Noon workout w/ Adrian

We did a workout based on an interval called German Volume Training (GVT). It involves doing 10 reps of a movement (or close to it) and resting for 1 minute, for 10 rounds. If the athlete can sustain 10 reps for all 10 rounds, it's time to increase weight. The idea is to be very close to your maximum capacity for each round. I was doing the SSP too fast, per Adrian, so he had me pick up 50s instead of 40s.

We split it up into to movements; squatting and see-saw-press (alternating dumbell presses, L&R = 1).

30 presses
Hydrant run for every time you re-rack the barbell.

Push Press day.

135x5
155x3
185x3
205x1

Failed on the last rep. Carl said I just pressed too early before jumping the weight up and could've nailed it and probably more. Good day to work on technique when the bar is heavy.

Noon weightlifting w/ Kelly.

Kelly has us 'box squat' today. He had us take a wide stance to put us at the limits of our hip flexibility. We would squat down and sit on a few plates that placed our knee angle slightly below parallel, come off hamstring tension, then reactivate and rock forward then up. It taught us to be explosive out of the bottom position. The idea was to work up to something heavy.

Not paying attention to what was on the bar, I counted up the weight and realized I had just done my previously recorded PR weight easily, put on 10 more and did a regular back-squat @ 305 for a new PR. I think I had some more room to increase the load because the 305 felt like it came up easily as well.
