A. Front Squat
*Set 1 – 3 reps @ 50%
*Set 2 – 3 reps @ 60%
*Set 3 – 3 reps @ 70%
*Set 4 – 3 reps @ 80%
*Set 5 – 3 reps @ 80%
Rest as needed between sets
B. With your 1-RM Strict Press, accumulate 2 minutes in an Overhead Hold. Record the time it takes you to complete this.
C. Establish a max weight for 100 meter continuous 1 Arm Farmer’s Carry (use a Dumbbell, Kettlebell, or Farmer’s Walk handles)
+
2 Minute Assault Bike @120% of 10 Minute Max Cals Pace*
Rest 60 seconds
x 6 sets
*To determine this pace:
Take your max calories in 10 minutes and multiply it by 1.2
Then, look to work at the corresponding RPMs for what number you get:
220 cals – 72 RPM avg
210 cals – 71 RPM avg
200 cals – 70 RPM avg
190 cals – 69 RPM avg
180 cals – 68 RPM avg
170 cals – 67 RPM avg
160 cals – 66 RPM avg
150 cals – 64 RPM avg
140 cals – 63 RPM avg
130 cals – 62 RPM avg
120 cals – 61 RPM avg
110 cals – 60 RPM avg
100 cals – 59 RPM avg
For example, if I got 130 cals on my 10 minute test, then 120% would be 156 cals, and my goal will be to hold between 64 and 66 RPMs for the entire 2 minute work piece.
PLEASE NOTE: if this pace is too difficult for you to repeat, then drop it down to something that you can maintain (and recover from), to keep the same output for all 6 sets.

1) 62

3) 58
4) 56
5) 57
6) 61 – started at like 58-59ish, went up to 61 at 1:15 mark, then 64 for the last 15 seconds or so.
Definitely overestimated my work capacity here. I should have aimed for 60 RPM; 62 was unsustainable but I didn’t realize that until it was too late (clearly). It also would have been smarter if I had built up to 60 or 62 or whatever during each set rather than trying to hit 62 and keep that going.

First day back after surgery last Thursday. Splints out tomorrow, so I should be able to use my nose starting then. Assault bike was very tough. Kept it at 64-65 mouth breathing like a dog. Front squats felt heavy. Expecting an extended adjustment period as I work back in. Gonna have to build slowly. Overall just grateful to be back! Feels good to move again!

B: 80 lb overhead hold, went 1:10, rested 30 seconds, and then finished it for a total time of 2:30
Skipped the farmers carry because of time
C: did the ten min air dyne test and got 120 cals without roll over and 122 with the roll over. I tried to just continuously get 12 cals a min as a pace and that worked out to being about a consistent 58-60 rpm. Did this rather than guessing my pace for the workout because I’ve never done this test and thought it would be a really useful number to have!!
