Each round, add a rep. After 5 reps per round, start over at one.
Made it through 2 full ladders and through rep 2 of the third ladder
20 standing ab wheels
50 pull aparts
25 pushdowns
25 band curls
Notes:
Another one of those “came up on the spot” workouts. Big theme is I’m saving my leg flexion stuff for Super Squats, so all my conditioning stuff is swing, clean and snatch focused. Also helps get me hip hinge in place of squat. That said, my elbows are giving me playful reminders of what happens whenever I go too heavy into KBs, and pairing that with high rep squats tends to really get them pissed off, so I’ll need to watch that. The tricep tear still hurts, but it’s getting better, and being able to hit burpee chins is a huge victory.
Got the day off work, so going to be doing some general activity cleaning up the house and will most likely get in one more short conditioning workout.
Have you ever used elbow sleeves? My elbows normally hold up pretty well but when I start pushing pullups and push volume the get sore. Sleeves definitely provide a bit of help, in that regard, for me
You know it dude! It keeps you honest. I didn’t even have a plan for ladders when I started, but I could tell I was taking too much time per round as the reps kept up. Dropping to singles and working back up had me moving quick again.
TABEARTA, but going for 4 complexes per round instead of 3. I got through 7 of 8 that way and totally blew my lungs out. I know what the next evolution is now.
Upon unloaded, I realized that was the same weight as last time. Got pretty upset about that.

Notes:
This was monumentally stupid, but so was misleading the bar in the first place, so that’s the consequence.
But man, you wanna talk “more trouble than I’m worth”? How about coming back for another round of Super Squats? This is going to be a VERY anabolic weekend.
In that regard, I need to chill out on the KBs for a few days just to let my connective tissue restore.
The press is a PR as well, as far as recent results go. I’m just in a great spot right now. Primed to grow, and growing. Still feeling a little under the weather, but it’s not RSV, so I can breathe.
Tang Soo Do tonight, and probably some burpees where I can fit them in.
Thanks man. I was SO mad at myself for coming up with the idea to do the other set, but also knew I’d spend the whole weekend pissed off at myself for the screw up, haha.
Alright, so I thought this day wasn’t going to get much better (along with double Super Squats I found my long lost NEVERsate hoodie), but I just found out today that I won’t be moving this summer.
Which means, I most likely won’t be moving for the foreseeable future.
For the first time in 15 years, my family can lay down some roots. We are over the moon. This also means my home gym can become even more ridiculous, so watch for that. I also cannot wait to full stock my freezer with some piedmontese knowing I won’t run the risk of “overstocking” it.
lol I just logged my mistake misleading the bar with 70 kg for my BP instead of a massive 72,5, and then going for an additional set to make up for my mistake, wondering if it would have been better just leave it.
@atlas13 Hell yeah dude! You absolutely get where I am coming from. So happy to be able to set down some roots. And maybe in the not so distant future I can become a plain ol’ cornfed motherf**ker, haha.
Slept off and on until 0630 and then it was a “getting after it” kinda day, so I did 3 tabata workouts throughout the day.
First one was a fasted workout where I got in 20 seconds of burpee chins with a bear complex in the 10 seconds between rounds. Went for 4 per round for as long as I could.
Second one was classic TABEARTA post lunch. Trying for 4 complexes per round every time now. I got through 4 rounds that way, then 4 with 3s. It’s amazing how slow 3 feels now.
Final was 40kg KB swings and 2 burpee chins during the 10 seconds downtime. It was pretty miserable.
Forearms are touch and go. Right tricep doesn’t like me, but the feeling is mutual.
Took my kid out to Golden Corral to celebrate us staying here, and then, after their sports tournament today, they wanted to go to our favorite local BBQ place. It was a good weekend to have done a double Super Squats workout on Friday.
@cyclonengineer I hit 200lbs 18 years ago, haha. Just need a few more years and I can be there again.
Slept off and on until 0630, got up and got in 40 burpees over bar fasted, ran around with hair on fire all morning, crushed this workout in the PM before cooking an amazing dinner
That’s Axle Grace in 2:09 for a 5 second PR followed by TABEARTA followed by 14 ABCs in 5 minutes w/24kg bells.
Really digging these workouts that are basically “Hit a PR and then hold on like you’re riding a bull”. Tests all sorts of different qualities.
To say nothing of the fact I did Double Super Squats on Friday. I am a goddamn maniac. You are all in trouble.
@Chris_Shugart I just wanted to brag about me repping the brand with my madness, haha.
