Felt good in the early sets, a little shaky at 205 and 215.  Then just had nothing for the singles.  Couldn’t get a good dip or a good push under the bar.  Oh well.

My split gets less and less apart as the weight goes up, so the 210 almost felt more like a push jerk, but it got overhead and the feet got back together. Had a muscle ache in my back right in the first round of 5, so that sucked, pushed through however.

Globo scale: If using iron plates build to heavy singles that you can control. Set pins up in the rack, or just know your limits. A great time to practice and perfect your split jerk technique. If using dumbbells today use the same rules, sans the rack. If you max out the dumbbells do AMRAP sets or multiple fast singles. Another option is to practice split jerk technique then do split jerk stance strict presses with the dumbbells.


Bodyweight sub: Spend 15 minutes after warmup working on kipping handstand pushups, with a deficit if possible. Scale as necessary. If you don't have a wall do clapping pushups. Also throw in some knee ups and explosive squat jumps for power production.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about, but make sure you can alternate feet on the split jerks, especially on the lighter/more-rep sets.


WORKOUT THEMES

Now that I think about it, a heavy split jerk is probably the most difficult way to challenge jumping/landing in all of weightlifting. Upright torso, unilateral loading, overhead position, and heavy load.


MAIN DECISION

Do I have the technique/strength to make a 1 rep max the best use of my time, or should I do more reps at a lighter weight?


TECHNIQUE SCALE

More reps as a lighter weight, maybe sets of 10 or more. And alternate your freaking feet.


CONSISTENCY SCALE

As listed, but find a rhythm and rebound on the sets of 5 and 3. This also puts a big time challenge on our squat shape (the dip) because it becomes like a really heavy wall-ball.


INTENSITY SCALE

Do a short burpee set or sprint before each lifting set.


INJURY SCALE

Upper-body - Do a max effort back squat and then maybe practice some box jumps or lunges between sets.

Lower-body - AMRAP in 20 minutes of: 60-sec. handstand, 20 knees to elbows


MY STUFF

Not great today. 205. Felt good early on but was kind of bullshitting/impatient in working up in weight. Did all splits on opposite foot but that didn't make a difference.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 3
