SLSC is open under Illinois’s Phase 5 guidelines. Check out our response to Covid-19 here.

Workout of the Day

FITNESS
A1. Bench press
4×4; 21×1 tempo; Building; Rest 60-90s
A2. Pendlay rows
4×4; 21×1 tempo; Building; Rest 60-90s

Training notes:
-The rest between supersets should allow recovery to go heavy on all sets, but there may be some accumulated fatigue.
-Pause one count on the chest in bench press and one count on the ground in Pendlay row. This will make each of these lifts a bit more of a “grind” than if there were no pause.
-Last time we did sets of 5. Go slightly heavier for sets of 4 than for sets of 5.

Record top weight lifted for each movement – and record all weights used in training notes.

B. For time:
12-9-6-3 DB strict presses (tough)
5-10-15-20 row/bike calories
12-9-6-3 renegade rows (per arm)
5-10-15-20 row/bike calories
*15 minute cap

Training notes:
-DB strict presses should be tough enough that you break up the set of 12.
-For renegade rows, do 12 per arm, 9 per arm, etc.
-The cyclical piece should be fast but should allow some recovery between the muscle endurance of the dumbbells.

Record total time and record fractioning strategy in training notes.

PERFORMANCE

-Pause one count on the chest in bench press and one count on the ground in Pendlay row. This will make each of these lifts a bit more of a “grind” than if there were no pause.
-Last time, we did sets of 3. Use your weight from this as a guideline for what to shoot for with sets of 1.

Record top weight lifted for each movement – and record all weights used in training notes.

B. For time:
12-9-6-3 strict handstand push-ups (3” deficit)
5-10-15-20 row/bike calories
12-9-6-3 strict chest-to-bar pull-ups
5-10-15-20 row/bike calories
*15 minute cap

Training notes:
-The longer cyclical pieces between the strict gymnastics movements should give you longer to recover as fatigue accumulates.
-Have a plan for fractioning early.
-For scaling movements: you should be able to do the set of 12 unbroken of whatever movements you do – although it may be wise to choose not to do it that way.

Record total time and record fractioning strategy in training notes.
