Results:
Power Clean - 195#, 205#, 210#, 215#, 220#, 225#, 230# (New 1RM)
15 Sec Row Intervals - 120m, 113m, 112m
Push-Jerk/Burpee Intervals - 27 Sec, 26 Sec, 29 Sec
Box Jump/H2H Swing Intervals - 23 Sec, 25 Sec, 27 Sec

NOTES:
Today's training focuses on developing maximal power output and efficiency in the Phosphagenic pathway. The last few days have taxed the Glycolytic pathways, so it is critical to follow the prescribed rest periods to the second.

230# is a sufficient Power Clean max for my current bodyweight of 170#. I will be backing off the Olympic Lifts in the coming weeks - only performing benchmark lifts once a week, or once every two weeks, seeking to keep my Power Clean between 220# and 230# until I initiate Cycle III.

The "Hack" intervals prescribe a 30 Second time limit to each work period. The training continues until you are unable to meet the time hack. So if you've only completed two rounds of 10 x Push Jerk + 10 x Burpees, and you don't make the 30 second time hack, then you are done. Finished.

This week's training is segmented to target the three different metabolic pathways throughout the course of the week.

The training is broken down like this...

Sunday - 1 x Session. Focus: Glycolytic
Monday - 2 x Sessions. Focus: Glycolytic for both
Tuesday - 1 x Session. Focus: Phosphagenic
Wednesday - 2 x Sessions. Focus: Phosphagenic for both
Thursday - Recovery
Friday - 1 x Session. Focus: Glycolytic
Saturday - 1 x Session. Focus: Oxydative

By segmenting the training into target zones, the hypothesis is that I will be able to actually increase the week's work/training load without inducing over-training fatigue or DOMS.

We'll see how it plays out.
