I like it, but it’s long.

60-75 min 3 days per week: Mon, Wed, Fri

I’ll post one of the days here to give you an idea of what it is like.

Here is one of the workouts from this week..

Monday (Session One)

A. Every minute, on the minute, for 4 minutes (4 sets): Snatch Press from Receiving x 5 reps Built over the course of the four sets.

Followed by….

Every 90 seconds, for 6 minutes (4 sets): Snatch Balance x 3 reps Building in weight, but don’t go heavier than you can comfortably and safely bring back down to your back rack.

B. Every 2 minutes, for 12 minutes (6 sets): Slow Pull Snatch

*Set 1 – 2 reps @ 70% of 1-RM Snatch
*Set 2 – 2 reps @ 75% of 1-RM Snatch

There is no re-dip.....so once you pull you don't dip under the bar. You make your pull or extension and go straight up with it.

Think push press vs. push jerk

I did it in 23 min. Double unders kept getting interrupted because my jump rope hitting my pony tail. Cussing and throwing the rope didn’t help.

Finally bought a rope that was long enough and it sadly did not help my performance. Just hurts a lot worse when I miss

Saw the PT.. a shoulder impingement from last week seems to have caused my pain. Had a big knot where my bicep and front delt meet. Dry needled it, boy that was weird. It's sore af now but ROM is better and I can pick up things without much pain. Gave me some exercises to strengthen those muscles.

Also, my elbow issue seems to be early stages of tendonitis. Once my shoulder is healed up we can check more on the elbows, but shoulder pain was stopping proper assessment of elbows.

Rounded back is just from years of bad posture. Going to take a long time of concerted effort stretching, and exercises to fix.

Workout of the Day

Max Reps From The Rack

Body Weight Front Squat
X 3, Rest 6 Minutes (20x1)

**Set is over if you pause for more than 2” at the top

Scale: 50-75% of bw, must get at least 7 reps

I did 155

What a doozy. Short, extremely intense sets. First set I took too long on rep 12 so got 11 reps. 2nd set I hit failure on 10, left me shaking head to toe. 3rd set I hit failure at 9, more shaking. Brutal, but really fun if you just attack it.

Not sure I fully understand this, but looks like something I would like.

We had a 20 minute partner amrap today(noon) with 53lb
headcutters and 300 meters rows, and even with the partner rest, I am still exhausted at 4:55.
