A) Ankle Routine : 1x :30-:60 Posterior Banded Ankle Distraction/Side into 15 Single Leg Calf Raises on Slant Board/Side

I want to commit doing this every single day to improve my ankle mobility.
B) Clean Warm-Up: 2x Posterior Shoulder Stretch x 30s


1x 20 empty bar RDL
1x 20 Front Rack Opener
1x 20 alt. Cossack Squats

x5 Halting Clean Grip Deadlift
x5 Muscle Clean
x5 Power Clean
x5 Tall Clean
+
1x @ 40kg
x5 Halting Clean Grip Deadlift
x5 Muscle Clean
x5 Power Clean
x5 Tall Clean

C) Training: A. Clean; build to a 127.5-140kg single (no ego lifting. If the low end of the range is tough today cut it there), then hit 1.1.1 x2-3 @115-120kg, resting as needed b/w sets (note quality on back off sets)
B. Back Squat; build to a 155-177.5kg triple (Not too concerned about top end #'s - cut it if you start to grind) then drop down to 137.5kg 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) @20kg, rest to recovery x2-3 sets (goal is >9/14 reps across 2 or 3 sets respectivley)
+
10:00-15:00 ATW:
10 cal Row
10 Alt Step Ups (24")
10 cal Skierg
15 cal C2 Bike
*Focus 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

   140kg - felt solid! No belt

Back Squat 177,5 - felt solid as well! AMRAPs at 137,5 15 and 13 Reps+ ATW

B. Ring Dip Isos; 1 strict rep, then on the second rep lower down and pause in the bottom w/ tension for ~15-20 sec, then press up and pause at the top w/ depression and slight external rotation for ~15-20 sec; rest to recovery x2-4sets of that (can add light load here)

Title: Recovery WOD - optional
Status: missed

Warmup: Absolviere dieses Workout an einem Rest-Day, anstelle eines anderen Traning-Pieces, wenn du dich nicht gut oder fit fühlst oder einfach zusätzlich nach Lust und Laune. Dabei gilt: Es sollte NICHT hart sein. Wir belasten hier Muskeln und "Richtungen" bzw. Bewegungen, die sonst ggf. zu wenig Aufmerksamkeit erhalten. Move "for quality", not for time ist das Credo!


A1) Recovery WOD: EMOM15:
1) 20 Groiners
2) 18 Bird Dogs
3) 10 Push-Up T

Hollow Hold the Remainder of Time. Skaliere diesen bitten angemessen!

Title: AM
Status: completed

Warmup: 4 Rounds Continuous – Not for Time:
Assault Bike 60sec Easy (jede Runde etwas schneller als die vorherige)
10m Goblet Lateral Band Walks/side (Band um die Knie)
(alle 5m absolviere 3 Goblet Squats – 12 total Squats wenn beide Richtungen absolviert sind)
6-8 Single Arm Dumbbell Cuban Press/arm



A) Training: A. Snatch; quickly build to 97.5-110kg single; rest as needed (no ego lifting - if the low end of this is tough, then shut it down there - We 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. Hang Snatch; 6-10 singles @87.5-92.5kg for quality; rest as needed (don't rush these)
*Add 2 sets of light DB Pullover super setted w/ the posterior shoulder stretch prior to the FS - lets see how that feels today and then report back
C. FS; 2-6 reps @125 /130/ 135 /130 /125kg, rest ~3:00 (push for an ~8.5 RPE each set)
D. Ring WPU (at end of pull your fists should be in line with your upper chest. Pause for 1 sec there); 5-6 x4-5, rest as needed (12.5-15kgkg - aim to take alteast 1 set at >12.6kg)
+
Power Lung:
3-5 breaths seated upright at the edge of a chair (tall spine)
3-5 breaths in a half kneeling stance (right foot planted)
3-5 breaths in a half kneeling stance (left foot planted)
x2 sets
*Rest as needed b/w movements and sets -- keep quality high so this isn't fatiguing
*All breaths are slow/ controlled w/ a maximal depth inhale into the diaphragm followed by a full exhale

   Snatch: 105kg - sat under 110 twice and that felt super easy - I just catch it a little too far forward
B) this is just not my exercise. But helps to drill technique. 10 Reps at 90kg
DB PullOvers help a TON! Makes me finally feel stable on a FS since not all the weight sits on my collarbones.
C) 5/4/4/4/4 - felt strong! (third rep always felt heavy but was still pretty - didnt want to push it too hard - I think those heavvy Squats cause my low back pain together with the emotional stress I had due to a pretty bad message the night before.
D) 5x5 Reps at 15kg - High RPE

Title: Sunday
Status: completed


A) Training: AM
A. PC. HPC. Jerk; 1 Complex of 1+1+2 @110-112.5kg performed every 1:30-3:00 x4-6 sets (all complexes should be a B or higher on an A-F quality scale. Note load/ RPE for each set, as well as how much total time tjis takes. Follow up from last time - for some longer limbed lifters a little arm bend is needed. While it may not be considered 'optimal technique' that body type needs to make modifications to be able to hit some of the key positions in the lift, which requires some compromose)
B. Deadlift; AMRAP(-3) @117.5-180kg x3 sets, rest ~3 Min (Challenging effort here, but these shouldn't fry you)
C. BB Front Rack Hold; 30-45 seconds @127.5kg, rest as needed x2-3 sets
D. Myo Rep Nuetral Grip Pushup on DB @2020 tempo w/ full protraction at top + light band (Perform a max UB continous set which should end 2-3 reps shy of failure -judged by when speed of rep slowly noticibly. Once that is acheived stop and rest for 20 seconds, then hit 4-5 reps, rest 20s and hit another 4-5 reps until you've completed 3-5 additional sets of 4-5 reps. If at any point you cannot complete 4-5 reps on the "Myo-Sets" then cut it there)
E. Nordic Hamsrn Curl @21x1; AMRAP(-2 to -3) x2-3 sets, rest as needed

PM
8-10 Sets:
250m Row @~70% effort [cruise pace]
5 UB S.HSPU
12 cal Bike @~70% effort [cruise pace]
8 Burpee to 6" touch
Rest 90 Seconds b/w sets
*Next time we'll do some IGT work here instead if recovery is good going into this session

   This was the day my back did not feel good.

Still did the Cleans which felt okay but had to skip DL because I was afraid. Two weeks before these felt stellar.

BB Hold done. 

Push-Ups First set two bands was a little too much, rest with one band. I think it was 5 Sets.

Hamstring Curls x3 Sets.

+ 8 Sets conditioning, was a little afraid here because of my back.

Title: Back Pain Session
Status: completed


A) Training: 12RFT:
4 Strict Dips
12 Rev. Lunges
with Weight Vest
+ the core accessories. Strict RMU were not possible.

Felt okay.

Original Session was:
Option 1:
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)

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

   Still no bench (DHL takes years right now)
--> Did Floor Press with sandbag for around 8-10 Reps - nasty.
B. WPU 22,5kg: 5/4/4 Reps - a bit too much pain here.
4 Sets:
15/12/11/12 Reps - I can do 15 per round if I hang there between reps - buts thats not what you would like me to do, right?
C2 Bike at 1:37-1:40 - felt strong
15 Push-Ups Fast
Lunges still burned quite bad in my legs after that bike.

Great training! Thank you!
