April 30, 2018 – Invictus Athlete

Primary Strength Session
A.
Four sets of:
Depth Drops

x 10 reps

B.
In 15 minutes or less, build to today’s “heavy”…
Front Squat x 1 rep

The goal is to establish today’s “heavy” lift. “Heavy” for the day is the load immediately before that at which you would lose proper mechanics and positioning. Stop as soon as you determine that you’ve reached that load.

C.
Every 2 minutes, for 12 minutes (6 sets):
Power Clean from mid blocks x 2 reps

*Sets 1-3 = @ 75% of 1-RM Power Clean
*Sets 4-6 = @ 80% of 1-RM Power Clean

D.
For Time:
25 Back Squats (225/135 lbs)
150 Double-Unders
15 Back Squats (255/155 lbs)
100 Double-Unders
10 Back Squats (275/175 lbs)
50 Double-Unders

Bar should be taken from a rack.

Primary Conditioning Session
Every 6 minutes, for 24 minutes (4 sets):
40/30 Calories of Assault Bike
20 Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups
10 Strict Handstand Push-Ups to 4″/2″ Deficit

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.
Take 20 minutes to build to today’s 2-RM Bench Press

B.
Three sets of:
Bench Press x 10 reps @ 65-70% of today’s 2-RM
Rest as needed
Dynamic Push-Up off Plates x 10-12 reps
Rest as needed

Rowing Endurance Option
Four sets for times of:
Row 1700 Meters
Rest 4 minutes

Your goal should be to maintain consistent pacing across the four sets – and ideally, holding the same pace/500m you held last week. If you’ve been wearing a heart-rate monitor, you should also be noticing that your heart rate is remaining lower at the same or faster paces during these intervals, and hopefully dropping back to a bit lower beats per minute during your rest intervals.

Running Endurance Option

1 Minute of Running (hard)
30 seconds of Easy Recovery Jog
2 Minutes of Running (hard)

From an owners standpoint, love. It will never break. From an athlete standpoint…I feel like it’s going to make me better in competitions where an assault bike is used. You have to work for every inch on that thing. There is no coasting. The second you stop pedaling it basically stops. I’m guessing the calorie ratio to an assault bike is about 3:5.

Not a fan of how quick the monitor shuts off, but that may get easier the more I use it.

Have you used one in WODs?

Never used one but I know a few athletes who have and they said they dont like it. The belt slips and it doesn’t count properly.

Interesting. I haven’t had that happen but if it did I could see the issue. “Properly” for the machine, yes. Compared to the assault bike, it takes more work. I can see people complaining. ? Kinda like an EMOM that you suck at.
