I had ankle surgery in May, last year. So that forced me to work on upper body stuff A TON more. I did any kind of pressing I could do: pushups, HSPU, strict press with dumbbells or a bar, bench press. I’d like to strict press my body weight. I weigh 175, and I press 155 as a 1RM. So that’s the goal!

A. 55, 65, 70, 75, 80 x 2, 80 x 2.

I suck at pressing.

B. Modified this to match my abilities.

12 min AMRAP

2 BMU
2 CTB
8 TTB
8 push press w/ 35# DB.
I chise a number I could go unbrocken with that weight.

5 + 2 TTB.

BMU getting a little less ugly.

It’s a kind of community garage gym that doesn’t have membership, so we pooled money and bought some new equipment. Dumbbells, the nice ones, in 35 and 50#, a set of 53# kb, a set of 70# kb, 2 plyo boxes with the three heights in one box, two sets of rings and two oly bars. It’s really nice to get new stuff!

LOL, we do have a fun space and a great group, including a few seniors . We desperately need more pull up bars and a safety rack and FLOORING! And there are a few items on the wish list like a yoke, but overall it’s a great place. We slowly chip away at the things that we need. 🙂

So, on the WOD from over 2 weeks ago, the 40 DU one, I strained my calf, so bad that I ended up in the ER because I did not realize the severity of it. I have basically been off of it for 10 days, and back doing upper body and mobility work. Gave today a try though since lower body was not in use.

A. 135/140/145/155/160/165 all for 3
B. Got 5 rounds plus 20 reps, hands got smoked on the MU’s but glad I was able to Rx everything today.

Wes, seriously, I want some input on your setup. There are a few things I may like to copy…that weight storage/locker system? Absolutely brilliant! and what company made that fold down rack? I was only aware of the one by PRx which is way too expensive, but yours seems very similar. Lastly, what’s the distance from top of bar to ceiling (overhead clearance)? I’m 5’7″ so if we are similar heights, based on your overhead clearance I might be able to get away with bar muscle ups in my garage without cutting out a hole in the ceiling.

Shoot me a text or call and I’d be more than happy to help. I built this folding rack to fit in my space perfectly. Welded it up with a buddy. Used the same idea as PRx, but wanted something way more solid, less expensive and fits in my garage. I’m working on a folding GHD system right now, have all the pieces cut, just need to weld it together. The concept is I want everything flush against the wall so I can still park inside.
