121021 Handstand practice

Buy in:
Foam rolling
hip and shoulder MOB

Skill:
15 minutes chest to wall Handstand practice.
Notes: The goal is to find a position that is basically nose and toes to wall. If this is easy, then begin to try shoulder touches without allowing the torso or thighs to collapse against the wall.

Handstands were much better than I expected. No issues with keeping the required position.

Metcon:
1a) 3X7 Seated DB Shoulder press – heaviest possible, rest 30 sec.
1b) 3X7 Good Mornings – heavy, rest 30 sec.
1c) 3X20 BB Stepups 20″ (front rack)– heavy, rest 30 sec.
1d) 3X7 Weighted Muscle-Ups – heaviest possible, rest 30 sec.
Notes: Stepups are 20 total alternating steps. Use a challenging weight, but do not use so much that you allow the trail leg to touch the box before the stepping leg is fully extended. Muscle-Ups are designed to be performed UB. If you cannot perform 7 UB without weight, try to get as large of a ME set as possible, but do not add load.
1a) 40# DBs
1b) 95#
1c) 95#
1d) green band

121019 High Bar Back Squats

Buy in:
5 min jump rope
5 min DROMs
10 squats

Strength:
High Bar Back Squat:
Set 1) Every 30 seconds for 2:00 (5 total reps) – 1 rep @ 70% (205#)
*Rest 2:00
Set 2) Every 45 seconds for 2:15 (4 total reps) – 1 rep @ 75% (220#)
*Rest 3:00
Set 3) Every 60 seconds for 2:00 (3 total reps) – 1 rep @ 80% (235#)
Notes: Each set should be performed without re-racking the bar. Once you have walked out of the rack with the barbell, do not put it down until the set is finished. Percentage should be based off of your most recent 1RM Squat.

This looked worse on paper. The periods in between reps were tough on the traps especially in the last round, but the reps were fine. All reps were done with great form and ROM. Felt really strong today. I think a lot has to do with adding creatine and protein back in to my regimen.

Metcon:
3 rounds for time of:
50 KB Hi-Pulls 24/16kg (50# DB)
50 Double-Unders
Notes: KB Hi-Pulls begin with the KB touching the floor, and finish with the KB handle under the chin and elbows above the KB handle. These may be performed like a swing, but the KB must touch the floor on every rep.
Time: 15:28

Suck-fest. The high-pulls were metabolically and mentally brutal. DUs have been much better lately. Each round I was able to rip off a chunk of 25 UB.

In 12 minutes complete:
100 UB Double-Unders
AMRAP of…
7 Deadlifts 275/185# (255#)
25 Burpees
Notes: The 100 Double-Unders are a “buy-in”. when the 12 minute clock starts they must be completed before moving on to the AMRAP. The TOTAL TIME of the entire piece is 12 minutes. If you do not complete the 100 Double-Unders in the 12 minutes your score is ZERO.
Score: 2 rounds + 7 deadlifts

Got 27 UB DUs to start. Think that might be a record.  Deadlifts felt OK considering I haven't done them in a while. Could have have done them as Rx'd but it would have been slower. Made the right call.

Failed on last rep. Hamstrings still very sore from RDL's on Monday, maybe that had something to do with it. Regardless, I've been off the creatine for a couple of months and am beginning to wonder if that's why I'm seeing a dip in strength. Picked up some more today so we'll see how it goes.
