Strength Training and Conditioning for "The Skinny Guy"

I'm 6 feet tall, 180lbs (maybe after Thanksgiving dinner), and I have trouble filling out the shoulders in a "smedium" t-shirt. But that doesn't mean I can't be strong. Don't be confused: this blog is not about how a hard gainer can pack on the pounds. It's unhealthy to put on useless weight, and quite frankly, I haven't figured out how to do it. This is quite simply a detailed account of how I train to be strong, even though I'm built like a 6th grader.

Friday 9.23.11

Warmup:
Deadlifts: 90x5, 125x3, 145x3, 175x2, 205x1

SWOD:
3 Deadlifts on the minute for 10 minutes @ 45% (220#)

I focused strictly on speed and form during this SWOD in preparation for the CFFB Total on Monday.

DWOD:
From gymnasticswod.com:
30 seconds on, 30 seconds off, for 10 min of:
Slide to Hollow

Basically this movement is a pushup, then you slide your feet back while keeping your hands in the same position, trying your best to stay hollow, until your chest touches the ground. This absolutely torched my core, but was a nice "recovery" type WOD leading up to the total.
