EMOM9:
1. 15 Cal AAB
2. 6-8 Ring Thoracic Rotations/Side
3. 4-6 Snatch RDL + 4-6 Sotts Press
+
3x10 Muscle Snatch from starting position


A) Training : A. Snatch Movement Prep: include the following here - 10-15ft PVC overhead duck walks, 5 empty barbell 1&1/4th OHS x2-3 times through
B. Squat Snatch; 5-6 perfect doubles at an ~80% effort; rest as needed (take your time, focus on hitting crisp reps. If you miss more than 3 reps shut it down)
C. Belt Squat @20x1; 8 reps (+/- 1-2) x2-3 sets, rest as needed (moderate effort)
D. SA DB Row + Horizontal Band Tension; 6-8 x2-3/arm, rest 60-90s b/w sides (32.5kg + black band. Lets add a .5-1 sec squeeze at the top here)
+
Stimulative Sport Work:
1 "tough" set of each of the following:
BMU - extend the set as far as you can while keeping quality high
Rest 90-120 sec
15-20 UB OHS (load so it's challenging, but you can move continually w/o having to rest at the top. Goal is >50kg)
Rest 90-120 sec
20 Lateral Bar Burpee at a fast clip, but you can still keep composure/ reps clean
Rest 90-120 sec
25 cal Row @~90% effort
+
Stimulative Sport Work:
1 "tough" set of each of the following:
CTB - extend the set as far as you can while keeping quality high
Rest 90-120 sec
WB - extend the set as far as you can while keeping quality high (goal is >60)
Rest 90-120 sec
20 Lateral Bar Burpee at a fast clip, but you can still keep composure/ reps clean
Rest 90-120 sec
25 cal Row @~90% effort

 B) 100kg was not perfect so I did 5 more Sets at 95. Not the best snatch day. 
 C) Only have thick plates here so more than 50kg is not possible. Had to do 32X0 to get a proper stimulus at that weight.  
D) 35kg cause it was a thinner band. Felt good (10 to 8 Reps)  
BMU: 11 Reps - Muscle Ups are my nemesis  OVHS: 60kg - felt good!  Burpees also crisp in around a min.  Row: 35s - better than last time.   30 C2B - Last 10 Reps suddenly killed me.  65 WB-S - breathed my way through that mid-set burn!  Burpees were rough afterwards.  Row as above.

Warmup: TTT Warm-Up!!!


A) Training: TTT Throwdown Workout
+
10-20 Minute Easy AB, then...
A. Squshy Ball Diaphragm & Psoas Release - 2-3min each side
B. LAX Ball T-spine Crunches - 2 passes over entire spine (flexion (exhlae) -> extension (inhale))
C. Shin-box Rotation + breathing - 10 breaths each side (try to open deeper into rotation w/ each breath)
D. Power lung; 1-2 min x3 sets, rest to full recovery b/w sets
*Focus on a max inhale and exhale w/ a 'low to moderate' resistance setting. Not concerned about breath rate for today, but I want you to keep depth of inhale/ exhale equal. Make sure you lift your elbows up during the inhale; and lower them during the exhale.
*Go in this position, but w/ arms in front rack position holding the device w/ both hands (https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_dWsN49fSVY/maxresdefault.jpg)

   Did:
20 PP 155
30 step ups 80#
40 Burpees
50 Cal Row
X2 Rounds

Feels good to choose a workout now and then when the throwdown would not be a good choice at that given place/time.

115kg for that complex - 115kg was better than 110 in the build up.
120-125-125-125 - although everything was heavy today - this felt good!
BS to 162,5 + 8 Reps / 9 Reps - could have pushed a couple more reps but got slow.
HSPU 20+5kg plate, WPU at 12,5kg was a good weight.

PM: AAB not there yet so rode C2 Bike - this helps me with BB cycling

-apply gentle pressure with your hands to slightly reduce your breathing movements. it should feel as if you are breathing against your hand
-allow a relaxed breath out exhaling gently and easily bringing a feeling of relaxation to your breathing
-try to sustain this for 2-3 minutes - if your breath rhythm becomes chaotic you've created to large an air shortage and should discontinue
+

C. Pike Pulse'; 6-10 reps w/ controlled eccenttric, rest as needed x2-3 sets through (position hands as far back as you need to scale the difficulty back)

   AM: 
Rowed the given paces. This session/day was not too hard. RPE in the end around 9.

PM:
Some of these are not easy, I still think the issue is more in the kipping RMU.
Real L-Sit is just a couple of seconds so I did tuck which wasn't that good either.. Pike Pulses hit my lower abs pretty good! Should keep them! Maybe that PM Session should include a little RMU, a little HSW and those core drills cause I feel my HSW has gotten worse.

