W1

Friday 
AM - Swimming Laps
25m Swim ALL OUT per min x 30 mins

PM - DL Cluster %’s + Jerk int + SNB 
Deadlift Cluster, 1.1.1.1.1 @ 60% RM x 4 sets, 2 min - pull hard, drop every rep
+
Split Jerk Cluster off blocks, 1.1.1 - work to a tough set
+
Snatch Balance, work to a tough single

DL @ 275 felt good.
SJ- 225, 245 for 2, I don't have blocks so I lowered it down and racked it for 5-10 sec.  245 felt good on 1 & 2 so I could have gotten it if I had blocks but oh well.
SB- 255, need to work on speed and staying back in heels

Saturday 
AM - Row based 30 min Low
30 min @ 75%:
250m Row
30 sec Right Side Bridge
30 sec Left Side Bridge
250m Row
60 sec Front Bridge

6 + Row + Side Bridges (31 min to finish side bridges).  Kept Row @ about 1:57 for first half then last have more like 1:53.  Felt good here, treated it basically like 60/60 Row MAP session.  Pace felt good.

PM - Running based 30 min Low (rounds)
30 min @ 75%:
200m Row
10 KBS - 24kg
10 Air Squats

15 + Run.  Estimated run at house by running 30 sec out on the first run so it may have been a little far.  Pretty much kept same pace throughout, little slower towards the end just wiping my hands before grabbing KB. Low back is tight today (sunday).

Monday 
AM - tng DL emom %’s + Snatch int + Thruster int
Deadlift, 5 touch n go @ 60% RM per min x 5 mins
+
Halting Snatch DL. Squat Snatch, 1.1 - work to a moderate set
+
Fat Bar Thruster, build to a max set of 5 - bar taken from floor

DL done @ 275, felt pretty good.  Back was still a little sore I guess from Friday and Saturday going into it.  Got somewhat tough last set or 2.
Snatch Complex- built to 200#.  Felt solid, no misses.  Might have had a little more in me but wanted to end on a successful lift.
Thruster- 205# with fat bar.  Pretty tough with fat bar, I like the variety.  I've done 245 for 3 in competition with regular bar.

PM - Press battery + Pull battery + ABC
Strict HSPU to Deficit, 2 tough reps per 30 sec x 10 mins
+
Weighted Shoulder Width Pronated Chin-ups, 2 tough reps per 30 sec x 10 mins

2nd - 10-15 sec L Sit from Pull-up Bar

HSPU @ 10" deficit.  Got very tough at the end.  Last 4-5 sets were very hard.  I was pleased to get this.
Pull Ups @ 35#'s, probably could have done 44# but I didn't really know where to start on this one.  Felt pretty good, felt it a bit in my left shoulder but not bad at all.
10 min EMOM done- mostly 10 seconds each time with a couple of 11 or 12 sec in there.

Tuesday 
AM - AirDyne based 30 min Low
30 min @ 75%:
21 cal AirDyne
3/arm TGU’s @ 16kg

30 min @ 75%:
800m Run
500ft Bear Crawl
800m Run
50 Step Down Box Jumps - 24"
800m Run
Row remaining time

Runs were 4:15, 3:45, approx 4:00.  Bear Crawl 5ish min.  did 200ft unbroken then broken every 100ft for about 10 sec
50 Box Jumps (don't remember time but pretty consistent good pace)
1940m Row to finish.  Wanted 2k but could only hold about 2:05/500m pace.

Wednesday 
AM - BSq int + 3rd Snatch + 3rd Clean + TGU/Carry work
A. Back Squat @ 20X1, 5-5-5, 4 min - all tough sets

C. High Hang Squat Clean, work to a challenging set of 3
D. double Overhead KB Carry @ 24kg/arm, 15 sec walk per min x 5 mins
E. double KB OHS Squats @ 24kg/arm, practice

A. 315, 335, 335, felt pretty tough, got on my toes a bit on 5th rep last 2 sets.
B. 175, solid.  There's more there
C. 225, same as above.  The high hang position for me in the clean is tough.  I think grooving this position really helps with my full lifts though.
D. Complete.  This was difficult.  It's almost impossible for me to do it without hyperextending low back.  This is really going to help overall if this gets better.
E. Yeah right on the 24kg.  I sent you video.  Did some with 20# KB's then did some narrow(ish) grip barbell OHS. 

PM - mixed MAP sets
10 sets @ high effort:
3 Ring Muscle-ups
6 Box Jump Overs - 24”
9 KBS - 24kg
1 min b/t sets
*Mix and match work order every set. 

Complete, 42-45 sec/round.  Didn't keep up with the different versions I did but I just started somewhere different each time.  This was fun.  I could feel it in my gut the last couple sets.

W6P2


Friday 
AM - Swimming Laps
1,000m Swim  for time

29:30.. breathing was ok, I think my last 5 laps were the fasted.  Started a little slow with breaks every 50m just to be safe.  Shoulders were burning pretty good.

