1 x 10 bw side lunges
1 x 10 bw squats

2 x 6 40# DBs
1 x 5 50# DBs

Sumo Squats
5 x 10 50# DBs

Bulgarian Split Squats
2 x 10 bw
1 x 10 20# DB
1 x 6 30# DB
1 x 5 40# DB

I went fast on my sets of lunges. Got a killer pump tonight. Split squats were a mofo, but I'm glad I got them in. I think I'll be walking funny tomorrow.

Anybody have any other hamstring exercises I could work in besides Curls and Deadlifts? I've done Curls with bands and those big fitness balls, but the DBs are hitting it the hardest, for now.

I dunno if by deadlifts you are talking about actual deadlifts or RDL's.

If actual deadlifts, look up RDL (romanian deadlift). Fantastic hammy exercise.

Yeah, doing stiff leg with dumbbells trying to get a really deep stretch.

I've never done RDLs. Guess I'll give them a try next week.

Yea single leg RDLs with DBs are pretty killer for the hamstrings. Could also do kettlebell swings, cable pull throughs, other DL variations like curtsies or zerchers, and sled drags.

Partner WOD today..

Kinda like a 12 days of Christmas workout.

5 Burpees
6 Goblet Squats 70/50
7 Pull-ups
8 Cals on the Assault Bike
9 DB deadlifts 2 70s
10 Squats
11 Push-ups
12 DB Lunges 70/50
13 Cal Row
14 Box Jumps

Went like
5 burpees each..
6 Goblet squats each then 5 burpees each
7 pull-ups each, 6 GS each, 5 burpees each..

And so on until you got to the 14 box jumps and worked your way back down.

We were coming back down on the final round at the 40 min cap Rx.

Nursing a shoulder strain. It felt a little raw on a few lifts, but held up ok. I'm closing on 2 weeks with it and it's definitely getting better. I'll stick with the light weights amd keep lifting like this until it feels right.

Oddly, I got a nice pump in my chest and biceps.

Also, I started off this morning with a half mile walk carrying a 20# KB.

Today's lifts:

Power clean: 115 x 4 x 3 ... I just started these a few weeks ago and I feel like my technique sucks. I may start just trying with a broom or just the bar until I get more comfortable with the technique.

Bench: 205 x 1 x 5, 205 x 1 x 4, 205 x 1 x 3, 225 x 1 x 1 (PR)
