Pendlay Rows

Tuesday, September 20, 2016

Coach Jonathon

1:30 PM

Warm Up

Got there early for body composition screening (19.9%, I think she measured low).  Did some foam rolling and pointed toes lunges.  I could not do toe in the air lunges.

Bench Press

10-8-6-4

Having just benched yesterday, I was a little leery, but still managed 95#, 135#, 145#, 155#

Pendlay Rows

10-8-6-4

Jonathon coached this with a little knee drive and did not emphasize the flat back.  The movement could best be described as a cheater upper back row.  I set up from the floor and did explode it into my sternum.  I did sets at 95#, 115#, 135# and 155#

Finished with some handstand technique work that went really poorly.

Surovetsky (Surovekskey) Deadlift

Wednesday, September 14, 2016

Oracle Gym

11:45 AM

Warm Up

Sampson stretches, 30-20-30, Good mornings/jump rope couplet

Deadlift

Warm up with 45#, 95#, 135# then

5x5@185# E3OM

This felt pretty good and is designed based on 70% of my 275# 1RM

Thrusters

Warm up with 45#, 65#, 95# (95# was too heavy)

5x5@75#

This felt pretty good.  I was most focused on hip extension and resting at the top of the movement.

Finished with mobility - wall squat, couch stretch

Surovetsky (Surovekskey) Deadlift Program

I am starting a deadlift cycle and based on a quick Google search, I feel comfortable with the 9 week Surovekskey program.  It is designed for deadlifting 2X/week, and for a given rep cycle sets loads based on your 1RM prior to starting.  I have put up 315# before, but opted to start with a more recent max of 275#.

Cleans - Jerks

Tuesday, September 13, 2016

Coach Jonathon

(1:30 PM) with Sameer, Geoff, and Fabby

Warm Up

Foam rolling pass throughs, air squats, arm circles, arm twists, side lunges, squat manipulating knees

Clean

5-4-3-2-1

I warmed up with the bar and then did sets at 95#, 105#, 115#, 125# and 135#.  These felt good.  I want to focus on hip extension followed by pulling.

Jerk

3-3-2-1

I jumped right in doing sets at 75#, 95#, 105# and 115#.  These felt lousy and I kept hearing the queue to get the back toe in.  My back toe was flaring out which was opening my hips.  With heavier weight, this could have been ugly.

As there were 4 of us using the same bar, this took the full hour.  After class I spent 30 minutes doing some of the stuff we missed from the

4 rounds of
10 pike to tuck sit-ups
10 Alt Russian Twists
10 Wall Squat
10 Alt dumbbell snatch

Instead I did 5 rounds of handstand kick-ups/holds and 3 rounds of 10 wall squats.

I followed this with

Alt DB Snatch

6@25#
6@35#
6@40#
4@45#
4@50#

These felt great, but I worry that my lats will feel it tomorrow.
