AM
Strength
5 rounds (4min. rest between rounds):
- 205# Bench (max reps)
- BW Pullup (max reps)
1: 6 bench, 11 pullups
2: 7 bench, 10 pullups
3: 6 bench, 10 pullups
4: 5 bench, 9 pullups
5: 4 bench, 7 pullups
Total: 28 bench @ 205#, 47 pullups
45# BB Turkish Getup x 1/1, 1/1, 1/1 (Total= 3 each arm)
Note: Routine stolen from crossfit. Although I think I need to work on bench and pullup strength independently, I felt that it made the workout much more intense (met con) supersetting them together. Turkish getups are VERY hard with a barbell, but worth the effort as its very hard to keep the bar from 'helicoptering' in circles. Can't wait to start working these harder and put up more and more weight. Seems very functional for jiu jitsu.
Notes 2: Buying some rings soon. Yay! Also stretched during my lunch. Now to sit through 5 hours of parent teacher conferences... with a massive black eye.
Notes 3: Considering starting a black box me approach for this last month before the tournament. Instead of doing all GPP, I will be working on 3 day rotations of single movement HIIT (running, rowing, etc.), ME lifting day, and a high Metcon day with rest of the 4th. We'll have to see how this coincides with teaching and jiu-jitsu.
