Tuesday 11.23.10

Sweet Potato Fries were a nice treat after lunch to recover from a brutal Squat and Lunge day!  As for the soda, well that's not the goal I'm working on presently and "diet mountain dew does taste more like regular mountain dew"...(wonder if I can get any sponsorship for plugging the product?).


SWOD: Planche Push Up practice x 30

Metcon: 5 rounds:
-400 m Run *
-15 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls 95/ 65

*If raining you can sub 500m Row or 50 Double Unders

The SWOD is not for time, but for doing 30 good reps at the most difficult progression for you.  This is a progression exercise to eventually work up to a Planche, which can be found with description and video here

For the metcon, the best advice is move fast to stay warm!

  3. Ok so I must have been bothered yesterday by not trying more weight on the snatch cuz I had a dream last night about that workout. Tha bar was wobbly, the weights wouldn't stay on tight, I had fluffy things on the bar that kept getting in my way! It was a frustrating dream! I guess that means I need to try it huh?

    Hey how did the planche practice go? Looks daunting....

    Okay so I can't see me trying to get a bunch of Army guys doing the Planche Push-up. So I piched 3 different exercises with "Up" in the name. Metcon:
    3 rounds for time of:
    25 Double unders
    20 Push-ups
    15 HSPU
    10 Turkish Getups.

    SWOD: Hang Snatch 5x3 at 115, 1RM at 135
    Push Press 5x3 at 115, 1RM at 135.
    Yes, I just did them together but I can't remember the proper name when the two exercises are tied together.
    Time 22:00 flat.

  9. HSPU Day #8.

    I got 4 in a row with full range of motion. Before this challenge, all my HSPU's were to an Abmat. This challenge is definitely helping! If you haven't started yet and want to get better at HSPU's, you should really join in!

  16. HSPU- Day 8

    I agree with you Brad, I can tell I am getting more depth after only 8 days. I am probably about 1 abmat in depth, but am not using one, so I can shoot for the floor!

    PS When I first read your post, I thought you meant 4 full range planche pushups! LOL