3. Seated Box Jumps/Broad Jumps - 3-5 Reps As high as possible
+
5 Min unbroken BB Yoga
—> Sotts Press —> FR Opener —> Cossacks, etc.


A) Training: AM
A. Snatch Pull; 1.1 x2-3, rest ~2 minutes (110-112.5kg. Think of these as a primer for Pt 'B')
B. Snatch; 1.1.1.1 x3-4, rest 20s/ ~2 minutes (Lets try and takew it >90kg - these should be challenging, but keeping form on point and leaving room for growth in future weeks)
C1. FS; 2-5 reps @115 /120/ 125 /120 /115kg, rest 90-120 sec (push for an ~8.5 RPE each set)
C2. Ring WPU; 6-8 x5, rest 90-120 seconds (7.5kg. Chest touch rings at the top. Start in a semi-prone position and let the rings rotate naturally as you pull - note RPE and reps every set)
D. Power Lung (seated in a chair); 10 slow controlled breaths w/ a maximal depth inhale intop the diaphragm and exhale, Rest to recovery x3 sets

PM *Adding a little variability here - similar stimulus as last time, but different workout format. Don't compare your row #'s to last time. Different workout, not an apples to apples comparison. I don't really care as much about the absolute metric as the effort/ sensation
Rowing Tech Prep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-H4VljlREAo&list=PLVR7OsPPPm0oEaIo8l-AoMeF8ZUF7KBCr&index=7
+
20 cal C2 Bike @~85-90% effort

Rest 2min in quadruped position focusing on breathing mechancs
Rest to recovery
x2-3 repeats
*I want you hitting your respiratory threshold on each of these repeats, sitting there until you start to feel either local fatigue or HR/breathing are reaching the limit of control and then resting until you're ready to repeat the same effort again
+
10-20 Min easy aerobic cooldown followed by diaphragmatic breath work and movement/ mobility as needed
   A)112,5 felt good - just a great primer for snatching. B) 92,5x 4 Sets. Felt okay, not perfect C1) 5/5/5/4/4 - my front rack mobility got worse and worse after each set - think due to the pull-ups. C2) 6@9 in all Sets. Last set more a 10. C2: 2300-2500 Cal Pace per set on the C2 Bike. Legs are burning. Echo bike coming soon. Row: 1:17 @ 1:31 Pace (burning in quads came first, guess that’s a win!) 1:17 @ 1:31 (easier to go faster than slower) Fatigue in quads set in first again. Could have rowed longer for sure. In rest, glutes and bicep starts burning. Then a last set of 1:16 at 1:31

A) Training: *The work pieces today should be hard efforts, but don't end them on the floor. Goal is to maximize score across the 3 workouts. Id rather you start slow and build into them than get crushed. We still want to keep quality on point for everything as we build HSPU volume over the weeks

For Time:
12 DB Thruster (50/arm)

PM
A. Foam-roll / Lax ball upper back & lats - 5-10min
B. Quadruped Cat-Cow - 20 reps working to create as much thoracic flexion and extension as possible in each direction (inhale on flexion / exhale on extension)
C. Elbow Plank Thoracic Reach-throughs - 20 alt reps, rotation should come from thoracic NOT lumbar / hips (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyMFIl4RsSw)
D. Face-down PVC Pass-through - accumulate 10 slow, deliberate reps (try to move scaps as much as possible)
E. Banded Hollow Y and Banded Arch Y - accumulate 15-20 reps in each position (maintain hollow position here - https://www.instagram.com/p/BSB6zCnhNmW/?taken-by=cfgymnastics&hl=en)


   Everything UB except of HSPU. Around 3-5 Sets per round. Happy with short breaks. Burpees were horrible after hspu and TTB. Row was around 1500 Cals. Everything else done

