Primary Training Session
A.
Build to today’s 2-RM Pause Front Squat @ 32X1

D.
Every minute, on the minute, for 10 minutes (5 sets) of:
Interval 1 – V-Up x 15 reps

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.
Three sets of:
Split-Stance Romanian Deadlift x 8 reps each leg @ 4011
Rest as needed

B.
Three sets of:
100-Foot Harnessed Sled Pull

These should be HEAVY! This is a strength element, not conditioning, so load up the sled.

30 seconds of Decline Dumbbell Bench Press

You will likely need a selection of dumbbells to perform this properly. Your goal is to find weights that you can keep moving for almost all of the given time period…but they shouldn’t be so light that you can keep them moving easily.

Started with strength Accessory, part D to warm up my back and shoulders a bit b/c of my little injury yesterday. Face pulls done w/ blue band KB biceps curls done w/ 10kg KB x 8 per arm Primary Session: A. Built to 160# x 1 rep Back was feeling good, got about 6 sets in before 160#….all the sudden my back kinda tightened and seized up at the top of my first rep @160# so I had to re-rack the bar and call it quits. Upper back/left shoulder blade area was inflamed last night but was feeling way better… Read more »

300. 5+ more than last time on all sets
270 for 4
Bar mu practice
Amrap 4+19 scaled the wall balls to 25 if I could do 18 on first set. Training higher reps. Penalty if drop before and have to do 30
Also 115 snatches and toes to ring because pec a little tight

Core work love it. I am very bad at planks for some reason, anterior pelvic tilt my guess

Squeeze that butt and quads on the plank. This should stop that anterior tilt.

FS 2RM: 300lbs (35lbs more than last time)

2×4 @ 270lbs after that. These felt easy.

Tempo Split Romanians: 135-165-185lbs for these sets and that always feels like enough weight…

Decline Bench: 35-50-60-60lbs for max. Only got 6 reps at the max portion. That was harder than it seemed.

V-Up & Plank EMOM done. Ouch.

Face Pulls & Curls done.

A. 205 – last time I failed my second rep at this weight B. 185×4 both sets felt great C. 3 rounds subbed bar MU – I had always assumed a 9′ target for women until I saw CJ’s comment about 9′ being the children’s target lol… this is the first time I’ve ever done a 20# ball to a 10′ target for all reps and it showed. For someone who is 5’0″, it was hard to get more than 5 or 6 reps in before losing rythym or finding myself directly under the target – im not upset about… Read more »

One thing is for sure, throwing the 20lb. To 10ft is only going to make you better. When the Open comes around 14lb to 10ft is going to feel so easy!
