PM Session: Every 2 minutes, for 24 minutes (12 sets): Split Jerk *Sets 1-4 = 2 reps @ 70-80% *Sets 5-8 = 2 reps @ 80-90% *Sets 9-10 = 1 rep @ 90-95% *Sets 11-12 = 1 rep @ 95+% *I modified this a bit based on how I felt last week. I did 9 sets total, every 2 minutes. I wanted to limit the number of doubles I did because catching the second rep above 80% has been bugging my wrist. So I did this: 4×2: 185/205/215/225 (80%) 5×1: 235/245/255/265/275 (96%) – the single at 275 flew up. Felt… Read more »

So fun fact. I only do push jerks. I don’t do split jerks. Haven’t done them in about 3 years. I’m just much stronger with a push jerk. But today I kept the weight lighter and did split jerks to see how they would go. A. 35/45/55/65/70 B. 145 C. Started at 170 and worked my way up to 200#. Just singles D. 4:30/4:47/5:08/5:28….I only did 7 muscle ups though. I did whatever I could do in 2 sets otherwise I wouldn’t have finished. Then did the remaining muscle ups after the workout. I was happy with this though my… Read more »

Primer done
A) Up to 115
B) 205
C) Doubles were 245/255/265/275/285/295, singles were 305×3/315 and called it a day here – 315 took about 8 seconds to stabilize overhead, so figured that was all I had in the tank today
D) Woof – 3:50/3:56/4:17/4:56. Rode the lightning for the first 3 rounds, then ran out of gas on the last one. Everything ub until the last set of MU which was 6-4, and I used the bike erg
E) Done

AM Session: Three sets of: 40 Goblet Squats (24/16 kg) Rest 60 seconds 40 Kettlebell Deadlifts (24/16 kg) Rest 60 seconds Goblet Squats: 1:10 / 1:21 / 1:42 All unbroken. On the third set I didnt pick up the KB right at 60 seconds which is why there is the extra time. Deadlifts: 1:17 / 1:25 / 1:35 All unbroken. Rested a little longer than 60 seconds before picking these up. Focus was constant movement and no pauses at the top. The last 10 reps of each set got a little slow but overall I moved without many pauses. Four… Read more »

I do like using the accessory work to get yourself primed for the rowing but you need to be smart on how you incorporate it. I would have did this a little differently. A. Three sets of: 40 Goblet Squats (24/16 kg) Rest 60 seconds 40 Kettlebell Deadlifts (24/16 kg) Rest 60 seconds B. Three sets for times of: Row 500 Meters Rest 60 seconds Row 350 Meters Rest 60 seconds Row 250 Meters Rest 3 minutes C. Four rounds for completion of: 25 GHD Hip Extensions 100-Foot D-Ball or Sandbag Carry – 150# Rogue Sandbag D. Four rounds of:… Read more »

Okay good to know. I never really thought to do that. That looks way better lol. Sometimes I get hung up on doing everything in order, how it’s written. I’ll start thinking like that for the remainder of the cycle. Thanks!
