10 consecutive giant sets, no rest between

10 JJ
10 push up
20 squat
5 pull up

3 giant sets with ruck on:

10 box squats
prowler sled push
battle ropes
plank
hammer curl x 8

After next GR, I'm going to start lifting some weights......realized I've lost some posterior muscles after sitting on the box for the first time in a few months.

DB bench  5/5/3/3

Weighted Pull up 3 x 8 superset Hex DL 3 x 5

Giant set x 2:

Single arm incline DB x 8
Overhead lunge x 10
RDL x 10

Box Squats 5/5/3/3

Single Arm DB floor press 3 x 8  superset Bulgarian split squat 3 x 10

Giant Set:

Row to chest 3 x 10
Swiss Ball leg curl 3 x 10
DB push press 3 x 10

Hex DL 5 / 3 / 2 / 1

Atomik Bomb pull ups 3 x 8  superset back squat 3 x 10

Walking lunge (goblet weight)
Single arm DB press
GH raise.


That was my first week back doing weight training.   Need to get past the phase were everything hurts.....Today ran 5 miles, which was the first run since the GR light a couple weeks ago.  The whole "use it or lose it" thing is entirely true.   I was able to do the run in a little under 37.5 minutes, but it was a struggle.

I have to figure out a happy medium now, between getting strong again, but maintaining conditioning.   I thought I could lift 3x a week, and mix in one run and one ruck......but not sure the joints will appreciate that.

After doing a DL single on my first week, I woke up feeling like someone slapped me across the upper back with a 2 x 4.

Plyo box jumps 5 / 5 / 5    24" / 24" / 30"

Hex DL 5 / 3 / 2 / 1

Weighted Atomik Bomb pull ups 3 x 5 superset back squat 3 x 10

Giant sets

Alternate DB press / medicine ball push - 1 set.

5 mile ruck.

So, after three weeks of weight training after no real weight lifting for 4-5 months, I think I'm supposed to de-load next week.

Got up to a 350 single on the hex bar = I know, nothing special, but I thought it was good progress for three weeks.  Pushing the 100s comfortable on DB presses now for the first time since shoulder surgery........after de-load week, I'll do another three weeks, hoping to hit 400 for a single on the hex DL.....then decide what to do from there.  Likely switch back to more military/conditioning stuff.
