24 kg KB Press, 5x5,32 kg Belt squat, floor pushups., leopard crawls,rear delts



Chose to do kb presses instead of barbell and found although they went fine I don't like them as much as I do the barbell version. Although each arm still has it's own idiosyncracies the overhead position and lockout are much better with the KB than before. And the bell felt very light and moved fast but I still think I prefer to train the barbell press and will go back to it next week,

It certainly has it's own issues  but I think the locked in position the bar puts me in is better, in the long term, for my shoulders and scapular/humeral rhythm. It was good to be able to do it again, though

KB press
16 kg x 5/5 x 2
20 kg x 5/5
24 kg x 5/5 x 5

32 Kg belt squat

Crossing a line ruck

It seems my legs have crossed a line, of late. A good one. Now, even my slow days are faster than  they've ever been and my fast days are much faster. My legs seem loose now as soon as I start to ruck; and even if they aren't perfect, they loosen up much faster than before.

I recognize this from my running days, even so long ago.It's called, getting your legs in shape. My lungs still take time to "open up" by even that is faster. But the heavy tight leg feel that I used to have so often is now noticeable absent or diminished.

Heavy day yesterday too and usually that really slows me down but not today. Takes forever to get in decent shape but it's so cool when you're finally there. Or at least close enough to feel it

47 lb ruck
12 laps
1 hr 55 min
10 iso squats
4th lap 8:08
8th lap 7:58
12th lap 7:43

pack weight goes up 2 lbs next week. lets see how that goes. Nice crisp morning out and that always helps. The heat adaptation is kicking in much more slowly this year. One thing at a time I guess.

On this Memorial Day, remembering those who gave all to keep us safe and free

48 kg One Arm swings ( 3rd time) 200 reps, barbell hacks, sandbag pushups, side delts/curls



Ok got through this. It was hard as I expected but I was prepared. And the first five sets were the strongest and fastest ever. Then I started running out of gas and the the sets were still ok but not as strong and powerful as the first five.

But, the first set felt absolutely strong and my wind was better than ever. Not sure I had enough food yesterday but  it could just be this thing is heavy and I was swinging harder than ever.

Had good mental prep yesterday, good sleep and hydration. I focused on seeing the bell move fast in my head as well as not being winded at the end. Did pretty well. Did not go back and look at old attempts of this weight as I usually do. I wanted to see them even stronger in my head ;)

One arm swings
16 kg x 5/5 x 2
20 kg x 5/5
24 kg x 5/5
28 kg x 5/5
32 kg x 4/4
40 kg x 4/4
48 kg x 10/10 x 10 !
200 reps
21,200 lbs

Interesting. Tracy commenting upon seeing this video that it 'looked like a 'lift' as much as a swing' and she's right. That's the best part for me. this is like the best of powerlifting with the bell and not the downsides.

This is Strength Speed work; taking a heavy load and trying to move it as fast as possible making it as light as possible.. As opposed to Speed Strength work, taking a light load and trying to maximize force by keeping the speed as high as possible Both maximize acceleration for force on the body  but in different ways.



Barbell hacks
65 x 10
85 x 8
95 x8
115 x 8 x 2

used the heels up on 1/2 inch plates , made sure to create and keep foot torque during each rep and let myself lean over more than usual. ALL worked great and I was deep with no right knee pain but great quad pain :0

Horiz bar pushups
BW x 12
32 lb sandbag x 12 x 3 sets

solid,elbows in and left elbow felt great

Side delt/curls
15 lb x 12 x 3 sets
same for curls but 8 reps

ok lived to fight another day. this was a very good workout, especially since it's the 4th time we've done this and it's stronger and more powerful each time. AND conditioning is better too. Definitely on the right trend line

big ruck tomorrow. missed last week so this should be interesting

Freaking beat up after this weekend. Construction all week, a houseguest!,then travel to Seattle, teach all day and come home not getting enough water or sleep and I was rode hard and put up wet this workout.
But I got it done.
Strength wasn't too bad but I was beat tired, still had headache from dehydration so endurance sucked. Didn't push it at all but feel much more  back on track alread

Not too much focus into this but I knew I didn't want more than 3 reps.. all things considered this moved well and I definitely had 4 reps in me per set

Kb Press

This went great! Surprisingly well. Five's are SO much easier than 10's it's not funny. Especially after weeks of 10/10's which is the idea. But doing just fives really lets us hyper focus on power out put with NO holding back.

Freakin' fast ruck! All time lap Pr



I have no idea where this came from. Drank too much wine last night, went to bed too late, didn't sleep well and didn't even know if I was going to ruck or just get more rest. Felt ok so I went out ( tracy is with our out of town friend) alone.
Right away I knew something was up as I actually felt good. Legs felt light and loose .It didn't hurt either that  the weather was 25 degrees cooler than yesterday!