Wednesday February 19, 2020
Title: Mittwoch
Status: completed


A) Training: A. Clean & Jerk; build to a 120-130kg single (no ego lifting. If the low end of the range is tough today cut it there), then hit 1.1.1 x2-3 @110kg, resting as needed b/w sets (note quality on back off sets)
B. Reverse Band Deadlift; 2-3 x3-4 sets, rest as needed (moderate load here to feel it out. Get tight, brace, and accelerate off the ground continuing to explode up as the bands contribute less and less and you're taking on more loading)
C1. Front Rack Hold; :40-:60 @moderate load x3 sets, rest as needd
C2. Ring Pushup; AMRAP(-2 to -3) x2-4 sets, rest as needed (pause for 1 sec in the bottom with tension, then press up creating maximal protraction at the top and turning the rings out every so slightly. Add a light vest here)
C3. Lying Leg Curl Machine @21x1; 10-4 x2-4, rest as needed (Slight inc over 65kg)
+
Every 2:00 until you hit an 8.5/10 on one of the movements:
1st - 18 cal AB - start @225 watts and add 50 watts each set
2nd - 250m Skierg - start @2:00/500m and speed up by 5 sec/500m each set
*For both movements rest in the remaining time
*Lets see this one more time to see how it trends before making any adjustments
+
Oxygenating AB - slow spin at 150-200 watts. Aim to go for atleast 5 minutes, but no longer than 20. This should feel very easy.
*If possible elevate the back of the AB by putting the back part in contact w/ the ground on 25# bumper plates. This will give it a slight decline like you're riding down hill. This will allow for a slightly higher cadence/ less resitance while pedaling at this wattage

   130kg - better than last time! Back of Sets were fine. Today I was not happy with my early arm bend.  B) 120kg + Black Bands. 3x4 Reps. Felt good! C1) 110kg C2) Vest is ordered now. Last time without.  C3) 67,5, also felt good!  + Finished Ski at 1:30 and the bike at 625 I think it was. Felt better this time.

Had to do 32X0 to get a proper stimulus at that weight.  35kg cause it was a thinner band. Felt good (10 to 8 Reps)   BMU: 11 Reps - Muscle Ups are my nemesis  60kg - felt good!  Burpees also crisp in around a min.  Row: 35s - better than last time.   30 C2B - Last 10 Reps suddenly killed me.  65 WB-S - breathed my way through that mid-set burn!  Burpees were rough afterwards.  Row as above.

+
A. Foam-roll / Release lower-body / hips - 5-10 min (add some banded ankle distraction work here as wel)
B. KB Tibialis Raise; 15-20 x2/leg, rest as needd (Do these w/ one leg at a time sitting on a bench and hugging your knee to the chest - https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs_aAIOhYo-/)
C. Standing Single Leg Calf Raise on slant board; 10-15 reps x2-3/side, rest as needed (aim to create as much extension at the top as possible, then control the eccentric while using the tibialis to pull you into a deeper ROM) - done (I am doing an Active Live Immersion Program right now - could we add some of that here?)

Monday

AM
A. Snatch Pull; 1.1 x2-3, rest ~2 minutes (mod-heavy. Think of these as a primer for Pt 'B') (110kg - great primer especially for balancing)
B. Snatch; 1.1.1.1 x3-4, rest 20s/ ~2 minutes (moderate across - these should be challenging, but keeping form on point and leaving room for growth in future weeks) 90kg - felt great! (4 Sets)
C. Front Squat; build to a moderate-smooth set of 5 (~8.5 RPE) 120kg - not happy with this but that’s what it is.
D. Ring WPU; build to a challenging set of 8 (chest touch rings at the top. Start in a semi-prone position and let the rings rotate naturally as you pull) 7,5kg - lol this was humbling!
D. Power Lung (seated in a chair); 10 slow controlled breaths w/ a maximal depth inhale intop the diaphragm and exhale, Rest to recovery x3 sets  great prep for PM Session!

PM
+
1k Row increasing in pace every 200m (200m segments at the follow RPES 7.5- 8- 8.5- 9- 9.5) 2:00-1:30
+
Row as long as possible at final pace from above untily you reach a 8/10 fatigue level, then rest to full recovery and repeat one to two more times. ie.- 2-3 work sets here 350m-1:06// 360m-1:05 // 380m-1:10 
+
10-20 Min easy aerobic cooldown followed by diaphragmatic breath work and movement/ mobility as needed

Tuesday

AM
*Both of these work pieces today should be hard efforts, but don't end them on the floor. Goal is to maximize score across both workouts. Id rather you start slow and build into them than get crushed. We still want to keep quality on point for everything

For Time:
30 Burpee to 6" touch
100 DU's
20 S.HSPU
25ft BB FRWL out and back (95#)
30 Toes to Bar
(Rest 6-10 Minutes)
+
For time: 
30 Toes to Bar
25ft BB FRWL out and back (95#)
20 S.HSPU
100 DU's
30 Burpee to 6" touch 

Did this with my GF and we didnt time it that strict. HSPU were 5/5/4/3/3 in both rounds, was quite a shoulder burner! TTB are feeling pretty strong ATM - local fatigue in forearms is decreasing for sure.
+
10-20 Min easy aerobic cooldown followed by diaphragmatic breath work and movement/ mobility as needed

PM
A. Foam-roll / Lax ball upper back & lats - 5-10min
B. Quadruped Cat-Cow - 20 reps working to create as much thoracic flexion and extension as possible in each direction (inhale on flexion / exhale on extension)
C. Elbow Plank Thoracic Reach-throughs - 20 alt reps, rotation should come from thoracic NOT lumbar / hips (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyMFIl4RsSw)
D. Face-down PVC Pass-through - accumulate 10 slow, deliberate reps (try to move scaps as much as possible)
E. Banded Hollow Y and Banded Arch Y - accumulate 15-20 reps in each position (maintain hollow position here - https://www.instagram.com/p/BSB6zCnhNmW/?taken-by=cfgymnastics&hl=en) That’s a great session!

