September 13, 2016 – Invictus Athlete

Primary Strength Training Session
A.
Every 2 minutes, for 6 minutes (3 sets):
3-Position Clean + Jerk @ 60%
(high hang, mid-patella, floor)

Followed by…

Every 2 minutes, for 12 minutes (6 sets):
Hang Clean + 2 Cleans + Jerk
*Sets 1-2 = 70%
*Sets 3-4 = 80%
*Sets 5-6 = 85%

B.
Every 2 minutes, for 6 minutes (3 sets):
Clean Pull + Clean & Jerk @ 85-90%

I am aware that this will be challenging. The goal is to pre-fatigue you a bit and for you to still maintain perfect mechanics off the ground to hit a high percentage of your 1-RM.

C.
Every 3 minutes, for 12 minutes (4 sets):
Split Jerk
*Set 1 = 1 rep @ 90%
*Set 2 = 1 rep @ 95%
*Set 3 = 1 rep @ 95+%
*Set 4 = 1 rep @ 95+%

D.
“Power Hungry”
For max calories:
3 Minutes of Assault Bike

This is a test. Please give full effort. It will be something that we track periodicially throughout the year.

No need to apologize but more concerned that you need to listen to your body and adjust accordingly. Sounds like your body is trying to tell you something. Just make sure you listen to it!

Nice work hitting 20 unbroken muscle-ups! Look after that wrist and make sure your adjusting accordingly. There’s no point in forcing it and making it worse.

Felt good on the lifting. I didn’t have any misses. The jerks where rough though. I just have to get back into putting the heavy stuff overhead again. Along with my shoulder endurance too, but it’s a process.

Thanks coach. I really want to get better at catching myself higher on both rings and bar. Hoping that will prevent those small sets deeper into workouts.
