F7 GST B (Snatches/Lunges)

Total time: 51:00 great workout! 
Note: Cut short today. Time above is from last time. 

SLS 0-16:30

SLS/SE3 5rx5 all sets holding 35# kb Good weight. 

Single Leg Squat

5r SLS/SE3-iM for each work set

Glute Ham Raises 


Fries hamstrings. Wow. Focus on minimizing arm assistance on both eccentric and concentric phase. 

DB Snatches 19:15- 40:00

70 x 8 

80 x 6 good weight. Forearm strain preventing grip overhead. Stopped after these sets. 

5x5 BB lunges @ 155#

90 x 3 good drive! Great depth and form. Perfect set. Last set with left arm just barely short of lockout, so maybe a full three isn't fair. DIDNT DO TODAY

75 x 6 Perfect set. Great form, good weight. Maybe up to 80 next week.  DIDNT DO TODAY

75 x 6 Wow! Nice work! Great weight. Mentally tough toward the end, but once I committed, the strength was there.  DIDNT DO TODAY

MN 44:30 - 52:00

MN/PE9: 4x4r

V to L Hanging Leg Lifts

These are brutal! Legs coming down with momentum are very hard to stop. I know these would be easier with back support, but I don't have that luxury right now. 

5r MN/PE8-iM for each work set

Weighted Bench Pike Squats 65#

Killers. Make sure knees lock out on every rep. 

Overall a great workout. 

SL 38:00 - 43:30

SL/PE10: 3x8r

1/2 Windshield Wipers

Tough without back support, but if done on Smith Machine, you can get full ROM. 

5r SL/PE10-iM for each work set

Bent Hurdler Hold 10#

F7 GST A

Total time: 47:45
Still have tendonitis in forearms and elbows, but resumed Rx. Took out planche leans and reverse curls for now. Good pace. Felt strong today. Spent a little more time on wrist exercises which impacted final time, but I'm ok with it. 

Weight : 169

FL 0-9:15

FL/PE14: 4x4r All sets feel great. Great tension and body shape. Tough towards end. Keep movement controlled. Last set broken. Wow. 

Kip Extension 

10r FL/PE14-iM for each work set

Low Bridge single leg lift


sPL 10:00 - 26:00

Wrist conditioning series

SPL/SE2: 5x25s used no DB at all today. Great sets. Awesome form. 

Advanced Frog stand

Good sets. Keep arms straight. Really focusing on driving hips up off elbows.  Great quality reps. Shoulders high and body hollow. Great tension in the right places. 

10r SPL/PE7-iM for each work set

Planche double leg extension. Bench ends  an inch or two above navel. Hang way off bench!

HBP 27:30 - 35:30

HBP/PE15: 3x5r 2x4r (first three sets hit 5 reps)

Headstand Push-up (dropped bar a bit and kept body stacked at a 90 today just to reinforce the position and get reps with perfect form. 

*focus on keeping body in line. Hands on Palm width forward of mat line. Body on a slight angle, but still gives good resistance.  Bar set in 3rd hole from top. Took 1:00 rest between sets to allow better performance. Shoulders tire quickly. I know it will affect time, but I'm more concerned with quality than speed. 

10r HBP/PE15-iM for each work set

Bent Arm Prone Rep

RC 38:30 - 47:45

RC/PE14: 5x5r Pulling all the way until neck hits bar or it doesn't count. Dropping to a dead hang between reps.
