8th & I
Bar muscle-ups 5 x 3 (every 90 seconds)
? minutes (alternating OTM): 8 push presses (135) & 8 T2B
Notes: Kept things moderate today after quite a bit of volume yesterday. My bar muscle-ups didn't have the explosiveness that they sometimes have, but they got better on the last few sets (video is of the first two sets). When I remember to keep my legs as straight as possible with my feet glued together (and glutes engaged), I get a much more explosive kip. I like bar muscle-ups because they help reinforce the proper mechanics for a non-false grip muscle-up. I ended up going for 14 minutes on the OTM-style work. I used a "?" in my programming because I didn't have a set number of minutes. Instead, I decided to let the T2B dictate how long I would go. So long as the T2B were unbroken, I'd continue working. I could feel the T2B starting to break down on the 14th minute, so I opted to call it quits there instead of actually failing. Push presses were crazy strong today -- 135 isn't usually that light for me, but I banged out 56 solid reps today. Big squatting day tomorrow.
A freight train is strong, powerful, and steady across long distances. A freight train only goes "off the tracks" if it gets going at a pace faster than it can sustain. Bobby Scott Performance believes that a large volume of sub-maximal efforts paired with intelligently programmed bouts of intensity will develop a strong, powerful competitor with a huge aerobic base -- in other words, "an aerobic freight train."
