Thanks, "J"!

2 rounds for max reps:

catapult the bag over the tire - jump through - flip

A "catapult" is where you grab the bag on the floor, do a full squat clean / thruster / launch the bag into the air at the top of the thruster.

hey tim!

hope you are feeling better. whatever this crap is that is going around keeps you down for a long time! I got some crap jan 2 and took a full month to recover. a lot of my clients are dealing with the same thing. rest as much as possible.

your workouts are looking great as always. p.s. any workout that has the name eugene allen next to it is guarenteed to be frightening!

hey if you have a moment would you mind shooting me an email? i've got a project i am working on and i would greatly appreciate your opinion. speakofthedevil@mac.com

hope all is well in your world :-)

The last time I did this workout was 3/15/07. That day I did bar dips, and finished in 19:20. Today I got done in 17:27.

**minime** · 05-Mar-08, 08:42 AM

great job tim, do you mean toes on the floor? what do you find harder, the ring dips with toes down or regular bar dips?

tim_mcf · 05-Mar-08, 09:24 AM

Yeah, toes on the floor. I think the ring dips with toes down are harder, but not by much.

Thanks for stopping in!

**minime** · 05-Mar-08, 01:34 PM

have you ever tried 'kipping' your ring dips? It enables me to do say 3 in a row, instead of...you know.. zero lol

My ROM is still really bad but I'll take what I can get!

tim_mcf · 06-Mar-08, 07:49 AM

I haven't really tried that, no. Suppose I should.

3/6/08:

deadlift
singles 135, 185, 225, 275, 295, 315, 335, 345, 365, 385

tim_mcf · 08-Mar-08, 07:56 PM

3/8/08:

-75 lb sandbag / 45 lb kettlebell / 20" box
AMRAP, 20 minutes:
-shoulder bag 5 times
-10 kb snatch (5/5)
-15 box jump

I got 9 rounds plus 5 shoulders / 10 snatch. Tough one. I would have made 10 full rounds except I missed a box jump around round 6 or so and lost some time.

3/9/08:

overhead squat
singles - 45, 65, 85, 95, 115, 120 PR
95x5 (80% of PR), 95x5, 95x5

front squat
singles - 95, 115, 135, 160, 185, 205, 225, 240 PR
190x5 (80% of PR), 190x5, 190x5

back squat
singles - 190, 225, 275, 300, 325 miss (previous PR was 320)
255x3 (80% of previous PR)

And at that point I was done. I had intended to do 3x5 at 255, but I was too fatigued and only had 3 in me. I had also then intended to do a set of 20 back squats at 50% of PR, then 20 front squats at 50% of PR, then 20 OHS at 50% of PR...but I was out of time anyway, plus as it turns out I just ran out of time anyway. Too ambitious of a plan.
