50/20 day 2

2min rope
dynamic stretching

supersets for 20min
chin-ups 57 total
dips 59 total

kneeling ab wheel 3s x 12r (60-90sec rest)

-its a small jump but ill be shooting for 60 in each next.
-most sets descended from 5s to 3s to 2s. will try to mix and match reps more often next time. im thinking 2s and 4s or maybe laders.
-lesson to be learned: once failing on a set retrying with the same # of reps does not work in this format
-tri delts and lats were felt fried while doing the ab wheel. switching to straight leg sit-ups or ab circuit next time

dynamic stretching
deadlift 205 x 50 in 10min (3, 8, 9, 8, 7, 5, 10)

-using 245 next time 205 was way too light.
-weighed in at 165 today (large breakfast).

Tango 1.0 take1

Maxwell DD
2min rope
dynamic stretching

Tango 1.0 take 1
10 tripods
5/5 LCCJ (first 3 sets), 5/5 jerks (last 4)
5 body rows
7 rounds in 9 minutes
AHR 172, Max 183, Min 152, recovery 14 (181-167)

kneeling ab wheel - 4s x 10r (1-1:30 rests)

-Not going to continue with these exercise selections. I thought with Marco's success using this program I could avoid bastardizing it.

-CST Postmortem:
Hate: I hate incorporating jerks and lccj's with cattlebawls in to bodyweight circuits. Maybe its my shitty form and this odd desire i have to breath like Valery does but they take too fuckin long. I much prefer higher paced exercises. The hand switch is stupid too.
Like: I hated the tabata medball slams in a good way and will incorporate them. I think going between set time periods per circuit, tabata, then an all out do as many as you can do in this timeframe is a cool way of doing conditioning circuits.
Conclusion: I will return to using CST with BW only exercises and possibly double swings with kbs. Do not get me wrong on timed sets for LCCJs, Jerks, Cleans, Swings or Snatches. I have respect for doing these alone for a couple minutes or more. That is were they belong. For me they do not belong in integrated circuits.

Sierra 1.0 take 1

2min rope
dynamic stretching

Sierra 1.0 take 1
Tabata 6 rounds of each (20sec on 10 off), 1min rest between rounds
24kg kb cleans 8l, 8r, 8l, 8r, 8l, 8r
med ball slams 17, 16, 15, 14, 14, 12
ring pull-ups 3, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1
AHR 163, max 181, min 80, recovery 27 (161 - 134)

neck isos

-mostly seeing where I'm at. will change up reps an accelerate through rounds.
-my ring set up is too rickety to kip well. muscling through was slow and made my hr go way down. subbing in body rows on the rings next time.
-the slams were by far the most taxing. I'm considering putting them last.

Charlie 1.0 take 2

I was advised by MarcoFP to scale it back on the reps a bit and got some good results.

2min rope
dynamic stretching

Charlie 1.0 take 2
9 rounds on the minute of:
6 springing tripods
3/3 24kg kb jerks
3 push-ups
8:37, AHR 167, Max 181, Min 93, Recovery 12 (181-169)

kneeling ab wheel 3s x 10r

ended up with a little over 20 seconds rest between rounds.
breathing correctly (or how i have been taught) on the jerks is a bitch when you're in a hurry.

Charlie 1.0 Take one

Decided to mess with the CST protocol modeled after MarcoFP's log found here:
http://www.irongarmx.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=193668&start=0

Charlie 1.0
7 rounds on the minute of:
10 springing tripods
3/3 24kg jerks
5 push-ups

-Max HR 178, Recovery 18 (178-160)
-Only ended up with 10-12 seconds between rounds. Not sure if this is to be expected. PM'd MarcoFP for advices on whether to scale back reps, bust my ass faster or if this is to be expected.
