(Specialty warm-up: 5L, 5R 1-arm kettlebell swing, 5 "Floor-to-feet" + accuracy assessment (Would I deadlift from here?), jumprope selection) Deadlift: 1 x 5 @ 50% of 2RM, each with full 5/1000 @ top (as kettlebell suitcase deadlift) 1 x 5 @ 65%, each with full 3/1000 @ top 5 x 3 @ (up to) 80% of 2RM 1 x 7 @ 65% of 2RM Rest as needed between sets. If a set requires interruption, make as minor a weight adjustment as possible prior to the next. When scheme is listed as “1 x 7″, it always refers to “Sets” x “Reps”. Reminder: Position and organized execution always govern weight, and “locked out” always includes a rigid stop of motion. Today: Perform 3 pull-up and 5L, 5R unassisted (no stacked-hard) 1-arm kettlebell swing @ 1/4 BW immediately following each set of deadlift, and rest as needed after the three movements are complete. Then: 50 Kettlebell Figure-8 @ (up to) 1/4 BW (use around-the-body pass if needed- balance L to R) 25 Underhand bodyweight row 25 "Floor-to-feet" 25 Bodyweight row (any hand position, any anchor, not underhand) 250 Jumprope (Each miss: Add 10 reps) Take short rest as needed during Figure-8 to keep mechanics sound and range of motion thorough; Anti-rest, in the rest. Hustle hard, focus on mechanics and breathing, and conquer the conditioning. And then, “Time under tension”: 5 x 10 Mace front pendulum + 25 "Prison" Abmat sit-up + 15 cat/ cow stretch Reminder: Set Abmat behind you, not underneath you (a few inches from your body, not wedged underneath like a doorstop). With feet placed at/ around hip width, and fingers interlaced and pulled tight behind your head, perform sit-ups without allowing butt to come off the ground, elbows to travel forward of your ears, or posture to break. Keep a strong, organized arch, and drive hips forward at the top of each rep. When performed correctly, these are very difficult. If they are not, please assess yourself. Thank you.
