B. Christy (800m run vs. row, 10# plate for HSPUs) – 12:35.

A. 155, 175, 195, 205 – 5 reps
15, 20, 25, 25 – the 25 x 5 reps went lighter because of said shoulder fatigue.
B. 10:46
Hspu off 24″ box in pike.

Press to 80×4. Did 75×5.
B. 9:45 but sub’d 60 jump lunges and 30 seated presses with 45s from the fitness word. Hspus and du’s are not up to par yet.
Finished with drop sets for bi and tri’s… In the past when my elbows hurt I’ve done a little isolation work and it seems to help….not sure why.
A. 173/193/213/243 did some RMs 273×1/293×1
DB shoulder press 30/45/45/45
B. 12:50
Ran 1000 m instead. Shoulders r burnt out
A) 185/205/215/225 all sets of 6.
B) Dubs were a huge fail tonight. I got emotional, stopped, then came back to finish. I despise this movement, which I KNOW is so basic, and I feel I’ve tried everything to make them better, without much success. Unsure of my time with this one, given my small meltdown.
DUs have been a struggle for me as well. I have some good days and some not so good days, and fatigue definitely makes this move more challenging. Give yourself grace here. Though it may seem like you’re not improving, progress is being made and that’s the objective. It’s possible to progress even when we have bad days, in fact, so long as we don’t lose heart, bad days are often when we make our most progress.
Nathan — I appreciate this so much. It feels like it’s such a basic move and for whatever reason, it’s a struggle for me sometimes. Thanks for the wisdom!
A) 60kgs x 6 & 12 kgs x 6, 90 kgs x 6 & 16 kgs x 6, 100 kgs x 6 & 20 kg x 4, 110 kgs x 5 & 20 kgs x 3 > 16 kgs x 4 > 12 kgs x 6.

B. As Rx: 8:56 thanks to Longhorn and Chris M for giving me a goal or I would have taken longer for sure. Off rower at 3:40′ ish and sort of screwed up my D/Us. Started thinking unbroken then split 75/50/25 (due to miss). SHSPU 13/5/5/4/3. Wrist is getting better everyday.
…finished with 30 minutes of shoulder mobility
Nice work, it felt like those HSPUs took forever! I was thinking unbroken on the DUs when I started too… then my shoulders reminded me about part A.
A1. 135/185/205/225×6.
A2. 35/45×6, 50×5, 55×4
B. Rx’d with run instead of row 9:18. Strict hspu’s got me at the end.
Yeah I was worried my shoulders would be taxed from the press, then going into Part B. I’m not very strong in my upper body 🙂
Yea – broke DU’s into 50’s in an attempt to “save my shoulders” then went 12/6/4/4/4 on hspu. Ha
Feel like crap today just slow and lack of energy
A.DL 215-6/225-5/225-6/235-6

B) RX 15.02
A1: up to 5x140kg
A2: up to 5x26kg DBS
B: 15min
Stopped the DUs at 100 add they were taking far too long and subbed L-seated press with 16kg DBs for SHSPU
For the deadlifts segment, is the goal to build up over four sets to your heaviest weight at the suggested rep range, or to see how much we can sustain for four sets of 4 to 6?
I started at 173#, did all 6 reps with ease. So for the second set, I went up to 178#, and hit 6. I believe you can go up in weight until you can only hit 4-5, @disqus_JkgpREGFlW:disqus
Thanks, Jaimie.
A.
Deadlift 5×315-325-335-345

Nice work today Todd! Hope you enjoyed your weekend though! Just think of today as some weighted SHSPU 🙂
@catherineblatner:disqus I think of every day as weighted SHSPUs 😉
Lol! Same!
