Take 15 minutes and work up to a heavy

  • 3 x Back Squat

Then for practice and form

  • 50 x Alternating Pistol Squats (25 per leg)

Then for time

  • 10 x Toes to Bar
  • 10 x Box Jump Overs
  • 9 x Toes to Bar
  • 9 x Box Jump Overs
  • …reduce by 1 rep per roumd
  • 1 x Toes to Bar
  • 1 x Box Jump Overs

Results: Back Squat got to 220lbs/100kg. Pistols OK… counted the sloppy ones too, but got through all 50. Used a 10lbs plat for heel lift and 5lbs plate for balance. Metcon 6:37.

5 rounds work up to a heavy set ofHang Power Cleans

  • 6 x Hang Power Clean
  • 10 x Bar Dips

Then every 3 minutes for 9 minutes

  • 8 x Power Clean @ final weight from above

Then for total distance

  • 6 x Row 30 second work/30second rest

The 30/30 format is a standard program in the Concept 2, so easy to use and capture.

Results: Hang Power Clean 95-115-120-125-130lbs. Used 130lbs for part 2. I also tried to only use a hook grip for both parts. Was surprise at how well it worked. Takes a lot of pressure off of your fingers and forearms. We’ll see what my thumbnails feel and look like tomorrow. Metcon 833m.

Results: Strict Press 135-140-145-150-155lbs(failed). Warmed up with a 5-3-3-2 rep scheme before starting the singles. Metcon 2 rounds plus 160 reps (15 reps short of 3 rounds). Double Unders were weak, probably because I don’t program them enough.
