March 1, 2016 – Invictus Athlete

Session One
Rear Delt Warm Up
Two sets of:
Incline T Raises x 10 reps @ 2121
(face down, raising straight arms at 90 degrees)
Incline Y Raises x 10 reps @ 2121
(face down, raising straight arms at 45 degrees)
Incline I Raises x 10 reps
(face down, raising straight arms in front)

A.
Two sets of:
Supinated-Grip Strict Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups x 5 reps
(initiate the movement with the lats, keep your shoulders away from your ears, and keep your elbows in – if you can do 6 reps with perfect mechanics, then add weight)
Rest as needed
Dumbbell Z-Press x 5 reps
(Place the dumbbells on your shoulders with elbows out and palms facing forward. Shoulders should remain stacked over the hips with a flat back throughout the movement. Lock out the movement overhead, directly aligned over the hips and shoulders, without shrugging. A good goal would be to achieve a weight of 20% of your 1-RM Clean and Jerk in each hand.)
Rest as needed

B.
Ten sets:
60 second Sled Push (light to moderate weight)
Rest 2 minutes

*Sled push should be one continuous effort with no stops. Do not load it so heavy that you cannot maintain movement for 60 seconds.

Session Two
A.
Every 2 minutes, for 24 minutes (12 sets):
Jerk
*Sets 1-2 – 2 reps @ 65-70%
*Sets 3-4 – 2 reps @ 70-75%
*Sets 5-6 – 2 reps @ 75-80%
*Sets 7-8 – 1 rep @ 80-85%
*Sets 9-10 – 1 rep @ 85-90%
*Sets 11-12 – 1 rep @ 90-95%

B.
Three sets for times of:
20/15 Calories of Assault Bike
15 Deadlifts (275/185 lbs)
15 Toes to Bar
Rest 3 minutes

C.
Three rounds for time of:

Dumbell Floor Press x 15 reps @ 21X1

Rest 45 seconds

So I mixed up sessions today to try to get all the things in: Session 1: C2B Pull-ups with 12#/DB Z Press: 35s (I need 37.5s 😉 Jerks: Hit percentages but failed last rep at 175# but hit it prior. Assault Bike/DL/T2B: 2:49/2:48/3:21 Pushed it harder on the Assault Bike on the last two sets, but that kinda took its toll on the third set (just thought I’d push it and see). All DL were 10/5. All T2B were UB! Really didn’t want to on last set. Rested too much on third set, felt winded but was mostly in my… Read more »

One big session this evening! Rear delt warm up – done A. C2B – 18# and Z-Press – 40# DBs B. Split Jerks – worked up to 210#, then missed 215 twice. For some reason I was dropping my elbows at 215 in the dip. 210 went up like a rocket, so not sure what happened mentally there. C. Back Squats from yesterday 170/195/210/235(misloaded the bar, was supposed to be 225)/ 245 D. 3 sets bike/DL/T2B 2:26/2:38/3:00 – decided to sell out on the bike and see what happened 🙂 All bike cal were under 1 min (stayed above 70rpm),… Read more »

I’m alive… I just get SUPER wrapped up in my attempts! I should probably invest in the Mindset Book… (I ended up re-attempting yesterday, and I got 247 up from 240 on Friday. I needed to approach my first attempt the way I got after it yesterday- I needed to be a little more fresh… Sitting 99/9,997 in the North Central right now. Was hoping for top 50, but maybe the next workout will suit my strengths a little better. Fingers crossed…) *Combined Sessions Today: A. 12.5# C2B, 45# Z PRESS B.

335. I know I failed 330 but IMO it was close enough so I put 340 on. I have never even attempted 340 so it was a good day even though I missed.

Haha so I really push the AB. Finishing 20 cals in about 17 seconds. I get right on the deadlifts. Make sure my bar and AB is right by the rig so there’s no wasted time in the transition.

I think you should find a good sync with those and then start building into the chest to bar. The difference is that the chest to bar just has a longer pull with the arms to get all the way to the bar
