Shoulder Strength plus Double Unders

Trying out some shoulder strength work as rehab.

  • 10 x Banded Pull
  • 10 x Banded Press
  • 30 x Banded Pulses (10 down, 10 middle, 10 up)
  • 30 second Palloff Press

Double Under Flight Simulator. For time

  • 5-10-15-20-25-30-35-40-45-50-45-40-35-30-25-20-15-10-5 x Unbroken Double Unders

Results: Metcon 9:37. Missed on the outbound round of 20 and the return round of 40. Otherwise needed only one attempt at each.

TRX Reverse Rows, RFE Split Squats and Pushups

No gym, sore shoulder… a slow, rebuilding workout after a week of rest.

Every 90 seconds for 24 minutes (4 rounds of each)

  • Station 1 – 8-10 x TRX Reverse Rows
  • Station 2 – 8-10 x TRX Rear Foot Elevated Split Squat with Sandbag @ 15kg Left Leg
  • Station 3 – 8-10 x TRX RFE Split Squat with Sandbag @ 15kg Right Leg
  • Station 4 – 10-15 Pushups

Results: Done as shown. Slight ache in my shoulder during the pushups but no significant pain, so figured it is OK.

Ab Work then SDL and DUs

A couple of ab workouts from Kari Pierce’s Instagram…

4 rounds of 30 seconds on/30 seconds off

Get in Russian Twist position without any weight, then simulate rope climb with arms.

Then a 1-10 ladder of

Then for time a 2-4-6…20 ladder of

  • Single Leg Deadlift @ 15kg (do all reps on one leg before switching to next)
  • Between each round 30 Double Unders

Results: Interesting combo, Single Leg Toe Touches were hard as were the SDL, even with the light weight. Metcon 17:22.

Mountain Climbers, Wall Sit, RFE Squats

Now that I have shipped all my weights to our new home in CH, only have a limited set of equipment…. jump rope, TRX, 15kg Sandbag, a bucket full of sand, my own bodyweight. So tried something new by doing this workout from Semir Jasarvic on Instagram.

4 rounds, rotate through each movement, 35 seconds on/25 seconds off

  • 1 – Wall plank mt. climbers
  • 2 – Wall sit extensions
  • 3 – Wall donkey kicks⁣
  • 4 – Rear foot elevated wall squats⁣
  • 5 – Dynamic Planks
  • 6 – Single leg wall glute bridge

Results: All new movements so the first couple of rounds were not very good but got the hang of it by the end.

Warning… for #5 Up/Down Wall Planks, almost dislocated my weak (right) shoulder on the first rep so switched to just dynamic planks. Will see what damage was done once I cool down 🙁

For #1, started as shown but switched to just slow tempo Mountain Climbers since the original was so intense on the shoulders and I didn’t feel anything in my Core.

#3 was my favorite. Will need to do more of those!
