1.20.15 - 1.25.15

Week 2 – 1/20/15
Tuesday
A. Every 90 seconds, for 15 minutes (10 sets) of:
2 Front Squats @ 55% bar weight + 25% band tension (same band tension as last week)
6 Strict Handstand Push-Ups
*Use the same HSPU set-up you used last week, or progress it a little to make it harder.
 120# barbell weight for front squats, broke my 6 HSPU into 4/2 each set
B. Clean “First Pull” + Hang Clean + Clean + Jerk @ 80-85%, 5 sets, rest as needed
*Keep all sets between 80 and 85%
 155, 160, 160, 165, 165 – these felt good
C. :45sec AMRAP x 3 sets of;
Ground to Overhead (185/135 lbs)
-Rest 45 seconds after each round
**Work on creating speed and efficiency moving the barbell from ground to overhead. Again, play with both push jerk and push Press keeping in mind in the long run the jerk would be most efficient.
 8, 7, 6
D. RDL (based on 1rm clean) – 1×5@50%, 1×5@60%, 1×5@70%, 2×5@75%x, 1×5@70%
 100, 125, 145, 155, 155, 145
E. Every minute, on the minute, for 10 minutes:
Odd Minutes – 15 Wall Balls (30/20 lb)
Even Minutes – 10 Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups
I used the 20# wall ball and did everything unbroken!!

Wednesday
A.  EMOM, for 12 minutes:
Snatch + Overhead Squat @ 75-80%
*Focus should be more on technique then load
 6 sets at 120#, 6 sets at 125#

Run 100 Meters
2 Muscle-Ups
4 Push Press (115/75 lbs)

Rest 60 seconds
1:48, 1:50, 1:52, 1:58, 1:54, 1:54, 1:54, 1:56, 1:59, 1:54 (finished my last set at 27:59)

C1. Chest supported Supine BB Row; 5 reps x 4 sets, rest as needed
Complete with 115
C2. Strict Ring Dips @ 1112; 8-10 reps x 4 sets, rest as needed (Follow Tempo!)
 Shoulders were feeling really achy on the first set and I couldn’t do the tempo, so I did tricep pushdowns x 8 reps with 60# for the remaining sets
D1. Bamboo Bar Overhead walks; 30-45sec x 3 sets, rest as needed
Red bands + 25#/side

Used orange band with 15’s/side, 17.5/side, 17.5/side
E2. Banded Pull Aparts (lying on bench); 30 reps x 3 sets, rest 60
Complete with orange band. My shoulders started feeling better after doing C, D, E.

Thursday
A. Deadlift; 5 sets, rest 2-3min b/w sets; 10 reps @ 50%, 10 reps @ 60%, 10 reps @ 65%, 8 reps @ 75%, 6 reps @ 80%
*The only difference b/w this and last week is that your are doing 8 reps @ 75% instead of 70%
*Our focus is on rebounding w/out bouncing and proper pulling mechanics. Do not continue to pull if your form breaks down. This only reinforces bad mechanics and will not train weak muscles.
 150, 175, 190, 220, 235 – sets 3-5 were tough

P.M.
Every 2 minutes, for 30 minutes (15 sets):
30-45sec Heavy Sled Push (Heavy but must remain moving entire time)
5-8 Strict Handstand Push-Ups
1 Legless Rope Climb
The sled pushes were unloaded, and ended up being 50-55sec to get down and back across the gym, this part was the hardest because my quads were on fire. I did 5 HSPU every set, started breaking into 3/2 towards the end. Then I did 2 sets with the legless rope climbs, 1 set with no rope climb, 2 sets with legless, and so on…then the last set was supposed to be no rope climb but I just did one since it was the last set. This was really hard.
