“Abbate"...

1 mile
155 pound Clean and jerk, 21 reps
Run 800 meters
155 pound Clean and jerk, 21 reps
Run 1 Mile
42:44Rx

I realized about five reps into the first round of clean and jerks that 155lbs was a huge mistake. Went way too heavy but decided to tough it out.

Thought about giving up. Wanted to give up. Didn’t give up - because of Sergeant Abbate. 


U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Matthew T. Abbate, 26, of Honolulu, Hawaii, assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force, based out of Camp Pendleton, California, was killed on December 2, 2010, while conducting combat operations in Helmand province, Afghanistan. He is survived by his wife Stacie Rigall, son Carson, mother Karen Binion, father Salvatore Abbate, and siblings Dominica Abbate, Elliot Abbate, Valerie Binion, and Kelly Binion.

35lb Hill Plate Carry...

35lb plate hill plate carry. 1 mile - 21:02 Tough, especially since it's impossible to find a comfortable carrying position for the plate. I had it in front of me, on my shoulders, I held it overhead, I switched hands. Everything hurts! Just me, the 35lb plate, my Nikes and the hill.

Set 1: 50/50
Set 2: 70/70
Set 3: 90/140
Set 4: 90/140
Set 5: 90/180

Smith Machine Lunges
Do four reps on one leg, then quickly switch to the other leg and do four reps. Then go back to the other leg and do four reps, then four on the other. Each leg gets 8 total reps so you don't have one leg that's significantly more annihilated than the other when you squat, plus you can use heavier weight. Increase the weight after each set of lunges as you'll be supersetting the lunges with Smith machine squats. Then...

Smith Machine Squats
Throw a 45-pound plate on top of your lunging load and do 8 deep reps. For example, use 25 pounds on each side for the first set of lunges, and then add a 45-pound plate for the deep Smith machine squats. On the next set do 35 pounds on each side for lunges, and then add a 45-pound plate on top for squats, etc. These are tough
