A. 185, 225, 240 done with 35lb DBs – lats really felt this movement 13, 14, 13 at tempo – OMG my lats were on FIRE – maybe from too much warm up on those 3 rounds of :30 supinated hangs followed by 10 scap pull ups?? B. Rx. 4 + 20 – just didn’t feel like I had a lot of energy today…perhaps from spending 6 hours out in the sun with the kids at the state fair prior to the workout. Either way, more trips than I’d like…lots of trips on rd 1 then a few on rd… Read more »

UGH, just logged on and saw my notes weren’t there. Here ya go again: Warmup Run/Bike/Row 5 mins Using a towel, slider, or furniture mover under one foot, complete: 10 reverse lunges, 10 lateral slide outs, 10 curtsy lunges. Switch feet. On a bench, 10/10 single leg glute bridges. Then: 3 rounds of 30 second supinated bar hang + 10 supinated scap pullups. Rest as needed between sets. Part A: LOAD UP THE BARBELL for the glute bridge! You need more than 10’s on each side for this to be effective. You can go heavier than you think on these!… Read more »

8, 8, 8 at tempo which was HARD!!

PS. Really missed the warm up. I find it hard to come up with an effective one as I just want to start and get it over with.

Should have moved a little faster on the transitions to get five rounds.

Have not been able to post in a few days. Have been out and about with new job and training.
A. worked on clean pull, power clean and split jerk, got up to 205
B. subbed pistols to low box, 50 lbs. KB, 4 rounds plus 40. DU’s all unbroken except on round 4, slipped on my toe. This was tougher than it looked because you kept finishing each round.

Felt really fresh today, and pleased with my performance.

A. 100kg glute bridge, getting used to these! DB death march at 22.5kg each hand, the glute burn at the 3 seconds down tempo was real. Pull-ups 8 8 7.

B. 4 rounds + 40 doubles + 1 KB swing

1 trip per set on doubles, still getting used to american swings now I have access to heavy kettlebells, so did 15+15. Pistols were done to a tyre on its side, so reps just above parallel for me.

Round times 2.45, 2.50, 2.56, 2.49
