Ho. Ly. Crap.

Today began Stage 3 of the New Rules...

A: One-arm Dumbbell Snatch: 3x6 @ 10, 15, 20
B1: Dumbbell one-leg Romanian Deadlift: 3x6 @ 40 (i.e. 2 20lb dumbbells)
B2: Barbell Bentover Row: 3x6 @ 45, 55, 55
C1: Dumbbell one-arm overhead squat: 3x6 @ 15 (i.e. 5lbs overhead, 10lbs in lowered hand)
C2: Dumbbell incline Bench Press: 3x6 @ 25 (only managed 5 reps on the 3rd set)
D1: Plank: 3x90 secs (made 90, 80, 60)
D2: Reverse Wood Chop: 3x6 @ No. 4 plate (Still no clue what weight this is)

E: Bodyweight Matrixs

24 Squats
24 lunges (12 each side)
24 jump lunge
24 Jump Squats

First set took 3:55, Second set took 3:38.

I'd encourage all of you to try this BW matrix. It's INTENSELY harder that it looks.

  1. I am truly impressed when women do the olympic lifts, particularly the snatch, which I esteem as the most awesome of all lifts. Clicking 'like' on this post for sure.

  2. I take that back. I'm impressed when *anyone* does an olympic lift correctly. Far too often, I see guys bench pressing and bicep curling themselves into mediocrity.
