December 9, 2017 – Invictus Athlete

Primary Training Session
A.
For the following two drills, draw out your ideal jerk footwork and use those marks to ensure perfect footwork. Please click here and watch this video to learn how to draw your footwork.

Three sets of:
Jerk Balance x 3 reps
Rest as needed

Followed by…

Three sets of:
Tall Jerks x 3 reps
Rest as needed

B.
Every 2 minutes, for 12 minutes (6 sets):
Split Jerk with a 2 second pause in the dip & 2 second pause in the catch

*Sets 1-2 = 1 rep @ 82.5% of 1-RM Split Jerk
*Sets 3-4 = 1 rep @ 87.5% of 1-RM Split Jerk
*Sets 5-6 = 1 rep @ 92.5% of 1-RM Split Jerk

C.
Build to today’s 8-RM Dumbbell Z-Press

The dumbbells should be placed on the shoulders with the elbows out and palms facing foward. Keep the shoulders on top of the hips with a flat back, and keep your elbows in line with your hips and shoulders. Pause for one second at the top of the lift to ensure that the lockout is overhead – not forward. A good benchmark is to have each dumbbell be 20% of your max clean and jerk.

Compare results to September 16, 2017.

D.
Four sets of:
Against a 4-minute running clock…
400 Meter Run
25 Wall Ball Shots (30/20 lbs)
Max Rep Deadlifts in remaining time
Rest 4 minutes

Deadlift loads:
Set 1: 225/155 lbs
Set 2: 275/185 lbs
Set 3: 315/215 lbs
Set 4: 365/245 lbs

Please adjust loads accordingly. The final weights should be challenging, but form should never be compromised.

Compare results to September 23, 2017.

Strength A) Done 95/115/135 for both. I treat these as warm ups and positioning practice. B) Sets 1-2 = 270, Sets 3-4 = 285, sets 5-6 = 300 C) 8 RM was 55lb, did 7 at 60 D) Round 1 – 1:46/2:45/27 Round 2 – 1:48/2:50/18 Round 3 – 1:56/3:00/11 Round 4 – 1:58/3:00/6 Our 400m run, the first 200m is downhill and the way back is up hill, which definitely added some posterior burn after the first round. PM Treadmill Session 5 x 2:00 run at 85-90% w/ 90 sec rest between runs. followed by… 4×10 Strict Pullup, 4×12… Read more »

A. done
B. sets 1-2 @ 215, 225
sets 3-4 @ 240

Built to 35# DBs for 8RM – rep 8 was sketch. Buuuut only got 4 reps with 35# DBs on Sept 16, so a 4rep PR! 35# is about 21.5% of my 1RM c&j ?? Strength Accessory: A. Skipped – heaviest bag is 55#, and it’s a copper bag and I’m not sure how to cycle c&press with a D-ball…which go… Read more »
