SwissDanny Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Fri - Program 500m row, yuri bands, five-way bodyline 5x 5 wide grip pull up, 5 slow ring push up 4x 3 military press 45kg, 5 bar dips 3x 10 elbow rotations 10kg, 20s floor Lsit with heels down 2x 20 wall runs, 20s max knee tuck hang 500m row.

Kit_L Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I like both those mobility/stretching drills, SD. Very nice, especially the front rack one. And when you can get both elbows that high, then resting the bar on the delts is natural. Happy New Year to you, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissDanny Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Sat - Hinge, hamstrings glutes focus Row, Ski, Yuri band, SARH (single arm ring hangs), goblet squat hips 5x 5 Slow OHS 95-115lbs alternating 2RL skater squats for glute activation 5x 5 Pistol to bench progressions 5x 6 GH Raises alternating 8 GH Sit ups (just past horizontal), between sets more SARH and DARH really getting into pecs. 3x10+10s Jefferson curl 16, 20, 24kg. OHS squat felt super solid despite having done lots of straight arm pressing in last few days. My current Rx of mobilizations for this sort of position is definitely opening up new RoM and sensations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissDanny Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Mon - CF - 1000m row, bodyline tabata - tabata double under alternating ring support - tabata wall HS hold alternating strict pull ups - amrap 8' 10 DL 90kg 6 HSPU negatives 3 rounds - 3 rtf 30 wall ball, 30 DU 8:20 Like the bunny without Duracell by the end of the first WoD, probably since I've cut a lot of carbs, and am running 1000kcal deficit for a week now to get rid of the xmas excess. Which made the wall balls a slog. But really happy with the bodyweight stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissDanny Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Sun - Rest Mon - Open Gym - Row 1000m, dynamic warm up focus hamstring, glute activation - 5x5 DL 305lb - 5x 5x Pistol progression LR alt 8x Assisted CTB pullups - 5x 5x Strict press 40/45kg alt SLDL 5x 24kg LR - 5x 6x GH raises, 6x GHD situps - Accumulate 5mins hanging cobra. First time going heavier on DL for ages, this is about 85% of old 1RM but felt fairly easy. Strict press are as frustrating as ever, but recent bodyline and shoulder work helping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkusO Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Great Danny! Did you integrate the single leg deadlift for flexibility reasons or is this part of your strength work? Just asking because I recently put them back into my plan and they seem to help a lot now (not so much at an earlier stage though). Even unweighted this is a very nice stretch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissDanny Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 @markus Emmet got me doing them. For me it's about recruitment of hams and glutes as well as improving hip angle. I really focus on keeping hips level, keeping a long torso, minimal but some knee bend, and really coming up using hams and glutes. For the longest home I just stuck at 20kg KB, but am increasing that slowly now. I like the unilateral aspect because it feels like my left and right legs function very differently. Tue - CF - Body-line - Tabata Wallball alt HS wall hold - 3x 20s ring beat swing with ring row every 2/3 swings - 6x 3 Clean DL TnG 185lbs each 20s. Took it easy after yesterday heavy DL - FT 60 DU, 4 rounds 6 DL, 6 hang clean, 6 shoulder to overhead, 60 DU 5:02 95lbs - Row 500m FT 1:42. Went out way too slow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkusO Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Sounds good! I'm doing them without weight right now, gives a good stretch. Might add some weight later on and see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissDanny Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Sounds good! I'm doing them without weight right now, gives a good stretch. Might add some weight later on and see how it goes. Try with a weight that doesn't require much effort but is heavy enough to force a bit of bracing, l find it amplifies the sensations I'm after. Like for Jefferson curl, doing them empty is basically a different exercise. See which you prefer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon.valentine Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I know those feels, sometimes just getting to the gym is a win let alone accomplishing anything while you're there. But the more consistent you are the more chances you have of having an awesome session. (Or as Dan John says, "They can't all be gems.") 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmet Louis Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Get a stack of panel mats and adjust the height of them for your strength also make sure you do them chest to wall and not back to wall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I have absolutely no feeling of leverage or tension to press up for the HSPU bottom. Still looking for the right way to develop this... progressive RoM perhaps. I had this problem too. Telling myself "stop being such a goddamn weenie and push like you're actually trying" worked well enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissDanny Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Ha ha. SwissWeenie.... LoL. But this isn't Reddit... But seriously it's not like grinding out a squat it's like a deadlift that won't come off the floor. Just pinned down... I think the progressive increase in RoM with Emmets suggestion to face wall (presumably to help keep hollow) is the way to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the progressive increase in RoM with Emmets suggestion to face wall (presumably to help keep hollow) is the way to go... I didn't mean to imply you were a weenie, just sharing what worked for me. It's literally what I told myself, and it helped me get over that feeling of having no leverage. Of course Emmet knows a lot more and better than I do, but it's something to keep in mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
