Clean + Jerk @ 70-85%

followed by…

Every 2 minutes, for 4 minutes, complete:
Clean Pulls x 2 reps @ 100-105%

C.
2015 Masters Qualifier Event 1 Workout
Complete as many reps as possible in 5 minutes of:
5 Muscle-Ups
10 Cleans

40-49: 155/105 lbs
50-54: 135/95 lbs
55-59:
Complete as many reps as possible in 5 minutes of:
5 Dips
10 Cleans (135/95 lbs)
60+:
Complete as many reps as possible in 5 minutes of:
5 Dips
10 Cleans (115/75 lbs)

If you completed this event in 2015 then make sure to look back at your score so you know what number you can crush. 🙂 If you struggle with muscle-ups, then make sure to start off with a number that won’t burn you out. I shouldn’t see anyone getting a new UB MU PR in a workout like this. The muscle-ups will make or break you so break them up early on and ensure the shortest rest time needed to prevent tricep fatigue. The same applies with the dips.

Optional Session (Best performed 3-4 hours between sessions)
A.
Every 8 minutes, for 32 minutes, complete:
Row x 500 meters
5 Bar Muscle-Ups
10 Burpees over the Erg

50-54: 95/65 lbs; 3 Bar Muscle-Ups
55-59: 65/45 lbs; 3 Bar Muscle-Ups
60+: 65/45 lbs; 5 Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups

B.
Three sets, not for time, of:
Glute Ham Raises x 6-8 reps @ 3111
Rest 60 seconds
Ab-Wheel Roll-Outs x 8-10 reps
Rest 60 seconds

Had to coach so could only get qualifier done.
53 reps that is 4 more than I did the year I went to the games. Only 135# this time. Muscle ups were unbroken except 4 round 4/1 did singles on cleans no break drop and grab. I feel I am fresher in a couplet when I do it this way. Pretty happy with this.

Only got to the lifting again today then to the Chiropractor to figure out what to do with my neck.
A: 215; 225; 235; 245; 255(2);265(2)- 10 lb increase
B1: 185; 195; 205; 215; 215; 220; 225; 227- Still collapsing under the bar. Felt heavy this morning.
B2: 280lbs
C: small rip from yesterday’s BMU work so decided to let that heal and skip the MUs. Wish using grips didn’t bother me so much.

MRI wasn’t good as the Chiro explained to me. Get to see him once a week now along with dry needling To make a long story short. Arthritis in my C spine. Bulging disks C2-C7 causing pressure on the nerves in addition to severe cervical stenosis (narrowing of spinal cavity the nerve runs through) in some of the disks on right and left and moderate in the others. That would explain the burning sensation the last 2-3 months down my right arm when I sit and the pain and weakness in my bicep in my left arm going overhead and… Read more »

Oh gosh Corey I am so sorry to hear that! Arthritis and bulging discs are not something you want to mess around with and can be a pain (literally and figuratively). Please keep an eye on this – I don’t want to aggravate this anymore. Your being so physically fit is definitely a silver lining! 🙂
