3) 8-12 Sandbag Squats
+
BB Yoga (Front Rack + Cossacks)


A) Training: AM
A. Clean; build to a 125-135kg single (no ego lifting. If the low end of the range is tough today cut it there), then hit 1.1.1 x2-3 @110-115kg, resting as needed b/w sets (note quality on back off sets)
B. Back Squat; build to a 155-167.5kg triple (Not too concerned about top end #'s - cut it if you start to grind) then drop down to 130kg and hit AMRAP(-2) w/ smooth reps x2 sets, rest as needed b/w all sets
C. WPU; 3-5 reps (bar touches below collar bones) @16-18kg, rest to recovery x2-3 sets

10 cal Row
15 cal C2 Bike
10 cal Skierg

*Fcus on breathing, efficiency, 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. If you have any sensation of getting 'pumped' or 'burning' in the muscles rest for 30-60 seconds, then continue at a lower output

   Clean: 135 - felt strong!

6 RMU
12 Wall Ball (20#)
6 UB TTB x3
12 cal Row
(Rest 4-6 Minutes)
x3 sets
*pick up the second set where the first left off

   RMU in "first round" always ub, second round not so much. Otherwise felt good, but I am just too heavy! Not happy with how I am able to manage my BW. I think it's beeing stressed to a degree, just beeing hungry all the time and also might this "delivery limiation" contribute to being more hungry since the body is not able to metabolize fats as efficiently?

C3: Upright Row 5x30kg/Arm - good that its the same as press but should also be the same as bodyweight pull-ups which is not the case.

A) Training: AM
A. Snatch; quickly build to moderate-heavy single for the day; rest as needed (I don't care about load - keep these on point qualitativley and shut it down if movement falters. We'll don't push load to improve, we push it because improvements have been made. These will trend upward over time if we can get movement consistent)
B. Squat Snatch; 10 singles @80% of "A" for QUALITY; rest as needed (note total time)

+
10-20 Min easy aerobic cooldown followed by diaphragmatic breath work and movement/ mobility as needed

   Snatch 105kg - butt rises a little on lift off. Not happy with that. Still, felt not too heavy! 

10 Reps in 3:00 - didn’t drop the bar tho and definitely could have pushed faster. 

FS: 6-4-3-4-6
Didn’t couple with pull ups today. Way better for front rack. 

Also did tuck Hang cause my bicep was so sore. 

5x150m row at 1:23-25

Then the avg. was around 1:36-1:38 - the hardest parts were the glutes sitting on that rower during the break! x 4 Sets

5 Min BB Yoga (FR Opener!)


A) Training: A. PC & Jerk; 8:00 clock - accumulate as many high quality (B or better on an A-F scale) singles as possible at 100kg
B. Deadlift; 1.1.1 x3 sets, rest ~20 sec/ 2-3 Min (reset b/w reps and make sure each one is of high quality. Challenging effort here, but these shouldn't fry you)
+
250m Skierg @~2:00/500m
Rest ~20 seconds (in transition)
14 cal AB @225 watts
Rest 90 seconds
x repeat until you hit an ~8.5 RPE set of AB. Ab gets 25 watts faster each set but Ski speed stays the same
+
2-3 Sets for Quality:
40m Dual KB Front Rack Carry (20-24kg/arm)
10-15 UB Ring Pushup (pause for 1 sec in bottom w/ tension, then create maximal protraction at top while turning rings out slightly. 12.5kg DB)
10-14 Lying Leg Curl @21x1 (70kg across)
*Rest as needed b/w movements to ensure quality is high
+
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

   A: Did this with a friend and we shared a BB - this took longer than expected to be honest. Did 55 C&J with dropping mats and could have easily gotten more reps.
B: Don't have that many weights at home so 170kg + a black band for extra resistance. Felt good.

Stopped at 1:30 on the C2 Bike - tired legs.

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)

   Qualifier felt great. TTB are improving big time. Still wondering how I can snatch almost every weight in workouts, but not that stable in lifting. Need more real warm-up I guess.

-apply gentle pressure with your hands to slightly reduce your breathing movements. it should feel as if you are breathing against your hand

*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.

   A) PS: up to 102,5 - yeah!
B) + Snatch DL at 160kg - RPE around 7-8 but tried to maintain the right recruitment of lats and post. chain - also we got an awesome belt squat machine here! <3

3x
10 SA Upright Rows/Arm
10 Thoracic Rotations
5 Straight Leg Box Jumps
+
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 (92.5 to 94kg aiming to take as many sets at the top end of the range - these should be challenging, but keeping form on point and leaving room for growth in future weeks)
C1. FS @117.5 /122.5/ 127.5 /122.5 /117.5kg, rest 90-120 sec (push for an ~8.5 RPE each set)
C2. Ring WPU; 6-8 x5, rest 90-120 seconds (9kg. 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
+
Every 120 seconds x repeat upto 5 sets
125-150m Row at 'controlled sprint'
*Dont tap your highest gear here. Keeps these reasonably controlled and don't let mechanics drift too far away from your pulling mechanics at 2k speed.
+
Row - as long as "comfortable" @1:29/500m (can flux b/w 1:28-1:30 but try to keep it pretty tight here)
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 - done - felt good
B) 92,5kg x3 Sets - also not that fresh today
C1) 8/6/5/4/X - these got worse and worse due to front rack issues and dizzyness - combining those with the pull Ups is not good idea for me
C2) 6 Reps @10kg RPE9
D) Forgot that today - regretted during row later
+
Row Sprints @ 1:20 Pace x5
+
1:15-1:10-1:10 at 1:29 Pace - around 400m or a little above. Breathing was the issue today. (should have done the powerlung)

+
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)

   Had to do a qualifier (spontaneous) today.
20 Min AMRAP of 15 Cal Row, 10 Burpee over Erg, 5 Deads at 245. Breathing felt shallow on burpees today. Did some TTB and HSPU in PM. Next qualifiers will be done instead of the throwdown so we can train accordingly.

Title: Mittwoch

Warmup: Warm-Up:
5-10 Min AAB
+
3 RNFT:
10 Breaths in PVC Lat-Stretch
:30 Banded Ankle Distraction
8 Lateral Box Step Ups/Side
+
5 Min BB Yoga


A) Training: A. Clean & Jerk; build to a 122.5-132.5kg single (no ego lifting. If the low end of the range is tough today cut it there), then hit 1.1.1 x2-3 @112.5kg, resting as needed b/w sets (note quality on back off sets)
B. Reverse Band Deadlift; 2-3 x3-4 sets, rest as needed (>120kg + same bands as last time. 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 @110-115kg 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 the vest if it's available today)
C3. Lying Leg Curl Machine @21x1; 10-4 x2-4, rest as needed (Slight inc over 67.5kg)
+
16 cal AB @~250-275 watts
Rest ~20 seconds (in transition)
250m Skierg @2:00/500m
Rest 90 seconds
x repeat until you hit an ~8.5 RPE set of skierg. Ski gets 5 sec/500m faster each set but AB speed stays the same
+
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

   A) Up to 132,5kg - Jerk pretty quickly because I am so uncomfortable in the FR Position
B) Skipped today due to yesterdays DL
C1) 45s at 115kg - one set with 120kg - hope this will help me in the long run!
C2) 12-11-10 with 12,5kg DB on my back - had a partner
C3) 14-13-13 Reps at 67,5kg
+
Finished the round of 1:25 on the Ski - this was more a strength than a breahting issue.
+
that oxigenating bike does not feel easier than tbh. feel it more in my triceps
