Wednesday: Rest

Doing a strength day tomorrow so don't want to fatigue the muscles too much with a weighted conditioning workout... abs are sore as hell (were fine yesterday but the burpees and functional use - like sitting up with DBs and bars - brought out the effects of that little circuit from Mon) & tri's are a tiny bit sore. All that ads up to making everything with upper body or core pretty difficult (from pull ups and push ups to deadlifts and TGUs). Jesus, abs/core muscles are involved in EVERYTHING. This is where I would normally take a rest day if I were on a normal 4-5 day a week regiment. Gotta save the core bones for another good session on Friday.

(those strike-throughs reflect a lack of time in my schedule more than anything else)

TOMORROW: Strength (Clean and Press and Deadlift and Rows?) + some sort of conditioning circuit with SDLHP and Swings?
FRIDAY: Intervals/Conditioning (below) + Core (TGUs, maybe FCTs)

Either this work out:
  • Run 200m
  • 10 jumping lunges
  • 6x for time
or something with rope, other jumps or air squats.

WEEKEND WORK THIS WEEK IS A MUST

--------------------------------
UPDATE:
Awwww would ya look at this ... not but a few min after publishing this original post I see the following workout on CFV's Heavy Metal:

5 rounds:
1 min Box Jumps, 24″
1 min Sumo Deadlift High Pulls, 95lbs
1 min Kettlebell Swings, 32kg
1 min rest

Score is total reps.

Perfect. Will do Thurs if box jumps are possible after deadlifting... otherwise over weekend maybe.
