15 unbroken wall balls (20#/14# to 10 ft)
rest for 10 breaths
1 L up/2 strict chin ups/3 kipping chin ups/4 chest to bar chin ups (all back to back without coming off the bar)
rest for 15 breaths
perform as many of these sets unbroken as you can in a 20 minute time frame...if you start fractioning, continue with the sets for the 20 minute time frame with breathing rests as rx'd and note in comments
+
skill work:
for 5 minutes, on a tabata timer, alternate b/t slow methodical push ups and slow methodical air squats - work on form and control...like 2-3 sec down and 2-3 sec up for 20 sec on and 10 sec off for 5 minutes...i.e. 5 sets each...work on tight midline on push ups and hip flexors pulling you down on squats
welcome to all new dawgs...on rest day this week i'll explain all recent questions (i.e. nutrition, eccentrics, etc..)
post wod fuel same as yesterday!
WOW! The Big Dawg pack is blowin' up!
ReplyDeleteUnit, I got your mail. Thank you so much. It really helped me a lot and got me thinking about a lot of things. Unfortunately I've been busy lately--I've been travelling and I have to prepare my important speech (a crowd of 200+ people, gasp!). I'll write to you soon.

Early morning wod for me today, and O-lift class tonight.
ReplyDelete11 rounds. Had to take fraction (5 breaths) between kips and C2B starting in the 9th round. Prior to that all unbroken. The breathing scheme is pretty crafty.
Skill work felt good. Only slightly sore hammies, but I could feel them as I went down slow in the squats.
Re: rest day write up - please include warm up talk too!
ReplyDeleteTY.
12+15 wallballs, unbroken
ReplyDeleteIt got hard mentally in the later rounds, grip got hard on the pullups, huge breaths inbetween sets, focused on 1 set at a time...
4 min to recover
skill work, really felt the hip flexors in the squat and tight core in pushups was a good challenge.
At the lake= no access to heavy set of weights or pull-up bar
ReplyDeletedid "Karen" (150 wall ball shots for time) 9:52- lots of room for improvement,will be looking to improve upon that later in the summer.
rest 10 mins then did the tabata push-ups and squats
Very creative programming. I am going to start using 2-3 of these a week for my personal program.

Thanks for your reply yesterday Trevor. Now I'm wondering how the amount of protein and carbohydrate can be determined. I've had many people approach me at the box I coach at with regards to post-WOD nutrition and nutrition in general. I have gathered information from various source (Zone, Paleo for athletes, robbwolf.com, etc) but I have never found anything that indicated portion control post-WOD until now.
ReplyDeleteAnymore information would be very valuable and extremely
helpful to the others at CF Kingston.
Started with band supported full planche, 4 sets of 8 sec. w/1 min rest
ReplyDeleteCouplet: 6 rounds with slow, relaxed breaths. wallballs easy and relaxed, only C to B challenging on chin complex. Had to break the last rounds.
Tabata: 4 slow reps each round of both. On pushups, focused also on scap positioning on my right side - a problem area.
PWO: 30p/30c Yam and plantain soup with whey added.
Later, a handstand practice session, and knee/ankle prehab work.
Question: C to B pullups are challenging for me. I can pull high no problem, but making the contact w/chest is quite difficult. Partly a ROM issue, I'm working on that. Do you think working on rowing strength (eg: bent rows) be of help here?
Mr. FitzGerald,
ReplyDeletePerfect timing for your rest day post to come! I was going to post questions about such topics here in the comments, but now I can just wait in anticipation. I am interested in seeing how your post wod meals play into zone/robb wolf block suggestions. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge!

