**E.g, if you hit 13 muscle-ups in 60 seconds, and 20 burpees in 60 seconds in the max reps test, you would perform 4 muscle-ups and 6 burpees every minute until you failed to get those reps in within the minute.

Session Two
Gymnastics Skills Warm-Up
I.
Banded Lat Stretch x 2 Minutes each arm
10 Rocking Box Bridges (slow and controlled)
Prone Pectoral Stretch x 2 minutes each arm

II.
Accumulate 15-20 Freestanding Kick-Ups to Handstand
(hold for 1 second in the handstand, but goal is to get comfortable finding balance point)

followed by…

Three sets of:
60-75 seconds of Nose-to-Wall Split Handstand Hold
Rest 60-90 seconds

Get into position via wall-walk, cartwheel or backward handstand walk.

followed by…

Ten sets of:
Nose-to-Wall Handstand + Handstand Walk Out and Back
(once back at the wall, correct any body position misalignments that may have occurred during the handstand walk)
Rest as needed

III.
10 Tuck to V-Up Complexes

followed by…

100 Hollow Body Bounces

online pharmacy lasix for sale no prescription pharmacy

January 8 Snatch warmup: done A. Started at 65lbs and worked to a 3-rep HH snatch up to 115lbs, then back to 75lbs to build up to a 2-rep Mid-Hang of 135lbs, then back down to 85lbs and building back up to a 1-rep of 145lbs (failed 155lbs behind me, twice). The volume definitely got to me by the time I got to the last rep, I’m usually able to hit 155lbs on any given day (best is 170lbs). B. 8:15 at 105lbs – Failed 4 reps for 40 burpees…yikes.

What a day!
Session 2:
nose-to-wall hs plus walk out: tough and I got a little over half
tuck to v-up: yuck

A. C&J x 1.1.1: 155# I was/am fatigued but for some reason I felt strong. Was happy with this.
Completely just missed doing the 3 reps @100%
3×3: 125, felt great
1x 5: 98#

B. Struggled a little with 10 reps, I did 6 reps each set because my legs were just tired and my form started to go.

C. Back Squats felt pretty good: 157/180/195/157 (3 x 10)

Pretty fatigued but felt strong. Thought that was odd.
