**CONDITIONING**
“Lost In Translation”
As many rounds as possible in 12 minutes of
* 3 axle clean each rep and push press of 136lbs
* 7 burpee chins (they’re back baby!)
Got through 6 rounds, and 2 burpees into the 7th before time ran out
Notes:
* First thing into the workout my tricep/shoulder was feeling tight, but it warmed up quick. I played it safe on the topset and just went for a strong and solid rep vs grinding it out.
* Cleaning each rep was a pleasant surprise for the supplemental, but I had it in me today. Conditioning is really in a good way, and I had some solid pop on the cleans. I imagine all the time with “Lost in Translation” has paid off there.
* The Poundstone curls were like a full body workout today. I was dying.
* Being able to bring back burpee chins was a huge morale victory. I can’t quite fly through them, but I can get them done, and that’s huge for my healing. And in that regard, the bruise is getting gnarly. Really spreading and discoloring now. Took a long time to present.
* It’s the hottest day of the year so far. Garage was like a blast furnace.
PM WORKOUT
24 ABCs in 5 minutes w/24kg bells
Notes:
* Just did a straight 5 minute shot. Got a PR of 14 unbroken ABCs and held on from there. The heat just makes these gnarly. Prowler all loaded up and ready to go for "Last Call for Litvinol"
Hey MythicalStrength, you've spoken about MAS Wrestling before and how you think it's ruining Strongman Competitions. Are you not a fan because of all the awkward twisting/turning that could potentially lead to injury and the fact that it's such a specific skill to prep for rather than a brute force thing?
ReplyDeleteI feel like having a combat sport in the middle of a strongman competiton makes as much sense as a game of horse in the middle of a boxing match
DeleteIs another sport like tug-of-war a combat sport to you?
DeleteNegative. Being another sport does not make a sport a combat sport. Being a sport based around combat (like wrestling) makes a combat sport a combat sport.
DeleteI guess I don't understand how MAS Wrestling is a combat sport.(though I see MAS organizations call the sport a "non-contact" combat sport) oh well. Don't want to take up too much of your time. Thanks for sharing your thoughts MythicalStrength.
DeleteAlways happy to share dude. If you ever want to discuss how Mas wrestling is a combat sport, I will be happy to lend my perspective
