Push-Press x Max Reps (95/65 lbs)

Note:
Work to maximize movement effeciency with the gymnastics portion. Make every rep count and push to get as many reps as possible, knowing you have 5 minutes of rest. No rep yourself if you miss the target for the wall ball, if your toes-to-bar miss the bar or if you shorten your sHSPU. Be strict with yourself so you can prepare well for the Open.

Optional Session (Best performed 3-4 hours between sessions. Only do this session if you have the time and energy to complete a second session. If you are not prioritizing the Open then feel free to do this session instead of Part C above to work on your engine.)

A.
Every minute, on the minute, for 30 minutes, complete:
Assault Bike x 30 seconds
Rest x 30 seconds

Work to keep your RPMs consistent. This should be an RPM that is challenging but something you can still hit continiously. For males, look for 65+ RPMs and females 55+ RPMs.

B.
Two sets of:
Barbell Hip Thrusts x 10 reps @ 20X1
Rest 90 seconds
Chinese Rows x 6-8 reps @ 2111
Rest 90 seconds

NO need to redo – great work today and it should have felt hard coming off the rower and going straight into a movement.

A. 240, 255 Last rep in final two sets got a little hairy.
B. 135, 185, 205, 215, 225…but the 225 was 1/4 split jerk, 3/4 push press. Argh. Need to work on getting under it when it gets heavy. Probably should spend some time with the jerk boxes.
C. All rows 3:45; WB – 36; T2B – 21; sHSPUs – 25. T2B were difficult. My midline taxed!
Optional B. Done with 145# for both Hip Thrusts and Chinese Rows.

T2b are nasty after rowing. Perhaps the fact that the hips are closed for 3-4 mins?

Kinda disappointed today. A 235 250 just barely base on 295 B could not do cleans must of hurt wrist with excessive amount of thrusters I did on Friday and Saturday. Dammit I knew I made a mistake C done WB 25 t2b 20 could not get in a rhythm at all and HSPU went up to handstand and realized wrist was injured and can’t do those. I am not happy hope it is just minor as all the things a can’t do are the things I have gotten better while coming back from surgery. Was hoping to be healthy… Read more »

Rest up Doug and don’t worry too much – I’d rather you rest your wrist!!

Don’t add anything else to the program because the volume is already on the higher side and continue to listen to your body!

Warmup done
A. 185/195/205/215/225/225 all x 3. I’ve got a lot more than this in me but it’ll be a while until I regain confidence in this lift.
B. Built up to a comfortable 225. Same as above on these. On the positive side the last few weeks I’ve been feeling tightness and tenderness in my lower right back where as this week I didn’t feel it.
C. Out of time. Hopefully later.

A. Done.
C. Done. Wallballs 18, toes to bar 6, hspu 6
Not very fast on the rower, but I felt like it was much less sloppy than last week. So I will take it. Still not linking those toes to bar together well, I think I can but I need to take some extra time to work on it.
I’m planning on doing B at a time I can drop weight. It’s hard to max out when you can’t drop anything!
