April 20, 2018 – Invictus Athlete

Primary Strength Session
A.
Four sets of:
Weighted Seated Box Jump x 3 reps*
immediately followed by…
Seated Box Jump x 2 reps

Followed by…

Four sets of:
Broad Jump x 5 reps

*Use a weighted vest or DBs, but keep it light enough so the weight does not affect jumping form and allows for fast, explosive movement.

B.
Every 3 minutes, for 18 minutes (6 sets):
Tempo Front Squat x 4 reps @ 32X1

Build to today’s heavy 4 rep set, but stay on prescribed tempo.

C.
Build to today’s 1-RM Snatch

Make jumps of 5-10 lbs as you build loads. The goal should be to accumulate volume of PERFECT repetitions as you build to your heaviest loads. Please understand that “today’s 1-RM” may not mean your lifetime PR. The purpose is productive training, so keep the focus on good mechanics, and push only when it feels good to do so. If your mechanics start to breakdown, you have achieved “heavy” for the day.

Primary Conditioning Session
For time:
40/30 Calorie Row
30 Chest-to-bar Pull-Ups
20 Hang Squat Snatches (135/95 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.

Started w/ Thursday’s Rowing Option 650m x 8 w/ 90 rest. Averaged about 2:17 at 1:46 pace. Didn’t have my phone with me that day so don’t have the summary.
Strength
A) Done with 20# vest
B) Worked up to 260.. did this in my metcons w/ out knee sleeves to change it up also knowing I’d be snatching in metcons for the metcon. More posterior activation without lifters which was good.
C) Worked up to 230, everything felt heavy today.

Conditioning

The snatches, did the row in about 1:35, finished the chest to bar at 3:30, and then I just could not snatch today. 95 is not usually difficult. I did them as 5/4/3/4/4

S1
Coffee run 🙂

S2
Front Squat x 4
Built to 325. The last rep was super hard

Snatch @ 265. Nothing felt good here.
Dropped back down and hit 5 singles at 245

I’ve always felt better lifting against a short clock. Long breaks I always feel off like I’m not as aggressive which sounds backwards

Conditioning
4:51
Ouch.
