  • 20m yoga Workout

  • Invictus Cyle day 1 Workout

    June 24, 2013 – Competition

    Workout of the Day
    A.
    Five sets of:
    Front Squat x 1 rep
    Rest as needed

    In five sets or fewer, build by feel to a “heavy” front squat. Once the load feels heavy and your barbell speed is noticeably slower, move on to part B.

    *worked to 235 single

    B.
    Six sets of:
    Power Snatch from Mid-Thigh x 6 reps
    (these should be fast and continuous, like this.)
    Rest as needed, work up as heavy as you can, but stay focused on barbell speed.

    *worked to 95lbs
    C.
    Back Squat
    *Set 1 – 5 reps @ 65-70% - 205lbs
    *Set 2 – 3 reps @ 75-80% - 235lbs
    *Set 3 – 1 rep @ 85-90% - 245lbs
    Rest 2-3 minutes between sets.
    D.
    Every two minutes, for 12 minutes (6 sets):

    Back Squat x 6 reps @ 75% of 1-RM

    working sets of 205lbs

  • Dumbbell Push Press, Manmakers, Wallballs, Pull-ups Workout

    For total reps and time:
    AMRAP in 7 Minutes:
    10 Dumbbell Push Press 25/45 pounds
    5 Manmakers 25/45 pounds

    rest 2:00 minutes
    Seven rounds for time of:
    10 Wallball shots, 14/20 pound ball
    10 Pull-ups

    (your score will be the reps completed in the AMRAP and the time to complete the entire WOD, rest included... for example 60 reps 15:53)

  • 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.

    Rest as needed
    C.
    Three sets of:
    Push Press x 4-5 reps - 135lbs, 145 lbs, 145lbs
    Rest as needed
    Make these as heavy as you can handle.
    D.
    Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 6 minutes of:
    15 Stationary Dips (P-bars, Rogue Matador or other fixed dipping station)
    10 Handstand Push-Ups
    5 Burpees
    (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.)

    D.B. Man Makers (45/25×2)
    Double Unders

    17:08, 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.
