Weekly Workouts 11/7/2022
MONDAY
I like having Monday’s reserved for squat days. But I also like all the clean work we got in last week. So today I’ll try to add everything together by isolating the pull under the bar allowing for a squat movement as well. And if you guys haven’t noticed, I’m a firm believer in trunk work; not just abs.
A) Tall Cleans
– standing upright, pull yourself right down to a squat clean, move feet out
5 sets of 5 reps @50%

25 R. KB Swings 16/12kg (Adv: 24/16kg) (Beef: 32/24kg)
* 15 min time cap
TUESDAY
Going back to those sets of 10 deadlifts. Everyone should have a better idea of loading and really try and push that weight up. I’d like everyone to work in 3 sets of 5 warming up to 55%-65% of their 1RM if possible. Also like last week, as you return the bar back to the ground, do a lite touch on the floor and stand back up
A) E3MOM for 5 sets (15 mins)
10 Deadlifts (no bouncing)
Warm up 5 reps @35%; 55%; 65% (*working sets should be difficult)

Thursdays are like eating your vegetables when you’re a kid. No one loved ’em but you had to eat them because they were good for you. Trying to keep it easy’ish today (RPE 6-7)

I hope everyone is getting an idea of how beneficial workouts like yesterday are. And also allows people to push and hang on for days like today. Also, I’d like to try something new with some strength work for pull-ups (2.1.1)

1 set = 2 Pull Ups + 1 Pull Up + 1 Pull Up (Rest 10s between)
Rest 2:00

200 DU (Accumulated) (partner hold bar in standing deadlift position; again)
SUNDAY
I think of Sunday workouts as less joint pounding, medium strength and consistent moving day. Not as slow as an active recovery day but a good moving day. But then there seems to be people who want more. All you have to do is say, “Where’s the beef?”
