Lower body strength

Warmup

5 x 40yd sprints, :60 rest

T1
Front squat 60,70,80% 135/205/225
Depth jump x 3
Hamstring curls x 10 slide board
Reverse slide board lunge w single kb overhead x 3 each leg

T2
Front squats x 4@80% (225)
4 x hurdle jumps
4 x squat jumps

T3
5 x single leg hip extensions with barbell

5 x each leg, plank with abduction, 2sec hold

Pushed it it out to 225 today. Back felt pretty good. Still need to get cleared by the PT, but I think I'm good to hit at least 225 on squats/deadlift. Hopefully after a few weeks I can run 315 on the bar.

 

[liftandswim]

What's this T1, T2, T3 stuff? GZCL method?

 

[justanotherj]

I'm not sure. I'm following whatever our trainers put together. I can ask them. They have charts for everything. I kinda just show up, do the warmup and speed and quickness drills, then whatever the card is for the day. Then there's a loading chart for the main lift depending on the week/workout.

With a quick look at GZCL, it looks kind of similar. There's an optional T4 finisher on the cards, but I usually go run instead.

 

[justanotherj]

Yeah swim. It's the GZCL method.

Today
Swimming

[justanotherj]

Got some footage from last weekends funday sunday.

https://youtu.be/alX89dWLSQQ

was really pushing for sub 3 seconds, but I slammed 2 energy drinks during the comp. Probably the first time large amounts of caffeine didn't work in my favor. Was moving faster than I could process targets. Bad training scars.

https://youtu.be/Mf2eT7OQA-4

But dat speed reload and back on target doe. Yeah that drill sucked too. The way I grip, I touch the slide release. So it never goes to slide lock on the last round for me, and I always go for immediate action.

Can't wait to trade this thing in for a g34.

Glad I was able to hit 315. It didn't feel as much a problem for my legs as it did for my back. Legs felt rock solid once I had a belt on, my trunk felt way more stable. I'm not typically a belt squatter unless it's 405 or more.

I have another PT appointment in Wednesday. Hopefully she can clear me to deadlift and such

 

[RegisterJr]

Glad you're squatting again man.

80* and it just rained. I was holding a 7:22 pace the first two miles, then hit a wall. Can't wait for the humidity to gtfo.

The 3 energy drinks today probably didn't help either. But my RHR was 52. And I had a good gap between the last one and running.

Was only allowed to Deadlift a 5RM. I think I had another 50~ lbs in me, but didn't want to push it after just finishing physical therapy.

Back definitely isn't the same. Lower back felt imbalanced as hell on those DL bar ISO holds. Glad I can start to move heavy weight around again though

 

[RegisterJr]

What's a DL ISO hold?

 

[justanotherj]

Set the bar in the cage, then set the pins above knee level. Then deadlift into the pins as hard as you can and hold the contraction for :07. the bar should be around knee level for the ISO.

Trust me. I was like.. da****?

 

[RegisterJr]

I kinda like that.

It's good for strengthening a specific joint angle.

Day 3 of no caffeine.. and cardio still sucks. Just not as bad. Way easier to maintain pace.

**** 1 mile sprints though.

Row 2k
Swim 1000m
Flutter kicks x 150

Then some underwater work.

 

[justanotherj]

Power clean 1RM

12 minutes EMOM
Even 12 x ring dips (26lbs)
Odd 12 x pull ups

Snatch technique work
135x probably 20 x singles working on from various positions

either hip flexors are super tight, or lower back still needs to recover. I can't straighten my lower back at the bottom. But coming out of the hole I can. And going from the top just doing an OH squat, my lower back locks in straight just fine. Gonna try to do some hip mob work and foam rolling this weekend then maybe hit snatches a little harder next week (that's what she said)

 

[NomZ]

I could probably potato power clean 245.

 

[jimbuick]

What the actual **** is a 1 mile sprint? That isn't even a thing.

Lol, I was thinking the exact same thing...

 

[justanotherj]

I could probably potato power clean 245.

I'm scared to go full potatoes and fully potatoe my back injury. Only been two weeks off physical therapy. Technically I didn't do my last two appointments because I didn't want to hear her tell me I couldn't start lifting heavy.

What the actual **** is a 1 mile sprint? That isn't even a thing.

Lol, I was thinking the exact same thing...

It's evil and I don't know why anyone would write such a thing down on paper.

If you think that's crazy, you shoulda seen the 5:40 1 mile sprint I did for a Murph 2 years ago in a 20# vest

Bleh. Was hoping for sub 40

 

[justanotherj]

Swim
10 x 50m sprints, :15s rest
Usual underwater work

Also finally tested out that AR I built. Cycles perfectly.

The JPrifles competition brake made such a huge difference, hardly any recoil. And it was only 68$.

Put in their reduced power spring set, was only 10 bucks, and I'm gonna buy a dremel and try to polish the trigger later this week.

 

[justanotherj]

Bench

Bentover DB Rev flies between last 3 bench sets
15x3x15

Dips 3/1/3 tempo

One arm chin up progression
Basically one hand pronated
5x3

Basically the supinated arm does all the work, and the pronated hand only has a 2-3 fingers grip to help as little as possible.

Swim:
Underwaters/breath hold work.

Potential 5 mile run later this evening if it cools off

Ever shot a colt government model 1911? I've got a Springfield now, and am considering getting two (two tone) colts and adding the Wilson combat trigger/hammer/beavertail safety and compensator. Thinking they'll be solid guns without, but I figure why not make them better (plus it just looks cool) and have always been a big colt fan.

Ever shot one without modifications? If so, what did you think?

Yup. We have them at work. the only other 1911 I've shot was completely custom, so I have no experience with an unmodded I'm 1911.

the scalloped trigger guard is nice for higher grip(every bit counts), along with the dehorning of the slide. Other than that, I think the only other mods were a custom trigger, sights, and maybe extra serrations on the hammer.

I've probably shot more rounds on the 1911 than anything, so I usually end up missing the 1911 trigger feel (crisp break/less travel and slack on reset) whenever I shoot my xdm9. I'm trying to do some trigger work when I get a glock19, but I don't think it'll ever come close to feeling like a 1911. Polymer triggers are just.. meh. Wide and polymer feeling.
