C: 9:15 – things felt like a bit of a grind today especially with the summer weather kicking into high gear. Looking forward to tomorrow ?
Limited time today, so only did DMA and front squats (based on 1RM of 155#):
116 / 116 / 125 / 132 / 140 / 147# – second rep at 147 was by the skin of my teeth.
Practiced my BMUs with remaining time. I’m SO close! I think next week’s Invictus comp may just make that first one happen!

Life has been a little out of Routine, so it felt good to get a full program training session in today.
Why would it be out of routine? its not like out moved state, uprooted your life and took on a fantastic opportunity…:)
Great to have you a part of the family!
Ha! And don’t forget that I left my training buddy of two years!
Coming downtown tomorrow afternoon to train with you kids.
And Fantastic is right.
A – 210, 230, 240, 255, 270. Meh. Felt heavier than hoped.
B – 55# DB. Tried what I thought side plank hip circles were and it felt awkward.
C – 9:34 @155 and 10 RMUs. Row 3:40. Paced the barbell to save effort for MUs. 4/3/3 on MU with very short rest between sets. Could have pushed a little harder I think.
D – 60# on end of bar.
Mobility activation done
A. 125-145-155-165-175-175# (working back into these…focusing on good technique coming out of the hole)
B. 35# DB, wasn’t exactly sure what the side plank with hip circles were supposed to look like
C. Decided to not do this today since I did heavy front squats today and didn’t want to overload the hip. Instead did Ring Muscle up skill work and then 12 min EMOM of 3 RMU.
D. 35# + womens bar
Hope your hip gets better soon Cheryl!
It’s much better than it has been! Thank you!
A. Up to 90%. Hip a bit sore so stopped there
B. DB- 45/55/65/80
C. 7:53. Row about 3:40. MU- 5/5. Barbell should have been quicker.
Look after that hip Keith. Plenty of mobility tonight!

Not injured but beyond normal soreness. I think there’s just been more overhead since I started Invictus than previous programming. I obviously need it, but I am trying to be mindful and scale til I start feeling more recovered. I think nutrition is on point but I have mentioned it to my WAG coach that I’m just sore and fatigued… Read more »
Hopefully its just a little more volume and new stimulus. I’m sure your body will adapt. Be smart and keep working hard!
I’m in the same boat. My arms/shoulders are definitely more sore than normal. This cycle seems to be particularly shoulder/arms/OH stuff – heavy…
I was on Comptrain Masters prior to Invictus. I didn’t expect such a shock to my muscles lol. But I guess it’s good, I obviously needed it. It will get better, and we will get stronger!
DMA – done A. 161 – 161 – 172 – 183 – 194 – 205 (equals my 2 rep max) B1. Right arm – 35 (5) – 35 (6) – 40 (5) – 35 (5) Left arm – 35 (6) – 35 (6) – 40 (6) – 35 (6) B2.

B. Done. 45lb dumbbells
C. 9:03 (50-54). Subbed bar muscle ups (shoulders gnarly – didn’t want to stress them more on rings). Legs weren’t working well on the shoulder to overheads after that row! 3:35 on the row.
DM&A DONE
Mobility done
A. Done at % – able to hit 98% for 2 on my last set, so I think my 1RM may have increased.
B. Done – DB Press at 50#(6), 55#(6), 65#(4), 65#(4)
C. 11:29 RX (185#). Slow and steady row (3:40) – wasn’t sure how I would handle the C&J at that weight, but was able to hit consistent singles. MU at 4/2/2/2 – shoulders burned out.
D. Landmine rows – 70#/75/80 on 45# bar.
Looking strong Joe!
