PERFORMANCE

Warm-Up.

“Mind Muscle” Overhead Movement Prep

Followed by…

Kettlebell Swings x 15 (nasal breathing only)
Wall Slides x 5 @ 3131
Kettlebell Swings x 15 (nasal breathing only)
Static Hang x 60 seconds (accumulate time if needed)
Kettlebell Swings x 15 (nasal breathing only)
Pec Activation x 60-90 seconds
Kettlebell Swings x 15 (nasal breathing only)

Then…

A.
Five sets of:
Push Press x 6 reps @ 11X2
Rest 2 minutes

Note the tempo – you must pause for one-second in the front-rack position between every lift, then pause two full seconds with the load overhead before re-racking the weight. Use the first two sets to build to a relatively challenging load, and perform the final three sets at that load.

B.
For time:
800 Meter Run
100 Push-Ups
800 Meter Run

Yesterday’s workout
Back squats: 215×5, 255×3, 285×1
265×3, 255×6, 225×9

Yesterday’s metcon rx
4+3

Mondays metcon done with 3-88 lb kb snatches
(Rower and double kb snatches all done in my basement)

This was a tough good grind to wrap up the day. The basement was a nice break from my hot, humid garage.

A. Push-press: 5x @ 135, 155, 175, 155, 135
(superset with…)
Bench-press: 8x @ 185, 190, 195, 185, 190

B. RX @ 10:40 (2:59, 1st 800, 3:45, 2nd 800)

I needed some more volume + chest, so I added bench into today’s workout. Went a bit too heavy to fast- had to back off a bit final 2 sets.
I’m still getting used to push press form. I find myself still trying to strict/military press the weight.

The first 3-4 reps were decent PP form… it’s when I got later in the set that my form declined and they started becoming sloppy strict press.

A. Worked to 85 lb for the third, fourth and fifth rounds
B. Splits were approx. 4’30” / 14’25” / 18’30”
Did all the push-ups in sets of 10. Alternated in a total of four of the rounds off a 20” box bc I was sure I would get gassed with all strict, but the other six rounds were strict.

Looking at it now, I guess I did a 10 round EMOM for the 100 push-ups. Push-ups are my nemesis.