Wednesday

A. Clean & Jerk; build to a moderate single for the day, then hit 1.1.1 x2-3 @80-85% of that resting as needed b/w sets 130kg - on those heavy lifts I lose position in my upper back and the weight pulls my forward. Biggest issue here for sure. Do you think it would be an issue to add some Front Rack Holds here? Got that recommendation from Active Life. Something like 2-3x :60 at 60% and slowly progress from here.
B. Reverse Band Deadlift; 2-3 x3-4 sets, rest as needed (moderate load here to feel it out. Get tight, brace, and accelerate off the ground continuing to explode up as the bands contribute less and less and you're taking on more loading)

 Was stuck in a traffic jam on my way to the gym so had to speed things up here a little. Have not found a good setup yet so used some chains which did not work out as I hoped. Will do better next time!
C1. Ring Pushup; AMRAP(-2 to -3) x2-4 sets, rest as needed (pause for 1 sec in the bottom with tension, then press up creating maximal protraction at the top and turning the rings out every so slightly. If you beat 14 reps on set 1, then add a light weight vest) Was around 14 or 15 in first round so did not use a vest this time. Felt good! Felt core first, pecs gave up obviously.
C2. Lying Leg Curl Machine @21x1; 10-4 x2-4, rest as needed 65kg - great one <3
+
Every 2:00 until you hit an 8.5/10 on one of the movements:
1st - 18 cal AB - start @225 watts and add 50 watts each set
2nd - 250m Skierg - start @2:00/500m and speed up by 5 sec/500m each set // finished the 1:35 Ski Erg and hit a RPE 8.5 at that point - great workout 
*For both movements rest in the remaining time 
+
Oxygenating AB - slow spin at 150-200 watts. Aim to go for atleast 5 minutes, but no longer than 20. This should feel very easy. 
*If possible elevate the back of the AB by putting the back part in contact w/ the ground on 25# bumper plates. This will give it a slight decline like you're riding down hill. This will allow for a slightly higher cadence/ less resitance while pedaling at this wattage - thats pretty cool! 

A. PC. Clean. HC; 1.1.1 every 2:00 for 10:00 (mod-smooth) 110kg - felt good! (Narrowed my grip a little - helps) - still HC is by far the hardest movement for me so putting it at the end does not make things easier lol.
B. Back Squat; 6 reps every 3:00 for 12:00-18:00 (moderate challenge - note RPE of last 2 reps in each set) 140kg - RPE 8-9 When using a belt on my squats, it’s way easier to hit my obliques and therefore use my legs and glutes instead of lower back - was sore AF the next days.
C. SA DB Row + Horizontal Band Tension; 6-8 x2-3/arm, rest 60-90s b/w sides (Moderate load + thin red band. Lets add a .5-1 sec squeeze at the top here) 30kg DB + my black band - great feeling here! Did 8 Reps each time (3 Sets, no decline in performance)
+
Stimulative Sport Work:
1 "tough" set of each of the following:
BMU - extend the set as far as you can while keeping quality high
Rest 90-120 sec (had to train at home that day and BMU didnt really work out at my rig :( also, these felt pretty „Off“ that day. So did an extra Set of 10 RMU.
15-20 UB OHS (load so it's challenging, but you can move continually w/o having to rest at the top) 50kg- felt a little too easy - was surprised by that! Burning in legs came late!
Rest 90-120 sec
20 BFB at a fast clip, but you can still keep composure/ reps clean
Rest 90-120 sec These still felt a little hard
25 cal AB @~90% effort No AAB (home), so rowed 25 Cals in around 35s
+
Stimulative Sport Work:
1 "tough" set of each of the following:
TTB - extend the set as far as you can while keeping quality high 
Rest 90-120 sec 30 Reps, could have pushed to 35 maybe.
WB - extend the set as far as you can while keeping quality high
Rest 90-120 sec 60 - happy with that!!! Burning came later!
20 BFB at a fast clip, but you can still keep composure/ reps clean