PM - DL int + BSq mod slow %’s + ABC + DB Back Extension 
A. Deadlift, work to a single - NO FAILS
B. Back Squat @ 40X1, build to 92-95% for a single @ tempo

250m Row
10 Air Squats
100ft left arm farmer walk @ 32kg KB
100ft right arm farmer walk @ 32kg KB
10 Walking Lunges

5k- ran for 26 min, think it was longer than 3.1 miles.  Clock said 8 min at 1 mile so I sped up, monitor stopped at 1.5 miles and I know I was faster on the way back in, especially the last 800m or so.  Don't think it would have been a PR but wish I had an accurate reading b/c it felt pretty good.
rest about 7 min
20 min- 7 rounds even.  Kept row under 1:58/500m

Monday 
AM - SN int + C&J int + Speed DL + ALEnd

OHS- 265- missed 280, shoulders felt weak. 
DL @ 355- felt ok not great
20 sec, kept around 1000 watts

PM - Upper Stamina
30 Ring Muscle-ups for time

3:22, started off too hot I think.  I have video I did 8 in my first set but pulling so hard that I barely was doing a dip.  May not have done that.  Did 5 on next set then 3's.  I think this is a PR I can't remember last time.  I want sub 3.

Tuesday - MAP Low %'s (55-->75 mins)
5k Row for time
+
rest as needed
+
20 min @ moderate/75%:

25 unbroken DU’s x 2 sets

5k Row- 19:51.  I know this isn't blazing but I'm happy, First time under 20 minutes on this.  Low back was burning most of the time.  HR was around 160 after 2k and up to about 170 for last 1k.  Not the limiter though, low back and butt just being fatigued felt like more the limiter.
6 min rest
20 min- 5 rounds + 10 Cal, Kept RPM @ about 53 on this.  Shoulders felt really fatigued

Wednesday 
AM - FSq int + SNB + Upper Battery

B. Complete, felt smooth and fast
C. 4:47, first 20 done under 2 min.  Did 5's up to 15 then 4, 1 b/c I fell, then 3, 3, 2, 2

A. built to 425, felt pretty solid.
B. @ 365, felt tough but good.
C. Done on the min. Tougher than last time I think. Grip felt more fatigued.
D1. Did GH Sit Up Bench Press @ 3030 w/ 30lbs (holding face up), it's only thing I could think of hard enough for 20 sec of work.  I was at gym alone and could only get 45# on my back for Bridge.
D2. 75#, pause at the top  

Saturday - MAP Low %'s (55-->75 mins)
75 min @ 75%/moderate:
(2 mile run buy-in)

30 sec left side bridge
30 sec right side bridge
800m Row

Run 18:35
+
4 rounds + Bridge + Farmer's Walk, had to cut it 5 min short do to unexpected time conflict.  Breathing was fine, kept row about 2:05 or 2:07.  Shoulders were burning pretty bad the whole time with the farmer's carry and bridge combo.  Had to break the Walks 1-2x's each set after the first one b/c of shoulders burning.

Monday 
AM - SN int + C&J int + Speed DL + ALEnd
Snatch, work to a single
+
Power Clean, work to a single
+
Deadlift, 1 max effort/fast pull every 45 sec @ 76% RM x 12 reps - pull hard, drop each rep
+
AirDyne, 15 sec ALL OUT per 3 min x 6 sets

Snatch- 225
PC- 275
DL- 345
* snatch didn't feel good, PC felt pretty good, 285 is a PR and I almost got it, only tried it once.  Snatch feels heavy off the floor but PC feels ok off the floor 
DL felt a little slow but it's getting up there in weight for me so I guess it's expected.
Assault Bike!!- Did this after PM session b/c I know it was coming in today.  SOO much better! Avg about 1000 watts during 15 sec sprints 

PM - Upper Stamina
AMRAP in 15 minutes - wearing a 20lb vest:
2 Rope Climb to 15ft - always assume you use your legs unless I say legless or L Sit
9 Strict HSPU

5 + 1 RC, this got tougher than expected on grip and pull.  Wore gloves at first and after 4 rounds my grip was shot, took gloves off and it was pretty big difference but still tough.  I thought I'd get a little more here.  

Tuesday - MAP Low %'s (55-->75 mins)
75 min @ 75%/moderate:
(3k Row buy-in)
200m Run
100ft bear crawl

30 cal AirDyne
100ft right arm farmer walk @ 32kg KB
100ft left arm farmer walk @ 32kg KB

3k Row in 12 min, 2:00 pace.  This may be the longest I've held 2:00/500m for.
+
7 rounds + run.  Felt great on this, really enjoyed this session.  Starting to enjoy these long ones. 

Wednesday 
AM - FSq int + SNB + Upper Battery
A. Front Squat, work to a tough set of 3
B. Drop Snatch, work to a challenging single
C. Snatch Balance, work to a challenging single
D. 5 rounds for time:
4 unbroken Ring Muscle-ups
8 unbroken Shoulder to Overhead @ 155lb

A. 335 for 3, definitely a PR.  I've never hit 335 for 1 even.  Felt great.  Tried to video but cut out.
B. 155 for sure, 175 may have been more of Snatch Balance.
C. 245, PR
D. 6:22, breathing was probably the limiter.  Last rep or 2 on shoulder to OH last 2 sets were tough.  Wanted sub 5.  MU's were easy. 

PM - MAP (60/60)
1 set @ high effort:
30 sec Squat Snatch @ 115lb9

60 sec rest
60 sec AirDyneBack up to 59 RPM

I should have never told you the 60/60 last week felt good.  This was awful!  Sled Pushes killed me but everything hurt here.  I don't think I ate enough between a.m. and p.m. b/c muscles felt just dead on everything.  The squats were burning my legs from the start and even the push ups my shoulders were burning pretty bad.  I can tell I haven't done much hip flexion b/c TTB got tough too.
