B) 9:13 which wayyy of my best but just wasn’t feeling the row

Wasn’t sure what to use for 3RM value so took a guess with 380lbs baseline
Deadlift: 195, 285, 325, 355, 385×1 (failed 3RM), 385×3

Jackie: rowing in went well, didn’t go all out knowing I had substantial volume afterwards. Had to do pull up in singles because I suck at anything revolving around gymnastics (for now)
Split time:
Row1000m : 3:21
Thrusters: 2:57
Pull-ups: 2:18
Total time: 8:36 (first time attempting Jackie)

Part B only…
As Rx. 8:07. 12sec off my pr time of 7:55 from back in May.
Props to all the sub 7 times. That’s crazy fast.

A) Kept DL weights modest @ 175. Still not clear for pulling heavy weight with my shoulder.

B) 8:10, but subbed pull-ups for ghd sit-ups (still not clear for butterfly). My previous RX Jackie two months before surgery was 8:01. I have a lot of catching up to do…haha. 🙂

A. 185/275/305/335/360/375 PR by 15# will try 385 or 390 next time 3-RM cycles back

B. Off rower at 3:47
Thrusters 25/10/15
Pull-ups 8/8/8/6 ……9:41………
Prior Jackie’s
April 19, 2016 – 9:39
Sept. 8, 2016 – 11:43
January 4, 2017 – 10:55

I was shooting for sub 10:30 when I saw 11:43 and 10:56, so sub 10:00 was great, but now I wish it was sub 9:40. Still a great day!!!!

A. Haven’t done it yet. I am going to get with my coach to work on my DL form. There is something off still and I don’t want to go heavy till I figure it out. B. 8:40 PR I was feeling all demoralized about it because I fell apart on the pull ups then looked back and found I beat my old score by 11 seconds. Off the rower in 3:57 Thrusters were 25, 15, 10 Pull ups were crap! I was hoping to do 3 sets of 10 butterfly. The first 6 I couldn’t get my rhythm and… Read more »

I’m the same way with pull ups… if that rhythm can’t be found with 1st 3 or so reps, it all falls apart… u still PR’d tho so way to battle!!!

A. Haven’t done a 3 RM in years. New one is #235, 10# over my 1RM from years ago

B. Never done this one that I can remember. 3:40 row (moderate pace), Broke up the thrusters @35 as, 15, 11, then ~8 at a time. Pull-ups were good for me, sets of 6.

Total: 10:57, want to improve thrusters and pull-up rep sets next time.

A.) Still weary of heavy DL’s due to back sprain, so went with 4 x 10 Reverse Hypers on a incline bench and a bunch of heavy kettlebell carries. it did the trick!

B.) 10:15 RX . Felt I lost time on the pullups.

B: Rx 8:20, better than the 8:43 in May, but personal PR is 8:13… so close… but that hurt today

*went based off feel and not percentages while I build myself back up. PR is 500#, felt good to hit 350# x 3. Haven’t deadlifted heavy in probably six months.

B. 12:23 RX
*wasnt too concerned with the clock on this. Felt good to get another workout in. Can’t wait for tomorrow.

My lower back has been tight the last few days. I was more stiff and sore after not training this weekend than I am the following day. I took my time to make sure I was warmed up well today. A. Up to 315×3 which ties a pr. I did 325×2, but I just couldn’t do the third and I wasn’t pushing it today. B. I’ve done this workout once before, but I didn’t post a time. Today was 9:22 which had to be a pr. I finished the row at 3:31. C. Extra stretching and foam rolling and hopefully… Read more »
