-Swings - Was going to do some rowing but it was taken so I just grabbed some of the KBs and did something I just made up on the spot...probably could have done more but I wanted to get home.

Dynamic warmup


"8-8 ROW AND SWING"
from Coach Rut's Fitness Conduit
Set your countdown timer for 16 minutes.

Begin rowing on the calorie display setting. At the end of 8 minutes jump immediately to dumbbell swings. Begin doing swings counting only the good reps.

At the conclusion of the 16 minutes, add the total number of calories rowed in 8 minutes to the total number of swings performed in the following 8 minutes.

Male athletes = 55lb dumbbell
Female athletes = 35lb dumbbell

Sub:
Plank burpess for row (home workout)
53# kb swings for 55 lb db swing - all swings to overhead

96 plank burpees + 102 swings = 198 score

Notes:
Burpees - tried regular burpees for the first 24 but it was too slow and unable to keep a steady pace with the pushup slowing me down so i dropped it down to plank burpees in order to keep 12 burpees/min
Swing - Haven't done to overhead in a while, my form is a bit off, back started fatiguing after the 5th set.

DB clean and jerk - Started with 35s but moved down to 25s after the first 11 reps
Burpees

Stretching -10 minutes

Notes:
-Not sure about the time, didn't take watch but not a bad workout overall, the DB clean and jerks were the most awful out of all the stations and I thought that 35 #'s wouldn't be too bad but I was slowing up everyone else so I dropped down to 25 #'s.

Dynamic warmup
Burgener warmup - bar x 1

Painstorm XIX
anaerobic •••• or an aerobic ••••!


With a 70# bar how many rounds can you complete in 40 minutes of:
5 Deadlifts
5 Hang Power Cleans
5 Front Squats
5 Push Presses
5 Back Squats

Completed 16 rounds.

Notes:
-Took most reps nice and slow to make sure proper form was being followed.
-Push presses killed me! My shoulders were burning after the first 10 minutes and it was hard to keep the bar in the rack position with the burning.
-I probably should have followed the scaling on the Brand X website and done 3 reps instead of 5 or lowered the weight.

Notes:
-Workout is H-I - Workout A from the New Rules of Lifting book.
-Incline bench press felt good, possibly try 105 next time.
-Shoulder press - 55 wasn't too heavy but when I jumped up to 60 it was very hard to keep good posture and had to work very hard to fight going into a kyphotic posture.
-Weighted pullups felt great but the 5th set it was a struggle. I'm glad I didn't jump up
- Didn't get to finish my workout, had to hit the showers so I'd make my dentist appointment on time. Next time I refuse to wait for my co-worker, we were suppose to leave at 11:15...but then a couple of "5 minutes" we didn't actually leave work till 11:45.