Friday

Option 1:
TTT Throwdown Workout (finished the round of 195 - this WOD blew up my feet - not that pleasant)
+
10-20 Minute Easy AB, then...
A. Squshy Ball Diaphragm & Psoas Release - 2-3min each side
B. LAX Ball T-spine Crunches - 2 passes over entire spine (flexion (exhlae) -> extension (inhale))
C. Shin-box Rotation + breathing - 10 breaths each side (try to open deeper into rotation w/ each breath)
D. Power lung; 1-2 min x3 sets, rest to full recovery b/w sets 
*Focus on a max inhale and exhale w/ a 'low to moderate' resistance setting. Not concerned about breath rate for today, but I want you to keep depth of inhale/ exhale equal. Make sure you lift your elbows up during the inhale; and lower them during the exhale. 
*Go in this position, but w/ arms in front rack position holding the device w/ both hands (https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_dWsN49fSVY/maxresdefault.jpg)

Option 2: Self directed fun session composed of something along the lines of....
-Technical olympic lifting <85% 1RM
-Compound lifts focusing on execution/ movement quality over load 
-Isolation work/ correctives
-Movement training or "flow" work 
-Easy cyclical or mixed aerobic work with a quality focus
-EMOM's with a quality focus

Monday:

AM
A. PC. HPC; build ot a heavy complex for the day  110kg - Hang is weak/ was not that strong today - bad night of sleep 
B. Clean from blocks (~4" off floor); 1.1 x2-4; rest as needed (100-110% of what you hit on the complex - end the set if power visibly drops off) 110, 110, 120, 125 - felt good/better than A
C. Back Squat; build to a moderatley challenging triple, then drop down to 85% of that and hit AMRAP(-2) w/ smooth reps x2 sets, rest as needed b/w all sets  160 / 135: 10 Reps + 8 Reps
+
Every 2:00 for 20:00

24ft BB FRWL out (95#)
12 BFB
24ft BB FRWL back (95#)

Tuesday

EST Prep:
2. Positional Breathing on Row; 10 deep diaphragmatic breaths sitting on the rower upright w/ your hands on the handles x2 sets
3. Breath light exercise:
-place one hand on your chest and the other just above your navel to help you follow your breathing 
-breath in and gently guide your abdomen outward
-breath out and gently guide your abdomen inward
-observe your breathing pattern for a few breath cycles guiding the size and depth of each breath 
-apply gentle pressure with your hands to slightly reduce your breathing movements. it should feel as if you are breathing against your hand 
-allow a relaxed breath out exhaling gently and easily bringing a feeling of relaxation to your breathing 
-try to sustain this for 2-3 minutes - if your breath rhythm becomes chaotic you've created to large an air shortage and should discontinue 
+
2:00 Row @~50% effort/ low effort (nasal breathing only)
2:00 Row @~60-70% effort/ low to moderate effort (in through the nose, out through mouth)
2:00 Row @~70-80% effort/ moderate effort (free breathing) 2:15/2:00/1:41

x2-3 series (i.e. 10-15 total work sets) x 3 rounds 
Note:
-Hit the 200m Row, then rest in the remaining time for the 90 seconds. 
-Please give me a rough estimate of what pace you were pulling at each segment as well as your total time/ rpe for each set)

Would feel able to do some sports specific work here. For example an RMU session. My L-Sit also needs a lot more love. But if you say it's enough, it shall be enough :-)

Wednesday

A. PS; build to a moderate single for the day, then hit 1.1.1 x2-3 @80-85% of that resting as needed b/w sets 100kg + 3x3@85kg (happy with that!)
B. Modified Snatch Deadlift (grip between conventional and snatch position); feel it out for 2-4 sets of 4-6 reps at a moderate load and let me know how this feels in terms of activation through the lats/ posterior chain 130x6, 140x6 150x6 (thought this will be my last set but was actually pretty easy. Need to push harder here. 160x5// great activation in both! 
C. CGBP @21x1; 5,3,1,5,3,1; rest 2-3m (build from 5-->3--->1. Second wave heavier than the first. Use a spotter and don't approach a 1RM on the 1's) 80, 100, 110 // 90, 110, 130 
+

8 Wall Ball (20#)
6 TTB
12 cal Row
6 BBJO (24")

Rest 3 Minutes
x5 sets
*Pick up each set where the previous left off. This should NOT be a hard effort. Goal here is to focus on movement quality, breathing, and transitions. Move from one station to the next at a steady pace. This should feel like a 275-300 watt assault bike where you're just cruisning along steadily. " - felt good! did around 6 rounds. 300w AAB and around 1200 Cal Row
