A – Did 3 rounds of this. Grip on the MU turn getting better again so that was enough for me. Didn’t want to push shoulder or groin too much beyond that. Then did a handful of strict MUs. Surprisingly, these felt fantastic.
B – 325#.
C – No ski erg. Did Assault Bike, made me wish they had a ski erg. Subbed 15 V-ups for 12 T2B to rest shoulder. Still got spicy around round 8 anyway.
D – Skipped. Short on time.

Yesterday’s program: DMA – done A – FSQ 2 @ 105# 2 @ 125# 2 @ 135# 2 @ 145# 1 @ 150#, failed 2nd (153# is my 1RM, but 145# felt good, so I thought I would go for it) B1 – High Hang Cleans – 3 sets @ 80#, 3 sets @ 87#. Much better than last week, but need to free storage on my phone so I can record it. B2 – Clean High Pulls from Blocks – 3 x 3 @ 87#.

That definitely changes things when you have an awkward sandbag but I like athletes having to adapt to things that aren’t perfect – so I like your ingenuity with the 2 sandbags!

Thx! So for the strict pull-ups, was it okay to switch to an underhanded grip or should I have used a skinny band and kept the regular grip?

Switching to an underhand grip is totally okay!

A. Done B. Stuck to 275 which is more like 60% but still giving the back some time. C. Done Rx but with Row/AssaultBike/T2B. I was completing the rows in 35 to 40 seconds, but had to dial back on the RPMs on the AB in order to keep hitting the cals. All t2b unbroken which gave me some much needed breathing time before starting the row again! Don’t think i could have maintained that for many more minutes if any. That was a serious mental challenge and I’m very happy to have finished it. Had to work through some… Read more »

Wonderful to hear Pierre. That is why I like workouts like this so much. It is the simplest of workouts that will test you the most mentally. Awesome job pushing through and finishing.

DMA – done
A. worked on swings, turnover, and dips using stationary bars (R’s X 5)
B. All Deadlifts at 240lb. (75%)
C. Kept up with 12 T2B for 4 rounds and then completed 10 from then on. Kept them UB until the last 3/4 rounds and then did 5/3/2 from then on. I was getting the least rest after the Assault Bike (10 – 15 seconds). Tough one!
D. GHR’s and Y, T, W’s completed
Used 100 Db’s for the Farmer’s Carry. Heaviest we have. Didn’t quite make 50′ (48 ish).

A. completed 4 sets, cut pop swings and peekaboo swings down to 3, hands were sore, but string 2 MU together in 3 of the 4 sets! Fore sure the most I have strung together in one session! Took a few minutes after to work on the no false grip.

B. Done at 215lbs
C. Completed only 21 minutes since I have to do a qualifier workout tomorrow morning, and competing on Saturday. Did alternating toe touches instead of TTB to save hands.
Went for a light (i.e. slooooow) 1 mile jog after just to soak up the sun 8:50

Mobility and Activation OK. Love it. A. I tried really tried but I forgot how to do ring MU 🙁 Three months ago I made this Muscle Ups but from then on I just can’t do it anymore.

Hardest part for me was Ski Erg. On Row I was 40-45 sek. On Ski Erg 50-55 sek and… Read more »

Fantastic Simon – that is EXACTLY what todays workout was about. Mentally being able to stay in the game and push through, even if you only had 5 seconds left in the remainder of the minute. Awesome work.
Did you happen to film yourself doing the RMU drills?

Thanks Nichole! I really looking forward to the conditioning tomorrow with the ski erg. We recently purchased two and I have played around with them but nothing like what you have programmed for today. Looking forward to seeing how my t2b hold up after rowing and skiing.
