1 – 4 ring MU

2 – 8 PC/PJ @ 115lbs

3 – 16 wallballs

*add a minute rest after dubs if needed to keep confidence on rings

Shoulder felt ok, but I didn’t trust the rings so went with bmu instead….took no extra minute rest. The only problem with doing the bar muscle up, not sure if I was overcompensating, but I felt my lats get really fired up.

As the day progressed, my shoulder was not happy and I know I need to get some kind of therapy beyond the rehab work that we are currently getting in. As well as the shoulder, my right lat is not happy with the bmu work. just felt like a contraction that I haven’t had to do in a while.

+ (rest 3-4 min)

5 sets

*165-185lbs

185

10 box jump overs @ 24in

10 chest to bar

25ft dbl DB farmer carry lunge @ 50lbs per hand

4+4 – So my lat was in a major level of discomfort and my shoulder was about a 3 or 4 on the pain scale. Which I felt especially when warming up the CTB and was just not going to happen. So for the workout I did 7 strict CTB pull up. So with all things being considered I am very happy with the performance here. I wished i could’ve pushed through the CTB pull up but it scared me more than anything that I did not want to push through that level of pain tolerance. 

+

C – 5 sets of 10 band resisted strict presses, rest 60 sec

*skinny bands anchored low, light or empty BB

Red bands and empty bb

D – 5 sets of 5 strict pullups, rest 60 sec

*come to a complete dead hang at bottom of each

With the pain I felt trying the ctb, these felt good and pain free, i think it’s just that going in and out of extension. Because the kip does not appear to pose a problem, or at least what I feel in the kip is around a 1 or a little less.

*might need to place something on ground for hands to press into to find good tension. Try to push your hips UP into a long arch

+

A – Empty bar Burgener Snatch Warmup x 1 full set (3 reps/variation)

done

B – Squat snatch x 1/Hang squat snatch x 1 – new complex every 90 sec x 6

*by set, lets go 145*2, 155*2, 165*2

With treatment this am, the therapist wanted me to go through training as normal as possible, I was hoping i could hit these numbers but I was very apprehensive, so I actually started with 125—from there my loading was 135 and 145….after 145 I went on a rest clock instead of a every 90sec and I was able to hit 155 & 165. So I’m sure happy and pumped about this. I did also set my grip up a touch more narrow than I normally go with. I feel the closer overhead position allows for greater external rotation in my overhead position. I deduced this as I really felt no pain if I catch the bar perfectly in the groove overhead, but if it is slightly forward then i feel that little twinge. So I’ll stay with the more narrow grip for now. The other good feeling was coming off the ground the weight felt really really good and positions were strong, so slowly getting stronger overhead but off the ground feel getting stronger much quicker. 

C – Snatch grip below knee yielding isometric hold x 18 sec @ 185lbs, new set every 2 min x 4

*shoulders back, posterior chain under tension, keep good posture

Done

+

5 sets, rest 60 sec bt sets

4 shuttle runs

6 bar facing burpees

6 PC/PJ @ 95lbs

8 toes to bar

*target keeping transitions and cycle speed high

*if you feel your power start to drop off in rounds 3 or 4, then extend rest to 90-120 sec.

I rounded up to make math easier so I got a little more than 60sec rest on each set – 1:38–1:39–1:34 — 1:35 — 1:29 – cycling time got faster because of a few things. Shuttle run footwork efficiency, burpee footwork and I stopped making sure I was grabbing the barbell in the right place and just trusting and grabbing.
