W5 D3 Extra Credit Conditioning

I have an all day family trip to the amusement park tomorrow. Leaving first thing the in morning and wont be back until night. Added this workout in to make up for missing tomorrow. May do something quick like this again tomorrow when i get home if I am not too whooped. Or maybe squeeze in Humane Burpees from Dan John before leaving to just get some blood going.

From Greyskull…

50 Sandbag burpees wirh 50lb bag

Time: 7:13

This was tough but manageable. 25 in and grip and lungs were going .

W5D4 Conditioning Day

Had to get something quick in this morning. Greyskull workouts are perfect for those

5 hanging leg raises

Max rounds in 7 minutes

Not too hard. Worked well for me rolling out of bed with minimum warm up.

Nice! Very similar to my preferred current strength set up. I do:

  • Barbell work of one lift (5’s pro or some similar progression) + jumps/throws
  • Weight vest circuit of 5 rounds (pull, push, lower)
    -100 reps of something (shrugs+FW’s, reverse curls, etc…)

Total time ~45 minutes (not counting warm up)

Yeah I did the weight vest to help give my back time but I am really digging it. Hopefully someday soon I will be able to add barbell back in but I think Ill keep the WALRUS circuits regardless.

W5D6 Burpee Extra Credit

100 6 count burpees

Wife and I did this together. Done in 7:50. I honestly feel like I need to slow down a touch. Id like this time consistantly closer to 10m.

Uh oh, another one bites the burpee dust. It’s funny you mention you should slow down a touch, because my times are a bit slower than others here. I don’t dilly dally, but don’t race. One thing I come back to (from all my Jim Wendler, Pavel, and Dan John readings) is that we are “training” and not “testing”. I try to keep that mentality and put in a solid effort at a reasonable pace, but don’t try to set any speed records for my daily work.

I agree. Wendlers books are my first real insight to actual training. I strongly believe you should “train” and sometimes test. For me personally it does 2 things

  1. Sub maximal training doest beat me down physically.
  2. Mentally, i couldn’t go 110% everyday. These burpees for example. If i went balls out i wouldn’t mentally be able to get myself to do it every day.

Maybe after a month ill try the greyskull vc1 as a test. Its 100 burpeed in 5 minutes.

I bet, collectively, we’ve done more burpees on these training logs in the last month than the entire life of this site up until then. Actually, I bet it’s not even close.

1 minute Jump Rope
30s 1-arm KB thrusters

Finished off with quick 30s waiter walks. Trying to do a little bit of stabilizing work each day to see if that helps with the low back later on.
