October 23, 2017 – Masters Program 4.0

Dynamic Mobility & Activation
Spend 60 seconds in a Butterfly Stretch

and then …

Two sets of:
Fire Hydrant Iso Hold x 60 seconds per side
Banded Hip Bridges x 10 reps

and then …

One set of:
External Hip Rotation Drill x 60 seconds per side

A.
Every 2 minutes, for 16 minutes, complete:
Clean Lift-Off + Clean

Build over the course of the 8 sets. If mechanics feel good then keep building in weight. If the mechanics feel off then keep the weight light and work on form.

B.
Three sets of:
Super Slow Front Squats x 4 reps
Rest 3 minutes
Strict Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups x 6 reps; 60+: 4 reps
Rest 3 minutes

The intention here is to be super slow on the way down and super slow on the way up. The goal is to have 25 seconds under tension, around 12 seconds down and 12 seconds up. Do not stand all the way up but go up only 3/4 of the way and then pull yourself right back into your next squat.

Super Slow Squats

C.
Four sets of:
60 seconds of Assault Bike @ 70/60 RPM
60 seconds of Rope Climbs w/legs
60 seconds of Burpees
60 seconds of Rowing for calories
Rest 4 minutes

60+: 60/50 RPM

D.
Three sets of:
JM Press x 6 reps
Rest as needed
Banded Lat Pull-Downs x 30 reps
Rest as needed

Did Saturday’s program today (life is getting in the way…): Morning: Scap Pull-ups and pronated grip pull-ups – done (8/8/6) on the latter part (wasn’t able to pull all the way up on the last 2 reps) B1 – DL – worked up to 2 x 205# (90% would have been 215#, but just didn’t have that at 6am) B2 – E2MOM10 – Speed DLs @ 185# (80% would have been 195#) – again, 6am just doesn’t lend itself for heavy lifting… in my case anyway.

It’s fine. This isn’t the first time I’ve done this. Oh no. On multiple occasions I’ve gotten too aggressive with the ROMWOD poses and been sore the next day. You’d think I would learn. *SMH*. I should be 100% this afternoon.
