ROP Heavy Day - Equivalent of 5 x 1-2-3-4, but better!

No swings, a little short on time

Skipped last week's Light Day, just no time.

ROP Heavy - nominal goal is 5 x 1-2-3-4 for a total of 50 reps in 20 sets

24 x 1, 20 x 2, 3, 4 = 10, avg = 20.4

24 x 2, 20 x 4, 5 = 11, avg = 20.72

24 x 1, 20 x 2, 3, 5 = 11, avg = 20.36

24 x 1, 20 x 2, 4, 5 = 12, avg = 20.33

24 x 1, 2, 20 x 3 = 6, avg = 22

Total meets the goal of 50 reps, used only 18 sets, did 6 reps w/ 24 kg.  Next time we will start ladders to 5 -or ladders w/ 15 total reps in 5 rungs or less by some other combination.

ROP Medium, with a twist

Tuesday's heavy day left me sore - lifted in much less time than usual

Today, Friday

Walk to warmup

No swings - no time now, maybe later, maybe tomorrow.  Must keep the goal the goal, and this is a pressing program.

MP - need equivalent of 1-2-3 x 5 for today's medium day, which is 30 reps.  Instead, we'll do it this way:

(24 kg x 2, 1:00 rest, 20 kg x 4) x 5 - trying for speed today, also vertical forearm, also trying to keep right shoulder better packed at top.

Notes:

1st ladder - OK

2nd ladder - better

3rd ladder - a little fatigue

4th ladder - better again

5th ladder - last rep on 24, longer hold overhead, yielding/paused descent, and on 20, yielding back-forth

Good day, short but not too short this time, nice to get 10 reps w/ the 24 and all doubles.
