(sub)maximal strenf

Today I wasn’t able to ride to work as I had some toof stuff to take care of.  Only did the following maximal strenf routine.  I really need to build out some dumbbells.  These 50lb-ers are not cutting it.

Routine looked like:

3 minutes of jump rope for warm up.

  • 3 x 50 lb dumbbell clean and press per arm
  • rest 90 seconds
  • 6 x 50 lb dumbbell in each hand clean and press (I found that the 50 lb c&p was too easy and not strenf oriented).
  • rest 90 seconds
  • Repeated the 50lb in each hand c&p 2 more times with 90 secs of rest.
  • rest 90 seconds
  • 4 x 50 lb dumbbell snatch per arm.  I did these as fast as I could.  I know I can snatch more than 50 lb (must build dumbbells!)
  • rest 90 seconds

Repeated the snatches 3 more times with the following rest intervals 60, 30 seconds.  I really need to build some dumbbells.

  • rest 1 minute

At this point I did some complex pair work

Tried to do some sort of 1 legged squat.  I ended up doing step ups as describe on beastskills.  I did the following:

  • 5 x step ups per leg (tried to eliminate non-supporting leg as much as possible, need to find better alternative)
  • 50 lb dumbbell in each hand straight leg dead lift
  • rest 60 seconds.

Repeated the above 4 times through.

I did some more complex pair work which was:

  • 5 x 25 lb around waist PVC pullups.  PVC pullups is where you hang two PVC pipes vertically and grip them and do pullups with them.
  • 10 x ring dips
  • rest 60 seconds

The ring dips turned out to be more maximal strenf than anything.  Why am I saying strenf??  I did the just-described routine 4 times through.

To finish things off I did 100 double unders.  These were performed as: 30, 10, 10, 10, 10, 7 and random numbers until 100 was complete.
