August 13, 2016 – Masters Program

A.
Handstand against wall x 30 reps
55+ Handstand against wall x 20 reps

Kick up to a handstand against the wall, insuring proper hand placement in width and distance from the wall.  Utilize any wall handstand option necessary for successful landing.  If you land on your knees count as a “”””no rep”””” and repeat the handstand.  The object is to make at least one foot touch the wall and land successfully.  If you make it to the wall attempt to bring the lead foot to the wall as well.  Ultimately you will want to consistently kick up, bring your feet together and then make contact with the wall to count the rep.

Thanks Pete. I am following the Invictus Endurance Programing. I typically run 3x’s a week separate from the masters program. I have been following it all summer and enjoy the variety of runs and challenge they present.

I’m not a runner but I know I need to do something to fix that.

You mentioned Dark Horse Rowing, have you done their “Damper Setting Test” workout? If so was it helpful? I feel like I have a pretty good idea on my settings but then again maybe something like that would be interesting to do and see what the results are.

A: wasn’t sure if these were just kick ups onto a wall so did 30 of those then 15 freestanding kick up with max hold. B: Did Hatch Day 1 Week 1- Nichole I’d like your thoughts on substituting Hatch for the days we BS and FS. Rep schemes are very similar. Too much volume? This is really the only squat cycle I’ve ever had any success with increasing my squat. C: 11:02- used 155lbs and power cleans. Row 3:38. Cleans (10 singles, 5 UB, 5 singles, 5 UB, 5 singles) Took a lot longer than it should of! Finding… Read more »
