April 26, 2017 – Regionals Prep Program

Primary Strength Session
A.
Every minute, on the minute, for 6 minutes:
Dead-Stop Front Squat x 1 rep @ 95% of your 1-RM Dead-Stop Front Squat

B.
Every 2 minutes, for 16 minutes (8 sets):
Clean from Mid-Patella x 1 rep
(pause 2 seconds at mid-patella, then snatch)

Build from approximately 70-75% to today’s heavy. Same rules as last week, but with reduced pause length, the expectation is that you will build to a heavier load.

C.
Three sets of:
8-Second Clean Deadlift x 1 rep @ 8181
Rest as needed

Start with approximately 65% or lighter and keep your focus on maintaining proper positions and weight distribution. Use the 8-second ascent to feel the weight shift from the forefoot into the mid-foot as the barbell passes the knee; keep your chest over the barbell and stay patient in that position as the barbell ascends up the thighs; feel you hips coming up and under the barbell to elevate it – not kick it out. One the way down, maintain that same controlled 8-second tempo and hit all positions again in reverse. Use straps for this!

Primary Conditioning Session
A.
For time:
15/12 Muscle-Ups
20 Snatches (95/65 lbs)
12/9 Muscle-Ups
15 Snatches (145/105 lbs)
9/6 Muscle-Ups
10 Snatches (195/135 lbs)

B.
Three sets of:
Landmine Rows x 6 reps each arm
Rest as needed

C.
Two sets of:
200-Foot Overhead Yoke Carry
(drop every 50-feet, turn around and come back immediately – go as heavy as possible)
Rest as needed

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:
Front-Racked Alternating Reverse Lunges x 16 reps (8 each)
Rest 90 seconds
Weighted Stationary Dip x 4-6 reps @ 21X0
Rest 90 seconds

B.
Three sets of:
20 Dumbbell Lateral Raise
20 Dumbbell Front Raise
20 Dumbbell Strict Overhead Press
(perform as a complex)
Rest 2 minutes

Assault Bike Conditioning Option
Eight sets for max calories of:
2 minutes of Assault Bike
Rest 90 seconds

Running Endurance Option
Every 5 minutes for 20 minutes (4 sets)
500 Meter Sprint
Rest the remainder of the time.

Followed by 500 Meter Sprint sprint all out effort. Record your time.

A) All sets at 330

Conditioning:
A) 11:29 Muscle ups: 7/5/3 then 6/3/3 then 6/3
Snatches: 5/5/5/5 then singles then singles

Definitely could have moved faster on this. Just was playing with a few different things on lower sets to see how the body responds.

C. Tempo clean DL 145/155/165

PRd my muscle ups on the set of 12! Then rested way too long after each set of snatches. Also I noticed when I think of cycling the bar or going faster I cut my pull WAY short every time so I will work on that next time.
B. Land mine rows with men’s bar
C. OH yoke carry with yoke + 20#

Dead stop- 230 no misses!

Pause cleans- 165 up to 215! Very close miss at 220! Next week ?

Conditioning done- 15:40 RX. I know this isn’t the fastest but my body is wreck and I’m totally surprised I moved decently well through this with the way I feel. Just stayed steady and moved. Focused on good quality reps.

Assault bike work done after about 20 minutes of rest form above work. 30 cals every set.

Took yesterday off after 4 days of Masters Qualifiers this weekend, got back to the gym today to move a little bit. Was going to do the snatch/ MU workout, but body (and probably my mind) weren’t quite ready to hit it hard! Did the Assault Bike intervals and landmine rows. Maybe lift later today. I’ll be ready to get back to it on Friday for sure!

Sitting in 21st right now…. so close…. lol. Lemme just ride that bubble ?

Primary Strength Session A. Every minute, on the minute, for 6 minutes: Dead-Stop Front Squat x 1 rep @ 95% of your 1-RM Dead-Stop Front Squat all done at 200. Pretty happy about that. B. Every 2 minutes, for 16 minutes (8 sets): Clean from Mid-Patella x 1 rep (pause 2 seconds at mid-patella, then CLEAN) 150,160,170,180,190,195,200,205ff- dropping felt good and knees doing pretty well today, just can’t get any power out of my right ankle hence the R glute being completely unaware of what I am trying to do. Working on it… C. Three sets of: 8-Second Clean Deadlift… Read more »
