​Skill Block…

Warm Up: .5 mile walk to gym 


Today’s 10-minute skill block should be crisp and low-volume because you trained full body heavier yesterday.


0:00–1:30 — Preparation


  • Wrist rocks: 30 seconds
  • Scapular push-ups: 8 controlled reps
  • Hanging scapular depressions: 5 controlled reps


1:30–3:30 — Bent-arm planche


  • 2 × 6-second unsupported holds
  • Rest 55 seconds
  • Keep both feet airborne. Gradually open the hips and knees only while your torso remains controlled and level.


3:30–8:45 — Planche-to-lever transitions


Complete 3 sets:


  • Bent-arm planche: 4 seconds
  • Controlled transition: 3 seconds
  • Near-full/full front lever: 5 seconds
  • Rest 90 seconds


Choose the straightest lever position you can own with roughly two seconds of holding capacity remaining. No forced knee or hip extension.


8:45–10:00 — Reset


  • Passive hang: 20 seconds
  • Child’s-pose breathing or relaxed floor breathing: 55 seconds


AVG HR - 104 BPM

MAX HR - 132 BPM

Full Body A…

Lower body

  • Barbell high pull
    • Warm-up: empty bar 
    • 2 × 5 @ 55
    • Stop when speed or technique declines
  • Lying leg curl
    • Warm-up: 1 × 12 @ 45
    • 2 × 8 @ 75
    • Stop around 1 RIR


  • Leg extension
    • 2 × 8 @ 170 
    • Controlled eccentric; stop about 1 RIR


  • Standing calf raise
    • 2 × 10 @ 170
    • Full pause in the stretched position
    • Keep this bilateral


Chest and back — superset


  • Reverse Incline Hammer Press
    • 8-7-7 @ 265-275-285
    • 285 @ 1 RIR


  • Close-grip neutral pulldown
    • 2 × 8 @ 210
    • Red Handle - Slightly underhand 
    • Drive elbows toward your hips without leaning far backward


Chest and back — superset


  • Pec deck
    • 2 × 12 @ 140
    • Use a controlled stretch rather than chasing maximum depth


  • Chest-supported 
    • 8–7–7 @ 320-340-365
    • Since 365 was about 2 RIR 


Shoulders


  • Machine lateral raise
    • 3 × 12 @ 27.5 
    • Stop 1–2 reps before form deteriorates


Arms — superset


  • Preacher Machine Curl
    • 2 × 8 @ 100
    • This changes the resistance profile from the EZ-bar curls in B


  • Dip machine
    • 2 × 8 @ 210
    • Aim for 1–2 RIR


AVG HR - 120 BPM

MAX HR - 158 BPM


The main changes from B are:


  • No leg press, giving your back and hips a break from loaded hip/knee flexion.
  • Neutral pulldowns replace sternum pull-ups.
  • Pec deck replaces the low-to-high fly.
  • Lateral delts replace the rear-delt/upright-row emphasis.
  • Machine/preacher curls replace EZ-bar curls.
  • No overhead extension, because B already gives your triceps considerable work through pressing, extensions, and dips.


Recovery walk:


.33 miles


AVG HR - 111 BPM

MAX HR - 117 BPM
