Today’s workout was very similar to some conditioning drills we did last night in Muay Thai class. So my muscles were already very familiar with the movements!
But first, I had to 1+ my Wendler front squat. My inner, inner thighs are super sore from MMA class on Monday night when we worked takedowns and takedowns, and takedowns which use a teeny tiny muscle in your inner thigh when you change levels and dive in. So I was very aware of that muscle today not only in my front squat, but also in the jumping lunges.
Wendler Front Squat
5×75#
5×90#
3×110#
5×135#
3×150#
3×170#
When I went in this morning sore as all getout, I thought I’d just do 1 at my + and call it good, but even after 135# and 150# felt unreasonably heavy, I wasn’t ready to give up at just 1. So 3 was good. My midline definitely started getting compromised after that and I don’t need to pull anything in my legs.
The workout was an EMOM format for 12 minutes
7 jumping lunges
7 sprawls
7 V-ups
The worst part was definitely the V-ups. I have just the hardest time balancing for those. But, I’m not a person that ever gets the butt burn rash so I wonder if part of it is just your body make-up/composition??? Anyways, that was it. I then did a lot of stretching my inner thighs.
