  • Box Jump, Single Arm DB Swing/ Snatch (both arms), two arm DB swing, DB Bench Workout

    I did a triplet of sorts of:
    15 box jumps (first time doing box jumps since injury and I was being SUPER careful and concentrating on NOT bending over when landing and rebounding. I did a few sets at about 20" and then 22" & 24". felt good overall.
    I went into single arm DB swings. This was very similar to the snatch, but the arm was a bit straighter. I did enfasize the locking out at the top kind of like the snatch. I did this for 10 reps each arm and then went into a heavier two arm DB swing x 10
    I used 30 lbs for the single arm swings, and then 40 & 45 lbs for the two arm DB swings overhead. I was feeling it a little bit in the lower back with the two arm swings, but I think it was just getting a little tight after doing so many reps with posterior concentration.
    I did DB benching at the end of the complex: 35, 45, 55, 65, 75 lbs. All felt very good. I did all for 10 reps, except the 75 lbs which I did for 6 reps. I then did ball push ups with my legs on the bench at the end. I haven't done these movements in a really long time and they felt fine. I was actually taking a pause at the bottom of the DB bench presses to really get that eccentric load and to explode a bit out of that exagerated stretch position.

  • Walking Lunges with 45 lbs OHD, thrusters and rotating switch with landmine, T2B, HSPUs on elevated plates + KB snatches & DUs Workout

    I went to Mid City Gym at lunchtime today and did a mix up of:
    3 rounds of:
    walking lunges with 45 lb OHD for about 50' (warmed up with nothing, then a 25 lb plate then started with the 45 -they felt easy and fine.)
    then I did a mix up of about 5 reps each side of: thruter type switching to opposite hand and then doing a rotating and pressing movement with the landmine
    then I did 15 T2B
    then I did elevated HSPUs - about 6-8 frist with just 45 lb bumper plates, then I did them strict for about 5 reps then did a few kipping reps. In the last round I did some on (2) 45 lb. bumper plates stacked, both strict and kipping.

    Post WOD:
    I decided to do some technique work with KB snatching. I used 8,12 & 16 kg KBs and did 40 DUs first and then about 6-7 reps each side of the KB snatch.

    a little stretching and a shower and back to work
