Hi everyone,
Kicking back into training after a period of taking it relatively easy. I’ve signed up on a whim for a Hyrox at the end of March, partially so I could get a decent tinder photo! The goal is to increase conditioning alongside increasing strength.
To kick things off, I’m running the Tactical Barbell Operator training program – inspired by @MythicalStrength.
Monday:
Safety bar squats: ~100 kg × 3 × 5
Overhead press: 52.5 kg × 3 × 5
Deadlift: 100 kg (2 × 20 kg plates) × 20 reps
Finished with curls
Tuesday:
5K run in ~30 minutes
Wednesday:
5K run in ~27 minutes
Thursday (back at the gym): Week 1, Day 2 of Operator
Safety bar squats: 102.5 kg × 3 × 5, superset with:
Overhead press: 55 kg × 3 × 5, superset with:
Weighted chin-ups: 30 kg × 3 × 3
Deadlift: 100 kg (15 kg plate) × 20 reps – lower back pretty taxed afterward
Finished with pump work for arms.
That’s all for now. At the moment weight is roughly 86kg. Ive a bit of leaning up to do before comp, but its never an issue once I start to kick up the conditioning. Looking forward to engaging with everyone on here.
