October 28, 2016 – Invictus Athlete

Primary Strength Session
A.
Every two minutes, for 12 minutes (6 sets):
3 Front Squats + Jerk @ 90% of 1-RM C&J

B.
Every 3 minutes, for 21 minutes:
Power Snatch Barbell Cycling
*Set 1 – 8 reps @ 55% of 1-RM Snatch
*Set 2 – 8 reps @ 55%
*Set 3 – 8 reps @ 55%
*Set 4 – 5 reps @ 60%
*Set 5 – 2 reps @ 65%
*Set 6 – 2 reps @ 65%
*Set 7 – 1 rep @ 70%

For these sets, the goal is to keep the barbell in your hands and complete the reps effeciently and unbroken. As we get closer to the competition season it will become increasingly important to know what loads you can handle touch-n-go, and which you’ll benefit from resetting with.

C.
Three sets of:
185/125 lb Push Press x Max Reps @ 13X1
Rest 3 minutes
(Perform one push press every 5 seconds, for as many reps as possible – terminate the set if you fall off of the tempo.)

Hope the wrist gets better soon and you can get back to regular training! If it’s not heeled in the next week I’d recommend getting a PT to have a look at it.

Session 1: Primary Conditioning A. 8:44 B. ?? I think 23ish minutes – I was on my last set of KB swings when the power went out. Gymnastics Metcon Done – Not for time since the power was out, I took the opportunity to just move. Did a set of 16 SHSPU! Also did the dips on the parallel bars with no kip…I felt like my triceps looked like cooked lobster tail afterwards, but that was a good change of pace. Session 2: Primary Lifting A. Done at lower percentage, it just wasn’t happening at 90% today. 175/175/185/185/185/185 B. Set… Read more »

Little bit of both. Legs felt trashed on the squats and I wasn’t being aggressive and really getting underneath the bar on the jerk. I think I was just fatigued going in. My 90% was supposed to be 200#.
