2 Box Jumps (or tuck jumps)

14 rounds. 30 seconds between rounds

Around round 7 I started getting in my head too much with the box jumps and started landing on my shins instead of my feet. So I switched to tuck jumps to round out the circuit.

Monsters of the Mississippi update

Looks like Max Keg is now a Keg Series. They also added a Max Deadlift. Don’t know the prospective weights for the Keg Series. Don’t know whether it 3 attempts or a rising bar for Deadlifts, what kind of bar or height they are planning. This honestly doesn’t change my plan much at all. Might need to make a small change in the last 4 weeks but nothing major.

So in an effort to get through everything a touch quicker I supersetted stuff with the stepups. It was not a giant set. I supersetted the Stepups with the Fitness Bag Extensions. Then once I was done with the Extensions I still had 4 sets of stepups left so I did my duck walk speed work as a super set with the remaining stepups.

Thought to try and do static holds, only got up to 8 or 9 seconds with 315. For future training sessions will probably do the holds at a slightly lighter weight and build up to 315 holds. Probably start at 295.

Sleep has been crap, and fatigue is super high. Was hoping to get through 3 more weeks of training but it was apparent that that wasnt going pan out.

Pretty bad snow storm was coming in. So I opted for the closer anytime fitness. I usually drive across town so I can train with the sled. Just figured it wasn’t worth it. Ended up being the right call, in the 35 minutes this took me it became a very scary 5 minute drive home. Visibility was absolute garbage.

The weighted chinups would be one full rep with normal speed and the second rep would be normal speed up, hold at the top and exaggerate the negative.
