Workout of the Week

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Refer to last week’s video for reference. Record your time and loads. Rowing intervals are to be completed on a Concept II (or similar) rowing machine. If you don’t have access to a rowing machine substitute in a SumoDeadliftHighPull at a ratio of 10m per SDHP. All jerk numbers are per arm.

Advanced kettlebell/gs lifters, double your jerk numbers.
10 kb jerks
1000m row
20 jerks
800m row
30 jerks
600m row
40 jerks
400m row
50 jerks
200m row

Workout of the Week

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

4 rounds of the following

500m row
10 pullups
400m sprint
20 pushups
If you don’t have a rowing machine, substitute in 50 SumoDeadliftHighPulls at 45# for men and 30# for women. If you need to sub in assisted pullups, then do it, but only enough to just get through. Unlike some of the other workouts, this one is all about speed. I’m looking for an all out sprint for the entire time. Record your time and any accommodations you have to make.
Now MOVE!

Start with your non-dominant side.
Press to failure. Do not put the load down.
Immediately push press to failure. Do not put the load down.
Immediately jerk to failure.
Switch hands without resting the load on the ground.
Repeat on the dominant side.
Rest 2 minutes.
Repeat cycle two more times. Record load and reps for each set.