24 kg Speed swings 15 min, BW walking lunges,parallel bar pushups, side delt

TOUGH one today. Been tired for the last few days as the heat lamp goes on in California. Definitely not heat adapted yet and the start is always the worst part. Not having a real kitchen as things get remodeled is 'interesting' too and not sure I'm getting enough calories. Weights not dropping too fast but I don't like this fatigue.

Dropped the ZMA and substituted just the magnesium and that doesn't seem to have helped.that last batch of powder that had the 5-htp didn't work at all so I'm awaiting just pure powdered zma

I'm taking all the same ingredients but not at the same time, hard to believe it would work that well BUT proof of the pudding is in the eating

So this was TOUGH. Just a slog from start to finish but I finished stronger than I started.

120 lb Military press 5x5,24 kg KB press, 44 kg belt squat, floor pushups,crawls, rear delts



So I took my grip out to medium grip and things ended up just the same, but with a wider grip! Same offset in the elbows. The lift seemed easier with this width but I'm not sure it's any better on my shoulders or elbows in the long run.
But I'm not sure it's bad either, given the fact I haven't felt pain in the shoulders elbows or back after these workouts for the last year or so.
Confusing as to what to do.
Plus I did a few sets of kb press after wards and they felt great. seriously strong and easy and my overhead was nice.
Weird
Is it from the barbell presses or the bodymaintenance work is paying off?
Not sure.
The barbell has definitely made my press stronger, that's for sure, just from the sheer load of it BUT even 140 lbs on the bar is just a 32 kg in each hand.

Was hoping for an answer today. did not get it. more thinking to be done

Military press
stick x 5 x 1
bar x 5
65 x 5
85 x 4

 Fifth set


about the same as the first

KB press
16 kg x 5/5
24 kg x 2/2 x 2


These felt strong and good but not sure if it's not because of the barbell work :)

44 kg Belt squats ( on plates)
4 sets of 12

set the foot torque on each set and MAN what a difference! right knee pain is totally gone and the whole of the foot is nailed to the floor like it never has been before. About time I took my own advice.

Yes! this is finally feeling fresh again

Surprisingly fast ruck

 The Man, Ed Bugarin.

Did not expect the walk so go so well this morning. Didn't seem to have enough water yesterday and woke up  a little tight in the lower back. Also yesterday the power was up big time and that might have had something to do with it
But I didn't think it would be that easy and actually thought I wouldn't even time any laps, just take an easy one but my OCD got the best of me

50 lb ruck
12 laps
10 iso squats
1 hr 54 min !
4th lap 7;56
8th lap 7;43
11th lap 7:39

this is without a doubt the three fastest times together. I thought the first lap time was going to be 8:15! shows you how bad proprioception and perceived exertion can be at times

But the pack felt light and both Tracy and I were flying around the track! Wind was solid and legs felt loose. back was fine after I stretched a bit

40 kg One Arm Swings,Kickstand squats,horiz pushups,side delts/curls



Good one today but hard. It wasn't heavy as much as the volume just hurt. The key is not doing the work but REALLY trying to make every rep as powerful as possible. It's good that what gives out are my legs.I'm just trying hard to push through the floor as strong as possible on each and every rep and after rep five on the second arm there is no air so it's extra hard, lol

But it got done, and that's what counts, And all the reps were strong, it just hurt .

One arm swings
16 kg x 5/5 x 2
20 kg x 5/5
24 kg x 5/5
28 kg x 5/5
32 kg x 5/5
40 kg x 10/10 x 10 sets
200 reps
17,600 lbs

It's the same workload every week on these weights but the intent and focus is try to to maximize power more and more and that changes the workload from week to week. A natural variation wave loading.

Kick stand squats
2 sets of 10/10 bw
2 sets 10/10 32 lb sandbag across shoulders

these were good without the bag. with it VERY good. Just make sure I don't go heavier but focus more on mobility and ROM

Horiz pushups

shoulder/elbow much better. pushup finally feeling stronger again for reps. That peak took more out of me than expected it seems

Caffeinated Ruck

Definitely got the coffee schedule down right today and for the future I'm betting.Since I fast in the mornings til about 9 am when I have a handful of almonds I am usually heading into the worked pretty damn fasted. If I have a third cup of coffee in the morning it's usually been around 7 which helps me not for the workout

Last two days I waited until ten to have another black coffee THEN some almonds and I'm still feeling good at 1 pm for the workout. This may work well. Any later is too late but this may work well. Plus I'm sure I will eat less almonds as well.

Glenn had to miss last weeks 20 minutes and wanted to do it today so I did it with him.First time ever doing it back to back weeks and it was no problem at all. Well,not NO problem, as the last 10 sets were just, well, fatiguing  but I ground through it strongly.

115 Lb Military press 6x6, 40 kg belt squat, floor pushups,crawls, side delts



After watching my press from the front for the second week and trying to "square it up" by tweaking this or that I'm not sure that I should be doing this move anymore. It's probably because of my scoliosis and even though it doesn't hurt, and I actually feel better ( shoulders and back ) after training it I'm not sure I'm not compensating too much just to do the lift.

