Repeat Until Strong.

Shouldn’t BB Back Squat performed first in the session? Or is just for variety?
For the time being, just for health - my hips and back like it.
I am still not sure how exactly to incorporate squats into the Imperial Program Minimum, but one thing I know for sure - they are a must.

Wednesday's Practice: Barbells & Dumbbells

I hurt my wrist in my combat arts practice, kettlebell pressure creates significant pain, so alternative plan:
  • Barbell military press: 3x5 with 40 kg
  • Dumbbell Split Clean: 5x3 with 25 kg
  • Dumbbell press: 5x5 with 25 kg
  • Barbell back squat: 3x5 with 80 kg

Friday's Practice: Barbells & Dumbbells
  • Dumbbell Split Clean: many singles with 25 kg
  • Dumbbell press: couple of (1,2,3) ladders with 25 kg
  • Barbell back squat: 3x5 with 80 kg
Wrist is better, but not good yet.
 
Wednesday's Practice: Barbells & Dumbbells & Bodyweight
  • Dumbbell swing, clean, and press: Done as @Brett Jones Iron Cardio, 20 sets, OTM
  • Barbell back squat: 3x5 with 80 kg
  • Tactical Pullups: Couple of easy 2-4-6 ladders
Again, my wrist is better - but still not good enough. Teaching combat arts 4 times a week doesn't help - I have to show lots of techniques, so the wrist does not have 100% rest.