9.5 rounds, at cabin - used 22# wb to 7 ft tree target
ReplyDeletesub'd 1x knee up pu, 2x strict pu, 3x kipping pu
approx 5 min. rest
push up's - need to work on hips rising at same time as chest and lowering faster with no pause as bottom
squats - legs are feeling stronger but need to work on staying on heels
post w/o: dream whey shake
Hey Dawson - Not sure if you've seen Robb's latest post, but there's some good info in there (and the comment section) about how to structure PWO.
ReplyDeletehttp://robbwolf.com/?p=634
In general, I always try to get in some good PRO and CHO right after the workout with as little fat as possible. The amount of each varies depending on how glycogen-depleting the workout was. So, if you do a balls to the wall Cindy, you're gonna need a good dose of CHO after your workout and a solid balanced meal a few hours later for recovery. Whereas if you're doing max effort snatch singles with no met con that day, much less CHO will be needed for recovery.
wb & pu complex = 10 unbroken rounds
ReplyDeletepush & squat = 9/10, 8/9, 9/10, 9/10, 9/10
9 rounds + wb + L & strict
ReplyDeleteall pull ups broken after round 2
wall ball broken in rounds 6-9
those breathings rests seemed to get shorter and shorter!
no clue of reps on skill work, but felt good to work on my totally messed up push up form.
Scott,
ReplyDeleteWhere exactly in Illinois do you hail from? Hard to locate crossfiters in the Midwest when you don't live near a large city, as there aren't that many here. I happen to be in Winchester IL.
13 rds. + 15 wall balls
ReplyDeleteLast 3 rds. of pullups broken up
Used a 14# ball (the highest the gym had)
Tom. Thank you for that information. It's pretty much what I was looking for. And it seems quite obvious too. I read Robb Wolf's article a while back and referred back to it a few times. For some reason the part about the Zone diet and consuming 1/4 PRO PWO and 1/4 - 1/2 CHO PWO didn't seem to sink in.
ReplyDeleteNow would it be beneficial to consume a higher glycemic CHO post-metcon than a lower GI CHO? And would the inverse be appropriate for a weightlifting day (low GI CHO as opposed to a high GI CHO)?
Pfeifalife,
ReplyDeleteYou hit the stake on the head about Crossfit and the Midwest! I'm in Flora, IL which is a small farming community about 30min south of Effingham. People ask me if I'm training for UFC, or if I'm a triathelete, or in the military....I just reply "I'm training for tomorrow and the unknown." They look at me weird and then I explain Crossfit to them....I have yet to get asked if someone can train with me!!

Hi "OPT"
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that I really enjoy following you at the CrossFit Games these last few years. You're consistency over the years is impressive. While many big names from last year struggled with this years new format and events, you were still right there at the top just like last year.
I am really enjoying reading through some of your programming here on your blog. I follow the main site currently but your programing is very interesting and obviously works to produce some top athletes.
I am working hard to qualify for the games next years. Great athletes like you inspire me. Thanks for being such an inspiration and for giving back so much to the CrossFit community.
Hope your injury from the games heals up quick, and happy training!
10 rounds + 15 wallballs + L-up/2 chins/3 kips/2 CTB

M/29/250
Metcon: 11 rounds w/rx'd breaths (first 5 sets pullups unbroken, all WB unbroken)
ReplyDeleteNotes: Shoulder acted up on this one. Started with slow breaths to get as much rest as possible for unbroken attempts. Once I finished round 5, I sped up my breaths going into the unbroken remainder.

ReplyDeletedropped the medball 1x, 5 reps in2 the 13th round, remainder was unbroken... first 6 sets were done using an 11ft target...

