Today's Training: Total Body Strength

   Today was another total body strength day using Wendler's 5-3-1 system with the core exercises being the Incline Bench press and the power clean.

Warmup: Quad rocks, banded quad rocks, 1/2 kneeling hip flexor, lower body rolls, banded low back traction, ankle mobs, Y Wall slides, Cross crawls

Workout: 

  • Incline bench: 1 x 5 @ 115, 135, 155, 175
  • Power cleans: 1 x 3 @ 115, 125, 145, 165
  • Landmine RFESS: 3 x 6 @  50 lbs., tri-setted with
  • 4" Grenade grip chins: 3 x 7
  • Rollouts-3 x10
  • Rip Trainer Iso lateral holds- 3 x 10 sec. x 3
Comments: Good session; hit better numbers on the Incline bench from last week so maybe it was just a matter of "greasing the groove." 
    The Landmine RFESS were an experiment and I liked the movement. We continue to use those in the future. The 4" grenade chins were a real grip challenge. Have been doing a lot of grip challenging chin variations lately. 

Train hard and train smart!
