A) 135,185,205,225,240 this felt awesome today. I could have gone heavier.
B) 19:18 with 40# DB went lighter so I could keep moving. This workout a couple of months ago would have been north of 30 min. Thanks to all of you for pushing me to get better.

A: 225, 255, 255, 225, 245. Did tempo high bar. The low bar just hurts too much. Also was having a little knee pain so keeping it light.

B 13:10 RX (70 lb KB) . Was a good one.

Yes…Anika is definitely BAD ASS!! SHSPU always seem to go better for me when I’m fatigued/tense. Think it helps so that I don’t relax on the way down or at the bottom. I also recoded them so that I could see if my feet were over “the line” and that’s kinda like having an audience..so that helps to perform better also…lol

it’s a fun loop once you just get on in its flow: down, up, stepping to the bar, jumping. turning, counting and back to the beginning

Low bar back squats really really hurt my rhomboids when I rest the bar on them. Anyone have any tips? It hurts so much I can’t even really do Low bar squats.

225, 235, 245, 255, 265
… low bar position felt junky during warm-up so elected for high bar
B. As Rx (except 1.5p KBS for walking lunges)
12:58
… deadlifts from yesterday left a mark so knocked back the lunge load – have a good weekend folks.

A. Tempo BS up to 100kg/225#
Still easing back into training this week. 100kg was perfect: just a little struggle to maintain positioning.

B. Scaled the lunges to 2x24kg KB’s
16:52
Wanted to keep intensity up, still had to break the lunges into 3×10 with short periods (5 breaths) of rest. So scaling was on point!

Accessory
Every 1:30 for 4:30 (3 sets):
30sec Hollow Body Hold / 1min rest

Have a great weekend everyone!

Good morning, everybody…

A. 205/225/235/235/235; wasn’t sure how this would go in the bottom position. the last 2 reps were not fun, but overall I was happy with it based on how my legs felt the last 2 days.
B. 17:16; scaled to 50# dbells (all I have). low back was really tight on 1200 and had to stop twice to stretch it. stopped once on 800 to stretch back. 1st round of lunges UB. 2nd round went 40’/40’/20′. First round (1200 and lunges) was around 9:00. 400m was 2:05.

Have a great weekend!

A. BSx4 temp 32X1. Skipped the low bar part. Too hard to set up with my rack. (Only 1 height for bar)
165×4, 175×4, 185×4, 185×4, 185×3

B. No heavy kettlebells. Punishment was wearing 20# weight vest for entire workout. Lunges with 16kg bells. I think I did more like 80 or 90 foot. Did 16 strides for each leg.
1200m in 6:10
800m in 3:54
400m in 1:54
Good times running with the vest.
