147:01

Reminder prior to beginning this training week:If you have not watched through our concept, strategy, and "Lexicon" videos on the WBTV section of the site, please do so! Some of the things mentioned and described are important components of each and every progress-minded training week we ever participate in. Thank you! Additionally: Please remember that if the training needs to be changed based on access, stress, time, etc, there are always ways to stay in the intended "progress curve" by being sure that any adjustments still adhere to the movement pattern/ rep scheme/ energy system of the designated training day! Having such a deep well of sensible scaling options always makes it possible to find and apply what we're looking for.______________________________ 147:01 (Specialty warm-up: 5L, 5R kettlebell row @ (minimum) 1/2 BW, 10 medicine ball throw) Pendlay row:

Climb to a new 2RM using warm-up sets of no more than 5 reps (starting at no more than 60%) before adjusting weight. Rest as needed, and keep total number of post warm-up lifts under 20 (Ex. 5, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2… ). Note: Achieving a 2RM is not done at all cost of mechanics, form, range of motion, or composure. Unless there’s money on the line, position, execution, and range of motion govern weight.

Specific to Pendlay row: If the bar doesn't touch your chest at the top, or you're standing up to pull it, the weight is too heavy and the rep does not count; Adjust accordingly, continue safely. Measuring and repeating standards first requires acknowledging and adhering to them.

Then:

Kettlebell “Short Swing”: Climb to a new 5RM using warm-up sets of no more than 9 reps before adjusting weight. Rest as needed, and keep total number of swings under 40 (Ex. 9, 7, 5, 5, 5, 5).
