Easy 10min Bike/Row Warm-up

4 Sets:
21-15-9:
Row Cals
Assault Bike Cals
rest 3min bw sets
*rest as needed bw sets 2/3
Oh boy was this spicy. My legs were pretty trashed from the work for day 1, and paces dropped off considerably after the first set. I was pretty aggressive in the first set, holding 1300 cals/hr and 390+ watts on the bike. However, by the last two sets, I was struggling to hold 1100 cals/hr on the row and 330+ watts on the bike.

1 - 5:47
2 - 6:22
3 - 6:42
4 - 6:44

Movement Flow:
90/90 Flow

Cool down
Relaxation Breathing - 10min @ 3162 cadence

Due to some time constraints and dropping in to a new gym I had to change some of this a bit

B. Hang Power Clean x1 + Hang Squat Clean x1; 1 complex on the 90 seconds for 6 sets
135 - 155 - 165 - 185 - 205 - 215

C. Back Squat; 10 reps @ 60%, 8 reps @ 65%, 6 reps
205 - 225 - 245
+
On the 2min for 3 sets:
8 Deadlifts @ 185#
15 Wall Balls
UB on each set. This combo at this rep scheme is one I can do without resting between sets 2 and 3. It would be uncomfortable, but I can do it. Each set was about 45 seconds

+
On the 2min for 4 sets:
8 Power Snatch @ 95lbs
8 Thrusters
*rest as needed bw sets 2/3
This was gross but I did it. I split the power snatches into 4/4 and went UB on the thrusters. Times were :47, :53, :57, and 1:02 respectively

B1. Strict Pull-up; 10 reps x 3 sets; rest 1min
UB sets of 10

B2. Bent Over Reverse Fly; 12 reps x 3 sets; rest 1min
Used 10lbs

B3. Standing Bicep Hammer Curl; 10 reps x 3 sets; rest as needed
Used 35lbs

I skipped A1-A3 thinking it would be good to lay off my shoulder, but the biceps curls kind of bothered it. Strangely, the pull-ups did not bother my shoulder at all. I think there may be some residual shoulder issues coupled with some biceps tendon issues that's been causing a lot of my shoulder problems
+
On the 5min for 2 sets:
500m Row
20 Burpees to clap OH
3:01 and 3:00 for each set, held a 1:53/500m pace on the row
+
On the 5min for 2 sets:
1000m Bike
20 Burpees over Bar
**4min cap per round
3:31 and 3:25 for each set, held 1:53/1000m for the bike

6 Sets:
15 Cal Bike
15 Cal Row
10 Cal Bike
10 Cal Row
rest 90 seconds bw sets
*rest 3min bw sets 3/4
*goal is slightly faster pace than last week

Set 1) 2:51
Set 2) 2:50
Set 3) 2:58
Set 4) 3:00
Set 5) 3:10
Set 6) 3:12 

My legs are extremely sore, and holding 1300+ cals/hr on the first three sets for the bike and the row was quite difficult. I started the fourth and fifth sets above 1300 cals/hr on the bike, but the remaining portions were between 1100 cals/hr and 1250 cals/hr

 B. Power Clean x2 + Squat Clean x1; 1 complex on the 90 seconds for 5 sets (light load, getting the feel for the lift again)
185lbs for each set, these felt a little awkward but that's not surprising

C. Back Squat; 10 reps @ 60%, 8 reps @ 70%, 6 reps @ 75%, 4 reps @ 80%; rest 2-3min bw sets (modify percentages as needed)
185 - 205 - 225 - 245

+
10min EMOM:
Odd: 12 Deadlifts @ 185#
Even: 15 Wall Balls @ 20#
Switched to a double overhand grip, gonna stick with that moving forward 
+
10min EMOM:
Odd: 8 Power Snatch @ 95#
Even: 8 Thrusters @ 95#
Made it through minutes 1-4 at the above rep scheme, minutes 5-8 were 6/6 and minutes 9-10 were 8/8. I cannot do overhead squats or squat snatches with a barbell, and I assume a dumbbell as well, without my left shoulder deciding its going to be non-functional the next day so I switched to thrusters. Squat speed and barbell cycling are very slow at the moment, and they're more difficult than I'd like. Ideally 10/10 would be a great place to be, but that might take a few more weeks

A1. Seated DB Arnold Press; 8 reps x 5 sets; rest 90 seconds
A2. Strict Pull-up (adjust as needed); 3.3 x 5 sets; rest 30 sec; rest 90 seconds
B1. KB Alternating Z Press; 8/arm x 3 sets; rest 60 seconds
B2. BirdDog Row on Bench; 8/side x 3 sets; rest 60 seconds
I used 40lb kbs for the pressing and bird dog rows

On the 2min for 4 sets:
10 Banded Strict Pull-ups
15 Push-ups
*easy bike during remaining time of each set
I had to drastically change this and only made it through 4 sets. I was able to get through the first two as written and then had to reduce the reps to 6 pull-ups and 10 push-ups. I'm gonna need you to drastically rethink these rep schemes because I've had to pretty frequently change them and I'm barely accumulating half the volume you're intending. Also, I don't see the point of the bike for the remainder of the interval

8 Sets:

I'm feeling much better and I'm ready to start getting after it again
