Wednesday 8.8.12


1.  Push Press
Work up to a 3 RM

2.  Ring Push ups
1 set close to failure - Leave 1-2 in the tank
1 set to failure
Rings should be set at 1" off the floor.  Be sure your hips travel the same distance as your shoulders and at the same time.

3.  Pulling Superset
A.  Pull up Rows, 3 x 6-12 - these are essentially a belly button to bar pull up, we are looking for the horizontal row action.  If you aren't even close sub barbell bent over rows. Watch the Demo Vid.
B.  Bent over Reverse Flyes, 3 x 8-12 - yep, old school body building reverse flyes.  Keep it light and controlled.

4.  Snatch Grip Shrugs
3 x 8 - these can be dynamic, aka - use your hips.  Keep the scapula retracted.  Straps are OK on this one.

5. Triplet
9-6-3 of:
Elevated HSPU - you choose the height; one or two plates or parallettes.
Burpee
Muscle ups
Burpee

    1. I'm confused too.
      The way I read it since its a tripet was
      9-6-3
      -Deficit HSPU
      -burpee MU
      -burpee
      Hopefully Ben can clarify it....

      Delete
    2. the way we're going to complete it is

      9 reps of
      HSPU with a deficit
      burpee
      MU
      burpee

      then 6 reps of each then 3 reps of each

    3. Ok cool, thanks for the clarification

  2. I hate to ask this but what would you at CFNE sub for muscle ups?/What are the progressions that have worked for you guys? I have tried all...

    ReplyDelete

    1. I like seated muscle ups with a band....focusing on transitions. Only false grip on this one though

      Delete
    2. Aly,
      Depending on the workout and the aspect on the muscle up I will use different progressions for different athletes ... Some of my favorites
      1. Want to work on the Kip & transition? - check out gymnasticswod.com and search for muscle up progression... Awesome videos on setting yourself up
      2. Want to work on strength in the movement aka strict muscle ups!? Hang the band over your pull up rack and sit in it like a seat
      3. 3c2b pullups& 3dips per muscle up... Builds strengh but changes the stimulus of the work out IMO
      Hope this helps

  3. Just got home form the gym...did power clean WOD RX in 9:27....225 eats me up @ BW 150. Had a tough workout partner though. 940 meters on the row

    1. Thats awesome man! It is a goal of mine to get up to 225#. I'm only 135# so I know how you feel when it comes to heavy weight...but that's why i'm gonna get Ha-uge!

  4. Do we treat this pulling superset like "Lynne" and move from A to B quickly and rest before repeating other sets? Or all 3 sets of A then 3 sets of B?

    1. Your risk can be tricky so generic rehab advice may not be a good idea for something that can be a multitude of things, I would make sure to use wrist wraps in the future.

    1. everyone has those good days and bad days at the gym, it took me 36 minutes to complete a workout last week, and yep it had muscle ups in it too, we've all been there. Try and take the positive pieces away and leave the rest at the gym, come back Friday fresh and ready to accomplish the next task at hand.

      were all gonna achieve great things from this program, just stay focused and positive, let the rest fall into place

      hang in there

  61. This was a rough training day, nutrition was off, and actually almost passed out at one point, got super dizzy and took a break and ate some nuts and had a shake then got back to it.

    1. 215 PR
    2. Set 1 - 20, Set 2 - 20
    3. Rows - 155 Flies used 25's too heavy but it was all we had. Prob should have tried the 8KG KB's in hindsight.
    4. Used straps, 185, 205, 225
    5. 11:43 RX. HSPU & burpees are a huge goat.
