I was excited to receive an invite to compete in the Dallas Spartan race on October 18th.
Today was my first day of training for a sport that I know very little about.
The race is a 10k with 25 different obstacles throughout the course.
My primary focus for the 5 week training block is going to be centered around improving my grip strength, cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, doing a lot of different variations of pull-ups/chin-ups, and improving my level of GPP overall.
Today’s training:
Main Movement:
American Grip Cambered Bar Bench: 9x3 @ 40% + green bands - 30 second rest
Pull-ups: 8x5 - 30 second rest
Cluster Set x 4: 30 second rest after everything is completed
Farmer Walks: 40 Yards with 100lb DBs
Sled Row: 40 Yards with 135lbs
Overhead Press: 85lbs AMRAP
Chin-ups: AMRAP
Finisher:
Dead Hang: To failure
Lying Leg Raises: 4x15
