My Right groin/ hip flexors were destroyed from last night. I couldn't take a full step to save my life.

A. 160# I went TnG for 3+1 every round.

EMOM went better than anticipated with my right hip as it was. Even DUs felt OK.

Today I am very sore tho.

Tuesday, May 24, 2016

Monday- Mvt warm up (glutes) + Position Snatch + Snatch/MU Density + SL/Pull Density
3 sets not for time:
20 Lateral Crossover Box Step Ups
5 KB Windmill each arm
10 Banded OHS
+
A. 2 Snatch Pulls + Squat Snatch, build to tough set in 12 min **not TnG on ground, 3 sec pause in catch of snatch
B1. Snatch, 8 x 3 TnG @ 60%, rest 45 sec
B2. Muscle Ups, 8 x 3, rest 45 sec
+
16 min EMOM
1st- 10 Jerk Grip Overhead Walking Lunges, 115#
2nd- 6-8 CTB Pull Ups

"Warm up" done, felt the crossover step ups and windmills activating muscles I don't typically pay attention to.

A. Worked up to 175
B1. Snatches at 130
B2. MUs

Done. Snatches got a little ugly towards the end. Right shoulder likes to internally rotate at the catch and left should likes to shoot forward so I end up rotating a little.
To my surprise I got all the MUs done.

EMOM kicked my butt.

Grinded thru the first 6 rounds. On round 7 I only got 4 steps in bar just kept crashing forward on me. Then finished the 8 th round.

CTB all sets of 6, only did butterfly on first 2 rounds. Regular kip the other 6. Just wasn't quite getting up to the bar with the butterflies.

Next day, my left shoulder is on fire and my right hip flexors are so tight they hurt.
Saturday- Clean Density + Long MAP (squatting/bending)
A. Clean, 2/min @ 85% x 6 min **doesn’t have to be TnG but you can try TnG
+
3 sets
Row 1000m @ 2:10/500m
5 Front Squats @ 75% (from ground)
Rest 60 sec b/w sets
+
3 sets
Bike 50 Cals
5 Deadlifts @ 75%
Rest 60 sec

A. @225, done. These felt and looked awful. Failed twice. Feet weren't even moving and elbows were super slow. Not happy here.

Rowing +FSQ
@245 somehow cleaned all three sets off the ground and these cleans felt and looked much stronger than the lighter 225.

6:00
6:53
7:13

AD +DL
@300# all touch and go, we got new AD and I feel like these take longer to accumulate cals...

A1. 50, 70,70,70

EMOM was super tough.

Skipped the 5th round of rope climbs cause I had no pull. Muscle ups were super rusty. First 2 rounds might as well have been strict. Did 5 rounds UB then 2+1. Down side to being back up in body weight from 150 to 160 lol!

Tester 5:09
Split at 15+10+5 on round 1 of WB and KBS, last round of WB were sets of 5. Found the suck.
Thursday
A. Overhand No hook grip Deadlift, 1RM
B. Farmer’s Carry- 1 x max distance w/ 50% of A in each hand
C. CG Bench Press- 1RM



A. 335, I dropped 355 right before I locked it out. So close.
B. 165# per hand, 125'. That includes 2 180 degree turns tho. I think if I could have walked in a straight line I was good for 100 meters or more. The turns were by far the hardest part.

C. Jumped in on a bro sesh going on and managed to hit 225, 255, 285, then miss 300 twice.



A. Overhead Squat @ 15X1, 3 x 5, rest 90-120 sec
B. 3-Position Snatch (high hang, above knee, below knee), 1 set/90 sec for 6 sets
C. Back Squat @ 30X1, 4 x 6 reps, rest 2-3 min
D1. L-sit Hang- 3 x 20-30 sec, rest as needed
D2. Banded Good Mornings, 3 x 20 reps, rest as needed

A. Did these at 135, felt ok my right shoulder kept trying to pop out of position, it was a fight trying to keep it externally rotated.

B. 135#. First 2 sets were rough, but I started to get more comfortable towards the end. Landed on my toes way to many times tho.

C. 225, 275, 275, 290. If I had more time I would have done 290 again

Didn't know if the tempo was going to make a big difference from what i was doing during the previous sqt cycle. But it ended up not making a big difference at all.

C. 325 front squat, 5# PR but I am quite certain I have more. The only reason I couldn't get more was I was having a hard time holding my breath during the set up.
