March 4, 2017 – Invictus Athlete

Scheduling Note – If you plan to tackle the Open workout for the second time on Sunday, you are well advised to rest or do only some light circulatory work – like bicycling – on Saturday. If, on the other hand, you have the ability to perform 17.2 again on Monday and still submit your score before the deadline, I would suggest performing the workout below – or a reduced volume version of it, and then resting on Sunday.

Primary Training Session
A.
Three rounds, not for time – performed at 75-80% effort:
Row 500 Meters
1-2 Legless Rope Climbs (15′)
50 Double-Unders

B.
Three sets of:
Tempo Back Squat x 4 reps @ 41X1
Rest as needed

Aim for around 75% of your 1-RM back squat, but adjust up or down based on your ability to maintain the prescribed tempo.

C.
Every 15 minutes, for 45 minutes (3 sets) for times:
Run 1600 Meters
15 Deadlifts (275/185 lbs)
30 Strict Handstand Push-Ups

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.

Strongman Training Option
A.
Two sets for max weight of:
100-Foot Farmer’s Carry
(turn every 50-feet)
Rest 3-4 minutes

If you make the whole distance on the second set, keep holding the handles stationary until you can no longer hang on.

Rest 5 minutes, and then…

B.
Three sets of:
100-Foot Harnessed Sled Pulls
Rest 60 seconds

Rest 3 minutes, and then…

C.
Two sets of:
100-Foot Single-Arm Reverse Sled Drag (left arm)
Rest 60 seconds
100-Foot Single-Arm Reverse Sled Drag (right arm)
Rest 60 seconds

Rest 3 minutes, and then…

D.
Three sets of:
100-Foot Sled Sprint
(load light enough that you can perform for maximal speed)
Rest 60 seconds

Running Endurance Option
Two or Three sets of:
7 Minutes of Running
3 Minutes of Jogging

Did some recovery on the bike today, tore my hand yesterday on 17.2 ? Hands were taken care of, but a callous ripped like underneath (like a canyon on my hand). Happened on the 3rd rep on the 2nd round of bar MU. Slowed way down because I had to keep throwing chalk in my hand to slow down the bleeding (it was pooling in my hand). Really frustrated with this, I had a great pace going! Got stopped at 12 T2B on rd 5 🙁 Getting it healed up, got some grips today, actually jumped up on the bar… Read more »

Thank you. I’m never 100% on how much to try to fit in, but I think this was the right amount tonight. Full rest day tomorrow.

Cause the 1 mile rowt was running down a long straight away right into the cold ass wind here in wisconsin today. The .8 rowt is through a neighborhood that wasn’t quite as crappie.
