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. -

15 Stationary Dips (P-bars, Rogue Matador or other fixed dipping station)

(If you do not have access to a stationary dip station, you may substitute 10 ring dips…but I would like for everyone to try to gain access to a stationary dip station moving forward. As a group, we could use some improvement in upper body pressing strength and strength endurance.) -

Conditioning
21/15/9 RFT of:D.B. Man Makers (45/25×2)
Double Unders17:08, 15# dbs and subbed 4x singles for DU
DFL! But didn't mind, since I used heavier weights than the girls that finished before me. The man makers were TOUGH - mostly during the squat thrusters - my shoulders were burning! Also, I'm terrible at jump rope. Really need to practice that - super inconsistent in being able to link even singles.
