Took a rest day yesterday except for running a Boot Camp in the morning. Not super heavy but I could feel the Boot Camp workout and decided I needed to rest. Today the body still did not feel 100% but good enough to push through.
Strength:
1: Clean Barbell Cycling: 4 minutes of:
-Position work with an empty barbell.
*For this new movement, take an empty barbell and for 4 minutes, just work positions with the mindset of slow is smooth, smooth is fast. For example, go from you start position, to below the knee, to the hang/above the knee, to mid-thigh, to down, to finish, to muscle clean, to front squat, to Sots press, stand, high hang, down, then repeat in any order or fashion. There is a difference in going through the motions, versus feeling the positions. “Feel” each position for at least 1 full second before moving to the next.
2: Muscle clean – Work up to a max single for the day.
NOTE:It’s in this movements especially I realize how far one has to go. Only got up to 90kg on this. Just keep on grinding and it will come!
3: Power clean + clean and jerk: 10 rounds – every 2 minutes, complete:-1x power clean + 1x clean and split jerk (Work up to a max for the day. No misses so keep it light, fast and crisp).
NOTE:For this one, I did an EMOM for 20 minutes and set the weight at a light 50kg to get more practice on this movement.
Work Capacity:
Every 90 seconds, perform:
-10x single leg squats, alternating.NOTE:Used green band to pull this one off.
-10x hang power clean (135#/95#)
-max rep strict pull-up

Nicely done
I've been taking on your approach in regards to training. I'm sore as hell!

This approach is suiting u well!

Been resting for two days as India celebrated independence day yesterday and things were in general closed and time with family felt more important! This rest did me real well though as today's leg day was fairly intense. I was able to rep 309lb (140kg) while doing back squats. My max has gone up to 160kg (~350lb). Super stoked about leg development right now. Just like GGR said, this training seems to work very well for me and I feel very excited about going there every single day.

i need some help with front squats. my wrist cannot take bending like that, it hurts on regular back squats.
i saw someone using some straps in a youtube channel and also the crossed arms, so may have to try that. the current gym does not have a squat rack so i am currently cleaning the weight to my chest and going from there. gym does have a smith machine but don't think front squats can be done on it.
suggestions?
-
I had this problem before I saw that PT guy who got me sorted out. I use a pretty wide "grip" which has helped. Before that I did just what you said, literally put in on my shoulders with arms just crossed. I have also started stretching my wrists in both the morning and in the evening. It has taken some time but I am starting to loosen up a bit.
-
Fell a bit behind today so I spent 10-15 minutes working on Snatch using just a barbell and then added 10kg of weight. The form is still extremely poor but just keep grinding it. Loved the work capacity as it involved jumping on a 40in (101.6cm) box.

Complete 3 rounds for max reps:
-30 seconds hang squat snatch (60% 1 RM snatch)
-60 seconds rest

STRENGTH:
1: Clean complex: 10 rounds- Every 2 minutes, complete:

Woke up at 5am after almost no sleep at all today heading down to another part of the city to run a Police Boot Camp. That ended up being my only training for today as I simply could not move almost.

Another day another workout. Legs are so heavily worked on right now that it will blow my mind if my 1RM have no gone up testing it next week. I still have not been able to wrap my head around the fact that this is something I should have done years ago regarding training. I stop by Marcus300 HIT thread from time to time and seeing people in there work their ass off is very inspiring and at the same time they have found what works for them, and that is my point. If you found what works for you regarding food and training, do not change it. For me, CrossFit in combination with a "good food" diet where I eat enough protein and just fill up the rest seems to work very well.
Today's workout:
STRENGTH (WEEK 6/DAY2):
1) Back squat:
75%x 4 reps, 115kg
80%x 4 reps x 3 sets, 120kg

Correct me if I'm wrong but from what i researched about Tren . And not that I never cycled in my life.. But i read that it's for like a month pre or post intense competitions, fights etc. to get the aggression to push further and just for pure strength...so wouldn't dosing Tren for a year straight be a not so wise choice....I'm just gaining Intel here with questions. By no means am I insulting you. Thanks

Not sure what you are referring to but I am not running tren for one year straight. Tren do not agree with me so I am no longer running it.

Did not post yesterday but ran a Boot Camp for the Police and after that went home and crashed in bed for 1h before starting the workday. Got some cool news as we will start to train the Anti-terrorist people in mid-September. Starting with 20 out of the 175 men squad. We will bring them up to international standard in terms of fitness. Their main thing is agility, scaling walls and such. Pretty psyched about this one :-)

Back in the box this morning after fighting some fatigue like syndromes last week. Seems to be getting better so I felt pretty refreshed today. I started having a problem in the right arm muscle (It is a different spot from what they worked on in my physio) so doing Clean and Jerk became Power Clean and Jerk. Got to head back to get that problem squared away. The second big update is a switch in the programming. I moved from the weightlifting focus over to a competition focused program to get more training on handstand walks, muscle-ups and other gymnastic related movements.
Today's training:
1. Clean and Jerk
5x3 Clean and Jerk at 75% - no TnG, 60kg
Used a crappy 60kg on this one, the arm is to injured to be used in this manner.
2. Back Squat
3RM Box Squat with bands and/or chains, 200kg
3. Front Squat
5x5 Front Squat at 75% across, 80kg
4. Strength Conditioning
5 rounds NOT for time of:
Max Push Press, Bodyweight, 70kg, 60kg
Max Strict TTB
* No rest between movements, 3-minute rest between rounds

Another day another workout. The increase in how many Wall Balls (i.e I did all WB in a row today with no pause) I can now pull off is for me a VERY good sign of the how my conditioning is getting better. Going to be fun to run through the CrossFit Open in 2017, which is my test run for 2018. Got some good inspiration from others working out at the same time as me. Always helps me push harder when not going solo when it comes to conditioning in particular.
