WHITEBOARD – 17 March 2014

Posted by beyultraining on March 17, 2014 · 2 Comments 

Workload: 

A1. Back Squat – 3 sets of 8 (72.5% 1 Rep Max)

Then: 

A2. 3 Rounds of: 
8 DB Step-Ups (Total DB weight = 25% Current 1 rep Back Squat)
Max Set Straight Bar Dips
*Rest 90-120s between rounds.  Very controlled Step-ups & failure on dips once speed  form deviate slightly.  

Then: 

B1. 2 Rounds of (1 minute at each station): 
Burpees
Wallball (20/14)
Rest

Row
KB Swing (Full Extension – 55/35)
Rest

Notes: When building up to your working sets for the squats do NOT do sets of 8 on all of your warm-up sets.  Conserve your energy to hit the working sets appropriately.

For section A2. this is meant to be strength building.  The step-ups are very controlled with an eye towards keeping the knee on top of the foot and controlling the negative down (step down).  B1, is your conditioning.  Have fun with that.

  • John Donne – Meditation 17

    No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...
