April 27, 2014 Conditioning


  • Rowing (15 second sprints): 95m (on 6 diff again..ugh. Corrected to 10 on all subsequent attempts), 97, 100, 97, 95
  • DB Swings: 100*10 120*10 120*10
  • Battling Ropes: 50, 50
  • MB Slams: 20*10 r. shoulder
  • 31" plyo box jumps: 4, legs exhausted from swings

Raining again.  This went well, used a DB to do swings with since the KBs only go up to like 60 lbs. at my gym.  Right shoulder still a bit hurting, but getting better.

BB DL: 315*5 315*5 315*5
Quadrupled-Up mini-banded DL: 315*1 (105 lbs. dbs off the ground..)
Scapular Depressions: 13, 9
34" Box Jump / Seated Box Jump Superset: 15/15
Paloff Presses: 50*3
KB Stack Plank Transfers (2kg,2kg,4kg,4kg): 2, 2

Deload week for deadlifting after last weeks 400*10 effort.  Decided to try some banded deadlifts.  Obviously they're too long to actually gain tension as I lock out a rep, so I doubled them up....still too loose.  So then I quadrupled them up and anchored them to 105 lbs. dumbbells.  What did I learn? Well, seeing as the dumbbells immediately came off the floor as I lifted, I know I can lockout 525 lbs. fairly easily.  If I can get those first couple inches of it off the ground I should be good. (not sure if I'm serious or not...).   Tried scapular depressions (video below), got them from this article.  I thought they'd be incredibly easy. Whoops.  Decided to do some jump work since I've been busy the last couple Sundays when I usually do jump work.  Supersetted some jumps here. Feels good man.  Finished with paloffs, and then a plank stack transfer with kb's.  Abs are actually sore today, which never happens.

  • 28kg KB Swing Tabata: 13,13,13,13,12,12,12,13
  • 34.5" Plyometric Box Jumps: 30
  • 35.5" Seated Plyometric Box Jumps: 20
  • Paloff Presses: 50*3
  • Ab-Wheel: 6

Good session, feels good to get back into it!  Started putting plates under the box legs to up the height.  I briefly thought about attempting to try jumps onto a medium box stacked on the tall, which would put me at 39.5".  When I jump straight up my feet actually clear the top by about .5", but the risk is pretty high right now, I'm going to build up over the next couple weeks. I need to find a way to raise the boxes that's safer than putting them on weight plates and putting the legs of the boxes on the hole in the middle.  Seated jumps went well too.  Good session, video of seated box jumps below!
