I suppose if I understood the exercises I’d probably admire your circuits as well. Crippler’s more knowledgeable than I am. Just read how he describes his bench spotters.
Well, I care. I regard you as the canary in the coal mine.
Good CGBP work. If that guy in my gym hadn’t had a heart attack this morning I’d have done those, but at a lesser weight. Still determined to match your deadlifts.
I parked in different place for church yesterday and realized the Baton Rouge hotel you stayed in is about 200 feet of parking lot away from the old, dirty red brick Victorian looking church we attend regularly. I also realized I was initiated into my college fraternity directly across the street from that hotel. When one finally moves from the deep woods…
Incline tmill 5min just getting things to function
Jump rope 10 min…not continuous …but as much as I could do in 10 min… didn’t count reps…
Bike intervals 5 20 sec sprint, 40 sec cruise
Circus Training 3x
Side plank 30sec side
Facepulls 10
Half kneeling cable chops 8 side
BPA’s 10
Pallof Up/downs 6 side ( more challenging than I thought it would be considering I was using 20lbs)
RKC Planks 2x 15 seconds
Suitcase carry 50lb DB 100 paces each hand
Rest 90 seconds
stretchy/mobility 5 min
So jump rope is the conditioning tool for this day in this cycle but I needed to do other stuff; like intervals, as I am just not proficient enough to be able to stay with it long enough. Each week it will get better…I hope !
I did a new circus I cobbled together …it took me one time through to get weights right. The Pallof Up/downs you actually go from standing up to rev lunge into a tall kneeling position and back up while holding the cable extended in front of you at the midpoint of your body…I looked drunk trying to do this…
PG nice to have you do a cameo ! hope you are well.
warmup pullups EMOM 4x5
