July 6, 2019 – Invictus Athlete

Primary Training Session
Rear Delt Warm Up
Two sets of:
Incline T Raises x 10 reps @ 2121
(face down, raising straight arms at 90 degrees)
Incline Y Raises x 10 reps @ 2121
(face down, raising straight arms at 45 degrees)
Incline I Raises x 10 reps
(face down, raising straight arms in front)

followed by…

Two sets of:
Biceps Opening Curls x 5/5/5 reps
Rest as needed
Triceps Opening Extensions x 5/5/5 reps
Rest as needed

A.
Rotate through the following movements for 15 minutes:
50 Heavy Rope Double-Unders or 70 Double-Unders
50-Foot Handstand Walk
1 L-Seated Rope Climb
1 Rope Climb

We are not looking for a score. Your priority is to move through these movements smooth and efficiently. Use this time to improve skills and body awareness. These are things you can do often, but this is dedicated time today to improving the sometimes neglected skills.

B.
Four sets of:
Tempo Bench Press x 4-6 reps @ 21X1
(slow and controlled descent, then pause for one second in the bottom position, then explode the barbell up as quickly as you can; these should be performed at least 5% heavier than last week’s sets)
Rest 90 seconds
Barbell Loaded Walking Lunges x 20 steps @ 20X1
(back rack the barbell; step so legs make 90/90 angles; keep your chest up throughout the movement; HOVER, but DO NOT TOUCH your back knee to the ground – this shows control; go heavier than last week)
Rest 90 seconds

Followed by…

C.
One set of:
Bench Press x Max reps @ today’s working weight (no tempo)
Rest 2 Minutes
20/15 kg Barbell Jumping Lunges x Max Reps in 2 Minutes
(place an empty barbell on your back and perform as many jumping lunges as possible in 2 minutes; simple goal…you MUST BEAT LAST WEEK’S SCORE)

D.
Three rounds for time of:
400 Meter Run
15 Bar-Facing Burpees
12 Deadlifts (205/145 lbs)
9 Hang Cleans (205/145 lbs)
6 Shoulder to Overhead (205/145 lbs)

Optional Additional Work Sessions
*Please choose to perform only those sessions that are most focused on your weaknesses, and only perform as much of the additional work as you can recover from successfully before your next training session.

Strength Accessory Option

A.
Four sets of:
30-Second Chin-Over-Bar Hold
100-Foot Plate Pinch Walk (35/25 lbs)
20 GHD Sit-Ups

Rest 90 seconds

Hi Tino,
Unfortunately we don’t have a rope in our training location. Can you give us an appropriate substitution?

Pretty good overall. I think with the almost 3 weeks I took off, and coming right back into the qualifier, I’m finally back to normal. The last 2 weeks I was really sore from th qualifiers and the he added volume but I feel like myself now.

Hello team ,
I have a question about bench press :
It’s close grip bench press or regular grip ?

I have a doubt since 3 weeks ?

Thank you
