There Will Be Sweat

Probably some blood too. No tears though. Never tears.

Explosive Strength Training

Warmed up with some light DB Snatches and DB Swings, then went to work:

  • Thrusters
    • 5 x 3 x 95lb
  • Barbell Punch Press
    • 5 x 3/side x 75lb
  • Complex Pair - repeat 4x
    • Side-to-side Pullups x 4/side
    • Explosive Pullups x 8
    • DB Lunges x 4/side x 60lb
    • Lunge Jumps x 8
  • Finisher: DB Swings
    • 3 x 15 x 75lb

Total time: 45 min. I had to scale back the weight on the thrusters because I couldn’t get the movement connected and explosive when I went heavy. The transition from the front squat portion of the thruster to the overhead press is a lot easier with light weight because my wrists can hande the weight. I need to work on this before going heavier. Everything else was alright, but I was pooped today.
