Optional AM Session:
35 Minute Assault Bike or AirDyne @Z1
*Every 5 minutes, perform 10-15 V-Ups + 25m Bear Crawl + 15m Seal Walk
Main Session:
Warmup:
-CrossOver Symmetry Activation Protocol or the MisFit Shoulder Activation Circuit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0v8AwfHljY)
-Three sets of:
Monster Band Walks (6-8 steps each way)
Snatch Push Press + OHS + Snatch Balance w/ 2-second hold in the bottom; 1+1+1 x 3 reps (empty bar or very light load)
A. Every 90 seconds x 8:
Hang Snatch + Snatch
*Warm-up to 65%, then use the first 3-4 sets to build to a heavy working weight, then stay there for the last 4-5 sets
*Drop and reset if you need to between reps
B. EMOM x 6-8 minutes:
Front Squat @20X0; 2-3 reps @60% of 1-RM; speed focus
C. EMOM x 6-8 minutes:
3 Pull-ups + 3 Chest-to-Bar Pull-ups + 1 Bar Muscle Up
D1. Barbell Back Racked Step-Ups (16-18″ box); 6-8/leg; rest 30 seconds x3
D2. Strict/Weighted Pull-up Clusters; 2.2.2.2; rest 15 seconds between clusters; rest 30 seconds x3
D3. Dumbbell Bent Over Row @2111; 8-10 reps/arm (start with your weaker arm); rest 2:30 x 3
Notes:
-Snatch should be for near-perfect technique. Make adjustments from rep to rep to ensure good mechanics.
-Speed focus on FS
-Gymnastics work can be done the other way: BMU first, then the CTB, then the PU, for those that struggle with the BMU. If the priority is developing kip for CTB, then focus on that here.
-For the pull-up “clusters:” choose a weight that you can complete for maybe 4 reps. Do 2 pull-ups, drop down and rest 15 seconds. Repeat this for 4 clusters of two, then rest 30 seconds and move onto the DB Rows. If you can’t complete all the reps after the initial 2, drop the weight and continue (but note what you did).
A) 75-95-115-135-155-165f

Still dealing with this pinched nerve in my low back. Weird movements are affected so did what I could.
A) Went from high hang for 2 reps (anything from the floor was a no go today). Full, explosive hip extension is not possible: 115, 135, 145, 155, 155, 165, 165, 165
B) 177 – done for 7 sets. Light enough that it was manageable
C) can’t kip, butterfly is worse
D1) can’t step up under load (going up stairs is interesting to watch)
D2) 10#, 15#, 20#
D3) 20, 25, 30# (didn’t know where to start with these. good information for next time)
Hoping to be back in full form by the end of the week…unless I’m stupid which is very possible.

A. 135-195 — had to take several cracks at 195 from the floor. Hang felt decent, but just need more patience and vertical drive when working from the floor.
B. 8×3 @200
C. Did my best here. B-fly felt OK, C2B need a TON of work. Did 8 sets.
D. Step ups @165 (18″) for 3×8
PU @ 26/31/36#
Row: 3×8 @ 60#
Feeling pretty exhausted after today with all the pulling. Really looking forward to making some progress with these movements as I build my capacity for volume and skill with gymnastics.

Stoked on hitting 155, missed a few from floor at 135 because I was impatient, but just did another rep from the floor right after and was good.
B. 8×3 at 175. Gotta drive with my elbows!
C. Did all 8 sets unbroken and didn’t miss a rep. Stoked on that. Was able to make sets 1-5, 7& 8 all a butterfly movement including the BMU. On set 6 I hit my nose so I had to switch to a kip for the BMU.
D. Used:
135# at 18″
20# for pull up clusters
50# for rows
Glad to finish part D. Got tiring. Had a ton of fun today though!

Great day today felt energetic had a few good meals before getting to the gym. Programming is awesome Adam, I’ll be sticking to it.
Snatch was clean and fast, nailed all of them just stripper twerked on the a couple which my trainer got after me about. Gotta get a stronger bottom position with the bar overhead.
