Woke up on Sunday with a headache from the gym’s Christmas party so it turned out to be a rest weekend. Good thing with today’s workout.
Warm-up
4 Sets
- 20s Bottom of Push-up Hold (2″ off floor)
- 10s Rest
- 20s Superman Hold
- 10s Rest
Strength
Back Squat
- 10×45#
- 5×115
- 5×165
- 5×205
- 5×225
- 5x5x245
The working sets were programmed at 75%, so rounded down when basing off the 335 pound max. Didn’t want to blow up too much with 90 wall balls coming up. Felt better than the 6x4x265 last week and a nice jump over the 5x5x245 from a few weeks ago.
Conditioning
3 Rounds
- 30 Wall Ball (20#, 10′)
- 25 American KBS (53#)
- 20 C2B Pull-ups
The Rx weight was 70 pounds, but not for this guy. Every round I went 3×10 wall balls, 15-10 kettlebell swings, and 4×5 chest-to-bars. First time trying butterfly again for C2B and it felt great, so I used it the whole way. I guess that is the last thing to come back since I just got my muscle-ups back. My rep schemes worked well and I was surprised to keep hitting sets of 5 on the rig. Usually I can’t keep up that large of sets for C2B and especially not with the butterfly kip. Finished in 13:24.
Started getting a headache within minutes and several other people did as well. With those 3 movements your head is continually moving up and down, so maybe that did it. Tough workout!
