Day 10

THIS IS COMPLICATED SO I WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND :)!!

** percentages are based off of 90% of 1RM- 175#

Back Squat

A. 1) 65% x 5 (if these sets feel light thats ok, they’re supposed to)- 115

75% x 5 (if these sets feel light thats ok, they’re supposed to)- 130

85% x 5+ (AMRAP -1 or 2)- 150 x 4

-then

. 2) go up from .05% from 85% as long as you feel you can confidently hit a set of 5

(this may mean 1 additional set of 5, it may mean 2 or 3)

after last set of 5, we go up .05% of most recent set of 5 and hit singles

3) You do a single as long as you know you can confidently hit it, and jumps are

always .05% if you feel you cannot hit .05% increase, then you stop :) (i.e. heavy, not maximal)155, 160, F at 170

4) Perform 3x10 at the same weight that was your 65% x 5- 115

B. Weighted Box Jumps 6 sets x 4 reps (add height as able; stick with same weight vest weight across but record # used) 28# vest- made it to 3 jerk blocks high

C. Sled Drag Accumulate 4 x 40 meters

*notes about weight: you should have a load on the sled that enables constant movement but heavy slow steps, i.e. you shouldn’t be able to sprint, step through the whole of the foot not just the forefoot (you’ll use the weight belt to hook up to the sled and ill show you how to get set up!) 60#

D. Muscle Up Practice 5x1

Day 11

85% x 5+ (AMRAP -1 or 2) 170 x 5 then 170 x 11

-then

. 2) go up from .05% from 85% as long as you feel you can confidently hit a set of 5

(this may mean 1 additional set of 5, it may mean 2 or 3)

after last set of 5, we go up .05% of most recent set of 5 and hit singles

180 x 5

190 x 5

200 x 5

3) You do a single as long as you know you can confidently hit it, and jumps are

-then

. go up from .05% from 90% as long as you feel you can confidently hit a set of 3

(this may mean 1 additional set of 3, it may mean 2 or 3)

after last set of 3, we go up .05% of most recent set of 3 and hit singles- no sets of 3, 160 x 1, had to bail on 165, I think we need to adjust the numbers- it feels soooo heavy
