Vacation!

We will be on vacation from 4/12 until 4/18.  There will be no classes at State of Fitness this week and I won’t be posting workouts unless I can get reliable internet access. I will also have very limited access to email.

If you want to keep up with the strength program this week, we have squat, press and power clean on Monday and Friday, and squat, bench and deadlift on Wednesday.

Have a great week!

Warm up and Stretch

Strength Session 9 - Squat 3×5, Bench Press 3×5, Deadlift 1×5.

Use the following log to calculate your warm up and work  sets based on your 1 rep or 5 rep maxes.   http://www.scribd.com/doc/3382978/Starting-Strength-Logbook-Calculator

Edit the yellow fields at the top inputting your 1 rep or 5 rep max in the test weight field.

Focus on form and don’t worry about starting out too light.  Eat lots of good food and get plenty of sleep.

Development Work

Workout

Time for a little outdoor training.

5 rounds of:

  • vehicle push for 2 min
  • sledgehammer swings for 1 min
  • rest 1 min

Record shortest distance vehicle pulled and least reps of swings for all 5 rounds.

04-26-09 034

Vehicle push – find a flat parking lot, preferably empty and push a car as far as you can for 2 minutes.  If this isn’t feasible for you, you can use a sled of some kind.  Attach weights or heavy things to a rope, chain, or straps.  Make a loop at the end of the strap, rope, or chain to use as handles and “push” the handles so that the weight drags behind you.  Make it challenging.

Sledgehammer swings – a great substitution for sledgehammer swings is ball slams.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7NAe6J3GJk&feature=related I don’t know who this guy is, but he’s pretty awesome.

Post lowest reps of swings and shortest distance pushed to comments.

Development Work

Workout

2 rounds of:

  • 2:00 sandbag throw
  • :30 rest
  • 2:00 #3 combination with a round kick
  • :30 rest
  • 2:00 sit up with medicine ball throw
  • :30 rest
  • 2:00 double jab, sprawl
  • :30 rest

Start with a warmup of your choosing.  Do a few sets with lighter weight of development work on whatever you feel needs improvement (flexibility, a certain lift, rounds kicks, hooks, a gymnastic movement, whatever).

Workout

  • sandbag throw – take a sandbag, or heavy bag if you don’t have one.  Clean it to a rack position and throw the bag as far as you can.  Move quickly to it and repeat.
  • #3 combo with a kick – left straight, right straight, left hook, right round kick.  Opposite for lefties.
  • med ball throw – take a medicine ball and sit up and throw it to a partner or target.  Have your partner throw it back.  Do another situp and throw the ball again.
  • double jab, sprawl – two left straights moving in and immediately sprawl after the second punch.  Pop back up and repeat.