Try as I might I could not keep my left elbow under me and that got me to thinking whether it's my left elbow that's flaring too much or my right arm that's not in position. Both shoulders were FUBAR from all these years but it's the right one that was dislocated and ended my gymnastics.

The only think left to try it to take both arms out wider until the flare on the right matches the flare on the left and see if I can even press that way. It's probably mid grip( which used to be a very strong bench press position for me).I'll play with it this week a bit but I have to be prepared to stop pressing overhead :-(

Then I have to decide which move will be number one on Tuesdays? Perhaps cleans? 2 kb front squats? Not sure. Ring dips? Ack

36 kg One Arm Swings,goblet squats, sandbag pushups, side delts, rear delts curls



It's freaky to imagine I can now throw around the 36 kg like I did the 24 not too long ago. Now the focus is trying to maintain max power on each and every rep of the 200 reps in the workout. Getting close.
Wind was good today and form felt spot on. Let myself lean over a little more than usual to get a slightly bigger back swing, and it felt really smooth and fast. Faster than normal too.I remember when I first started down this heavy one arm swing road the 36 kg killed my grip after THREE reps!!!
Now, no problem at all

20 Min 24 kg Speed swings, sandbag lunges, parallel bar pushups, side and rear delts, cable curls



Shockingly strong set today. Have to admit I was a bit worried about this. Seems like I haven't done it in longer than usual and I was solo today. I knew it would get done, just didn't know how much it would suck.

Turns out not much at all.

Hot out too so I set up the fan and that always helps. Moving air beats stale old garage air any day, even it it's hot.
Since I couldn't go off of Glenn's lead I had to watch the clock too, something I usually hate to do and can mess with my head. No problem today

really had a good groove early and went to double breathing around 8 minutes in. that helped a lot too.

Walking lunges/sandbag 32 lbs
4 laps of 20 steps with on shoulder farmers carry back

these went very well too and I decided to use power breathing on the descent and that made it much stronger in the bottom .Kept shoulders straight,no rotation. this also helped balance

Parallel bar pushups
3 x 25
1 x 18

these are still taking their time coming back. shows me what a true max effort can take out of you, even in a pushup. big difference between a no psych max and some adrenaline in the mix

105 lb Military Press, 36 kg belt squat, floor pushups, crawls, side/rear delts



This was interesting. Glenn is out of town so it was a perfect time for the de load. I also took the video from the front and got some very important data
The first sets I taped I saw my left arm/elbow much more out to the side than my right! Like 20 degrees more. That was shocking and could definitely explain my left tricep, front delt weirdness. BUT, is the pain causing the elbow out or the elbow out causing the pain?

Personally I think it's my scoliosis that sets all of this up. On the third sets I tucked the elbow in but it looked basically the same on tape. Then, I moved my grip IN an inch, An offset grip. Bingo! As even as in the above set. Not perfect but way better.

And neither the shoulder nor triceps twinged at all either after I did that.
Got to look at the movement from all angle. Big mistake on my part, I should have done that much earlier.

No wonder the tricep and shoulder didn't like that position. It had no real support under it! This way the arm gets the needed support from the ribcage and lat.

But from a workload perspective this was very strong 6x6 was no problem at all work wise. and that's good. Next week 115 for 6x6 and see how that goes

Surprisingly good ruck today. Vertigo is completely gone thank goodness. Not sure if it was Joe's acupuncture magic or just luck but that shit is no joke. It basically paralyzes you, especially when it's full bore.

It's so good to feel good.
Tracy's schedule changed so I will be rucking by myself for the near future. As much as I enjoy her company I also enjoy doing cardio stuff like this by myself. Always have. I can completely go at my own pace and get lost in my thoughts.

Legs felt loose right from the start, always good sign. I started off slow because I have to but then it seemed my pace was picking up by itself. It seems to work best this way, when my legs are ready to go fast they do. when I push it they just get tight and slow.

Took my heart rate too per lap and it was about 130 the entire time except for after the last lap when it went to 140. That's a good pace for 2 hours straight.

50 lb Ruck
12 laps
1:52 min!
10 isometric squat holds
5th lap 8:12
9th lap  7:56
12th lap 7:32!! PR

that is the fastest yet, breaking 7:34. Boy that came out of nowhere, too. I've felt slower than ever of late.Pack felt light too. I adjusted the carry position a bit, letting it hang lower than normal and it seems to help keep my center of mass lower and my torso more upright
Perfect weather too, warm but with a cool breeze and the clean crisp morning air. Love it

Military press tomorrow for 115 for 6 sets of 6. Will bump the volume a bit here before my next assault on 135 :)
Also  two kettlebell front squats will sub for belt squats. I think I'm ready for these again.
