Sandbag carry shuttles x5 rounds: walk 30 ft. then return to start, walk 40 ft. then return to start, walk 50 ft. then return to start. One minute rest between rounds.

Built up to 80% back squat then went back down for giant sets.

3 giants sets of box jumps, back squats, weighted plank, 12 calorie row (tried to improve the row time each round)

5-4-3-2-3-4-5
tempo back squats (4440)
DB steps up (each leg)
00:30 wall sit

The tempo squats were absolutely brutal. I was very humbled by light weights on that last part. I downloaded a simple metronome app to keep my tempo consistent and that worked very good.

Deads 5/3/1-265/300/335(4)
Giant Sets
Rack Pulls 5x5-355
Reverse Hypers 5x10-225
Assault Bike 1 min x5

Felt strong. I could’ve pushed on the AMRAP of 335, but I didn’t see the point. Doing the required reps four times over is good work in my book.

Finished a long 5x3 at 80-85%ish of my 1RMs.

Last sets:
305 Squat
255 Bench
350 Deadlift
175 Strict Press
+100lbs on Tricep Dips
+35lbs on Weighted Pullups

I start around my 1RMs guesses and climb to a tough 3 rep set.

Tweaked the back of my left shoulder on the dips. No pain in any shoulder position, just tightness.

10 min AMRAP - 100 ft. farmer's walks

Built up to 85% deadlift for 1 rep, then went back down for giant sets.

3 giant sets: 00:20 KBS, deadlift, dragon flags, 5 burpee box jump overs

5 rounds: 6 snatch grip deadlifts, 10 snatch grip power shrugs, 00:30 snatch grip hold, 1 min rest

The snatch grip holds were the worst part of the assistance work after the deadlifts and shrugs had already fatigued my hook grip and upper back. Very fun one this morning.

I squatted 285 lbs 3 times yesterday. I was pretty damn pleased. Probably could have gone a little heavier if I had someone spotting. I'll take it though.

Get you some safety bars.

I bench and squat alone most of the time.

So I hit the bodyweight goals yesterday

Ring chinups- 25 total reps
Ring puships- 75 reps
Lunges- 200 reps
Strict hanging leg raises- 50 reps

I started lower on these than I expected but the accumulated fatigue was more than expected. Gonna add one rep a day for 100 days.

Also lifted

DB shoulder press- rpt
Ring pushups-rpt
DB lateral raises- 3 sets until failure
Simulated rope climbs-2 sets
Overhead tricep extension with KB and a band-3 sets of 10 using an exaggeration on the stretch with a pause.

The daily bodyweight lifts are going to be hard to fit in, but I will make it happen.

Deloading. Upper yesterday.

Lower today. 4 giant sets of 45 second tempo box squats, sissy squats, sled drags and glute ham raises.

2 giant sets of ab wheel, calves and suitcase carries.

Tabata air bike to finish.

I decided to do tempo squats with a 5 second negative and never rising above 3/4 to keep constant tension on the quad. I think I effed up. I can barely stand. Not exactly a deload.

Conditioning: 10 min EMOM - 3 sandbag over shoulders + plank the remaining time of that minute.

Built up to 75% 1 rep OHP then went back down for giant sets

3 giant sets: weighted pull-ups, OHP, handing windshield wipers, 200 ft. sandbag carry

2 rounds - 40 sec work, 20 sec rest
Arnold presses
Lateral raises
Banded face pulls
Neutral grip DB bench press

I have a skierg being delivered today and I'm pumped. I have used those before when I was going to a Crossfit gym and fell in love with the thing. Don't get me wrong, an airbike is brutal, but the skierg will also get you in the pain cave really fast too if you push it. Anyways, should be a good option in conjunction with the rower. Open the hips on the rower, close the hips on the ski.
