Continuing with the program from Repwerks.

Part 1 – Take 15 minutes and work up to a heavy

  • 5 x Back Squat

Then 5 rounds of 2 minutes on/1 minute off of (score total burpees)

  • 12 x Deadlift @ 95lbs
  • 9 x Hang Power Clean @ 95lbs

  • AMRAP Burpees over the Barbell

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!

Spent time working on my Clean skills after watching this Instagram post.

Then 3 rounds of the following complex

  • 3 x Hang Squat Clean
  • 3 x Squat Clean

Then 5 rounds of

  • 1.1.1 x Squat Clean, pause and reset between reps

Then two 4 minute, 20/10 Tabatas, rest as needed between.

  • Tabata 1 – Russian Twist @ 14kg
  • Tabata 2 – TRX Knee Tucks

Results: Foot movement was good with lighter weights, with heavier weight noticed that only my right foot moved. I also widened my grip so that the bar sat higher in my hip crease rather than on my upper thigh. Power Cleans and Cleans 65-75-85lbs. Squat Cleans 95-115-135-155-160lbs.
