***SUPER IMPORTANT NOTE!!!***

I am out of town Wednesday night. We are short on coaches due to 2 being out of town and the rest covering classes and personal training sessions. SO, I’m posting this programming hoping that you can get into the gym sometime Wednesday/Thursday/Friday to get it done during Open Gym time. Technically, our regularly scheduled class time is Open Gym time on Wednesday, so if you’re there and I’m not — go ahead and do it!! I’ll have it written on the board with a reminder that I will be gone.

Warm-up: 3×10 hollow rocks, 3×10 Supermans (with 3-sec hold)

A.  Clean and jerk – 4×2@85%

B.  Back squat – 4×3@85%

C. Retest! Test 1: 3x max plank hold with 1:1 work:rest. Test 2:  500m in as few pulls as possible. Refer back to Monday 8/24/15 for numbers to beat!!

Guest coach Amy tonight!! Be nice, you hooligans. 🙂

Week 5, Day 13 — today marks the start of our 2nd phase of our 13-week cycle. This phase focuses on strength and developing power in the lifts. The same rules apply about taking 3-5 warmup sets to get to your working weight each day. 

Warm-up: 3×3 split jerk + 3 press from split (note: 1 rep is the jerk + the 3 presses from the split)
A.  Jerk – 3×3@75%

B.  Front squat – 3×3@75%. Immediately follow each set with 3 box jumps to a moderate height. 

C.  Triple threat Tabata! Complete all 8 rounds of one movement before moving on to the next. Take 1:00 rest between movements, but hit it hard on the work periods!

  • Barbell bent-over rows @ 45/33#
  • Jumping lunges (your foot placement should be your jerk landing position)
  • Burpees (some good old-fashioned heart pumping burpees!)
