Warmup: Add these to your warmup for Sn
3 Sets:
10-12 Banded Posterior Pelvic Tilts (like a quadruped Pos with a band around hands an hip)
8-10 Quad. Thoracic Rotation/Side
6-8 Heels Elevated Sn. Sotts Press


A) AM: A. Snatch; quickly build to 95-102.5kg single; rest as needed
B. Hang Snatch; 6-10 singles @90-92.5kg for quality; rest as needed (don't rush these - just drilled technique and making sure quality stays tight)
*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. Front Squat; 3 reps x6 sets, rest 90-120 sec (Start at 100-105kg and build in load so you're at your top weight ~8-8.5 RPE on set 3 or 4 with the goal of beating 130kg, then on the final sets drop the load by 10-15% on each subsequent set so you're pyramiding down in load. This will be the only 'heavy' squat exposure in this two week rotation w/ the new changes we just made. My hope is that this allows us to maintain strength while you improve positions/ activation, then we can come back to higher intensity down the line)
D1. Ring WPU (at end of pull your fists should be in line with your upper chest. Pause for 1 sec there); 5-6 reps x3-4 sets, rest as needed (15kg - note reps/ RPE each set)
D2. Ring Dip Isos; 2 strict reps, 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 as needed x3-4sets of that (Note RPE on the 3rd rep w/ Isos for each set)

   A. Snatch 100kg - was happy how these felt today. Need to stay over the bar longer. Any tips for that? 
B. 10 Reps @ 90kg - Like one rep felt great and the rest.. meh. I lack extension and do not bring myself in the correct position.
C. 135kg + 2x3 @ 120kg - happy with that! 
D1. 3x5 @ RPE 9,5
D2. 3 Sets RPE @ 8

B) PM: PM
EST Prep:
1. Diaphragm Smash - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8sSUsJ-bTY
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: same as previous weeks
+
*Put Row on slight incline here w/ front ends on 25# bumper plate
300m Row @1:35/500m
1:00 seated upright on rower focusing on breathing mechancs (feet on the groud, not in the straps)
x 4-6 sets
(Rest 3:00)
x2 Series
*Note time/ avg pace/ RPE for each set. Lets see if RPE's climb down a bit from breaking it in series before we increase the 'load' here
+
10-20 Min easy aerobic cooldown followed by diaphragmatic breath work and movement/ mobility as needed
   2x 6 ‚Reps‘ @ 1:35 pace. This definitely felt better.

*Note total Rds accumulated here.
+
10-20 Min easy aerobic cooldown followed by......

A. Foam-roll / Lax ball upper back & lats - 5-10min
B. Smash your quads - this was a suggestion from your email, so I wanted to make sure we had this in here so you don't forget !
C1. Quadruped Scap CARs; 3-5 Controlled reps in ea/direction, rest as needed
C2. Quadruped Thoracic Rot; 3 rot in ea/direction, rest as needed x2 sets
C3. Bretzel + breathing - 10 breaths each side (try to open deeper into rotation w/ each breath), rest as needed x2
D. Hips; pick your favorite hip opener and get some touches here. Some recomendations would be a seated 90/90 stretch, quadruped fire hydrants or hip windmills
E. Feet/ Ankles/ Calves; perform a few sets/ reps of a calf raise variation, an intrinsic foot strengthening movement, and then spend a few minutes trying to contract different parks of your feet/ toes (creating novel sensory input to the feet)
   Ran on the same track as two weeks ago. Same number of rounds but around 1:00-1:01 for that distance (g
So average it was the same number of rounds just a little faster (around 2-4s faster). I feel these running sessions cause me knee pain. I would love to run more but maybe we gotta build up that volume. 

6 weeks ago I did that session in regular shoes and I guess that was the mistake.

Status: completed


A) AM: *Can add 2-3 sets of light-mod sandbag carries before these cleans. How did these impact output ? Did you feel glutes and lats more ?

A1. AB; :90 @225-250 watts, rest 30 seconds
A2. Cleans (any style); 1.1.1.1.1 @110-112.5kg (don't sacrafice quality for a faster time here. This should feel more like a cluster set than lifting under metcon fatigue), rest ~3:00 x2-3 sets
+
5 Sets:
50 DU's
18 cal C2 Bike
11 S.HSPU
10m FRWL out and back (95#)
500m Row @1:56-1:58/500m

A2. Felt strong today. 112,5 and all Sets in :49-:52 seconds. 
+ SB carries prior. 

Conditioning: 
Tbh only did 4 sets here. Felt my knee on the rower and was tired. 