WB/PUs: 9rds+15wbs. Breathing as Rxd
ReplyDeleteBoth unbroken, grip fantastic.
Tabata mash: Forced myself to slow it down 6-7 reps each rd.
post WOD nutrition is covered for the WOD's does pre WOD nutrition matter?
ReplyDeleteWB/PUs: 10rds breathing and movements were as rx'd (my legs were shaking at the end of this one. Grip was starting to go nearer the end. This wod was a f'n monster. I liken it to quick sand, the pace wasn't super furious, but it just kept sucking me under bit by bit to end, where I was a pile on the floor. My lungs and diaphragm are smoked.
ReplyDeleteSkill: as rx’d PU’s 5,5,5,5,4 Squats 4,4,4,4,4. This one was burning.
Rolled and stretched well afterwards.
30 gram whey protein shake and half an apple
24yom/6’2”/220
Sorry, all rd's were unbroken. This took a maximal effort from me.
ReplyDelete10 rnds WBs & CU complex as Rx'd
ReplyDeleteTabata PUs & Air Squats as Rx'd
WB & Pullups
ReplyDelete6 rounds plus 15 Wallballs.
I was unable to do the pullups straight through so hopped off the bar for a quick rest in between kipping PUs and Chest 2 Bar.
All Wallballs unbroken
Skill work:
Read it wrong and did all the Push Ups first and then the Squats - Whoops
:0)
Pushups 5/5/5/4/4
Squats 7/5/5/5/7 :had to keep reminding myself to SLOW down
To finish it off Keith bet me I couldn't do 20 Burpees in a minute........He's a fool, I won! (of course)
7 rds
ReplyDeleteWB straight until rd 7 stopped at 9reps and then 6 reps
Chin matrix 2rds only and then had to fraction: 1/2 ...3/2/2 etc. Many breaths between chins. C2B were short after rd 2. Bloody right hand after 4th rd.
Did 6 rds of tabata.
Brent, hope your shoulder is not going to be a problem.
Holy Crap that was nasty! Completed 9 rounds in 20:05 with my wife Michelle coaching. Checkout my blogger for more on this world of pain. Here's the breakdown for tonights WOD.
ReplyDeleteRounds 1-5 As Rx’d no extra air time
Round 6 – One extra 15 breath air break after 3 Kippers
Round 7- Two Extra 15 breath air breaks after 2 Strict and 3 kippers
Round 8- Three extra 15 breath air breaks after 2 strict, 3 kippers, and 3 CTB
Round 9 – Two extra 15 breath air breaks after 2 strict and 3 kippers
20:05 to complete the 9 rounds
Skill work was a new experience as well. Never done tabata so slow before. I was shaking big time.
Hey James
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to training with you guys/gals...I competed in the Games last year (placed 9th)handstands took me out at the regional qualifiers this year...my teammate Cyndi Frieling competed this year and did well (13th). I am hungery to improve my weaknesses...you implement some of Poliquin TUT with your workouts...I used to train under one of his master coaches when I preparing for the Olympic Trails in 2000. Anyway, I am going to pick you as my coach this year...I completed 8 rounds of the couplete broke sets at round 3 at the CTB phase...the breathing kept me focused on the next task.
Did this WOD in a sweatbox at the hotel in Anaheim.
ReplyDelete11 rds.
Fractioning with the pull-ups started in rd 6. Foam grip bar made my hands pretty slick.
Sub'd 20lbs DB thrusters for wall balls.
Tabata work as Rx'd. Stuck to 7-8 reps per round for both exercises. Worked on a wider stance with the squats and played with arm width for the push ups.
I can't wait to get home and get back on the OPT approved menu. Coach would gag if he know what I've eaten over the last 8 days. I'll have to say a few hail mary's when I get back.
Hi James...
ReplyDelete10 rounds + wall ball...no issues with wall balls relaxed and unbroken..chinups a different story...L-ups with a slight jump and slow on the descent...ugly kipping pull ups (but got them done) and c to b done as jumping pull ups..chin ps mostly fractioned in segments...
tabata work out...pushups stayed in the 7 range faded to 6 at the end....air sqauts worked on postire and full rom throughout...legs felt good
30gram protein + glutamine after + a small peach
RogerC
Sub'd 45lbs barbell thrusters for wall balls. Sub'd chin break vertical plane of bar for C2B (ceiling still too low!!!)
ReplyDelete9 Rounds - Breathing as Rx'd. Felt smooth until last round when breathing started to get a little messed up.
Tabata (Felt good, no problems. Arms started to burn by the end)
Push-Ups - 6,8,8,8,8
Squats - 7,8,7,7,8
9 rounds as:
ReplyDeleteWall balls straight through.
Pull ups fractioned after round 3 between kipping and c2b.
Breathing was 10 breaths after wb and 10 after pull ups as i misread the post!!
Ran short on time for skill work but will crank it out later today.
Worked up to CJ of 255, then did 4 singles at that weight.
ReplyDeleteWall balls unbroken, pull ups had to be broken up after the kipping reps. First 4 rounds were straight through.
Tabata work was nice and smooth.
9 rounds unbroken. Truly forced myself to slow down breathing. Will pay dividends in the longer metcons.
ReplyDeleteTabata did 3 sec down and up methodically. 3 reps per round on each exercise. Lots of eccentric.
