My new Oly shoes are H.O.T.
**17 hour fast**
Sweet flying Jesus, am I sore. My lats are killing me. Kipping is hard work.
Repeating a workout from mid-July, press for sets of 2.
Warm-up
- 10 w/ PVC
- 5 @45#
- 1 @55#
Press 3×2
- 2@65#
- 1/1(F) @ 65#
- 2 @ 65#
- 1/1(F) @ 65#
I have just come to accept that shoulder progressions are slow going. However, my 1RM is 65#, so I got that up twice today. I think next time out, I’m going for 70#.
Skill work:
Split jerks and ring dips
- SJ 5 @45#
- 7 ring dips (band assisted)
- SJ 5 @ 55#
- 7 ring dips
- SJ 5 @ 60#
- 7 ring dips
So I’ve worked split jerks maybe once before… I’m super inconsistent with form, which is why I’m not putting weight up yet. I need to watch some videos and read some tutorials. I suspect I’m not lunging enough in my landing, and I think my feet are too close together – I need a bit of a wider stance to gain some stability.
I will be practicing these a LOT more, as my shoes make a loud noise when I land and split jerks make me feel bad-ass.
Also, for Vanessa… here’s a pic of my new Oly shoes. Told you. H.O.T.