Fastest 5:00 slowest 5:25
On reverse order I am not able to do the sHSPU unbroken 

B) PM: A. Dual KB Front Rack Walk; 40m UB w/ mod smooth load x2-3 sets, rest as needed (Use 2 KB's this week. If it's too easy you can use a sandbag, but note the weight this time)
B. Myo Rep Nuetral Grip Pushup on DB @2020 tempo w/ full protraction at top + same band as last time (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. Goal is >15 reps on top set)
C. Natural Knee Extension; 4-6 full ROM reps (use band assistance) x2-3 sets, rest as needed (This week pull you self up w/ your hips staying in extension - video 1-2 sets)
D. Nordic HamsrtrongCurl @21x1; 6-8 x2-3 sets, rest as needed (Use band assistance for these - moderate challenge)

A. 150lbs Sandbag. Felt good. 
B. My bench finally arrived <3 did max Reps (-2) at 90kg CGBP and then additional 21 Reps through Myo reps. 
C. Skipped knee extension this time
D. Think Glute Ham raises just fit better for me.

A) AM: A. Power Clean; 1.1 x4-6 sets, rest 2-3 minutes b/w sets (Start moderate and build to a challenging double aiming to beat 120kg. Not a max set - if speed/ power drop off cut it. Note all loads working up)
B. Back Squat; 3 reps every 2:00 for 10:00 (75% effort across. Control it down, reverse the load under control, and explode up. Warmups w/ 2-3 sets of 6-10 hip thrusts here and see if this helps squats feel better than average today)

A) AM: A. PS; 1:00 to accumulate very high quality singles @92.5kg (do not sacrafice quality for # of reps. This should feel more like a cluster set than lifting under metcon fatigue), rest ~3:00 x3 sets
B. BB Front Rack Step Up; 6-8 reps/ side alternating ea/ rep x2-4 sets, rest as needed (45kg. 24" box)
C. Banded Pushup on DB's (neutral grip); AMRAP(-2) w/ moderate band tension x3-4 sets, rest as needed (loop a band over each hand then over your back so the accommodating resistance makes it more difficult as you press up. Make sure to get full protraction at the top)
D. DB Pull Over @controlled tempo; 8-10 light-mod reps x2-3 sets, rest as needed (full inhale and exhale when you reach your end range of motion. note load)
+
Every 90 seconds
:45 C2 Bike @2:00/1k
*Rest in the remaining time
*Every set the pace drops by 4 seconds/500m until you hit a 8.5/10 RPE. Slight adjustmen in pace structure today. Lets see how this falls. If possible note finishing HR on each interval
   A) 4/4/4 Last Rep in third set was a squat. 
B) 2 Sets of 12 @ 45kg BB + 1x14 @ 40kg KB When focusing on not leaning forward this is just awesome 
C) took the chance to do strict dips yesterday 
D) 2 Sets @ 15kg w/ Full inhale exhale + 1 set @ 22,5kg

Highest Set 1:32 HR @ 145
Increased about 4-6 beats per round.
B) PM: For Time: *1:00 on/ 1:00 off 
For Time: 1k Skierg 20 Bar Facing Burpee 20 Power Snatch (75#) 1k C2 Bike 20 Bar Facing Burpee 20 OHS (75#) 


Notes: -The goal for this broken-chipper style workout as to move through this at a steady pace accumulating quality volume w/ good breathing mechanics. The broken style should allow you to work on some larger sets without blowing up, but do not hesitate to break reps during the 'on' periods to ensure quality stays on point. The cumulative effort here should feel like a threshold type workout where you're sustaining a steady burn/ moderate respiration, but it's not the same degree of burning/ breathing as you'd feel on something like a 2k row example

   Felt good! Ski and bike around 1:40, BB movements unbroken. Forgot to check my rounds - sorry!

Warmup: Add these to your warmup for cleans:
:30 Banded Posterior Hip Distraction/Side
5 Heels Elevated Squat Press outs (clearing out the hip)
10-12Kneeling Hip Extensions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jkZCgXr_Js
x3 Sets


A) AM: A. PC. HPC. Jerk; 1 Complex of 1+1+2 @97.5-102.5kg 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. Clean Grip RDL @21x1; 8-10 x2-4, rest as needed (Once your hips stop moving backward you've reached your functional ROM. If that occurs then stop there, then reverse the load under control. 112.5kg)
+
6 -8 Sets- For Time:
200m Run @~75% effort - smooth pace w/ rhytmic breathing
4 Burpee Bar Muscle Up
12 Wall Ball (20#)
Rest 2 Minutes b/w Sets
*Aim to improve BMU quality today and get into a rhytm with these. Goal is to keep time differential b/w fastest and slowet set as small as possible
+
10-20 Min easy spin @2 damper on C2 Bike followed by diaphragmatic breath work and movement/ mobility as needed
   A) Hope it read that right - only 100kg for the complex which felt good. Still there are some inefficient reps on the HPC. 
B) 3 Sets of 8 @ 115kg
+
6 Sets, did 500m C2 Bike. RMU and BMU are Hard for me cause I’m not breathing deep here. Still, there were some really easy and some really bad reps so there must be a technical error in here as well. With the 500m Bike each set was around 2:15 or so. 

Since there have been days where RMU and BMU have felt stellar and lots of days where they have not, I'd say it has to do with proper activation. I have a hard time to keep a hollow body and active shoulders in both movements.
