cluster - a weight used that is %'s heavier than your 5RM for that movement; athlete takes 10 sec break b/t each rep; in this case, unrack the weight, perform a thruster and pause 1 sec overhead, lower weight to shoulders, then rerack the weight on stands, wait 10 sec and do this for 5 reps per set for 5 sets; an effective means to a higher 5RM

Chest to Bar Chinups... does this mean specifically underhand grip, also kip or no kip? Thanks in advance!
ReplyDeleteJoey, touch your chest to the bar. Hand grip is up to you. If you want many, kip.
ReplyDeleteJust saw the Bolt 9.58 WR, the guy is amazing AND he'll run faster still. It looks like he just never slows down!
ReplyDeleteThanks Geoff, I'll try to do many!

I feel friggin' good though.
Big Dawgs, thanks yesterday for the helpful feedback on my snatch, i will def learn from that.

ReplyDeleteDont hook your thumb around the bar on thrusters, all 5 fingers on the same side of bar...make sense? i think geoff mentioned that a month ago, i tryed it, and no more wrist pain....

Felt great today. Been a while since doing thrusters, but first time I have ever actually felt comfortable with these weights.
Thrusters: 145 for all sets, challenging by the end. The 2 sec negative tempo limited what I was expecting to do on these.

ReplyDeleteLast full day of an amazing trip to BC; we like it here. Anyone traveling to the Comox Valley absolutely needs to check out Mark at Titanium CrossFit; a stand-up guy who is destined to have a great facility packed full of eager clients. I can't thank him enough for letting me train at his box.
Loving the programming lately, it's right up my alley these days. Ready to get back to full-time training and focusing on the September competition!

The final week of wedding planning is taking its toll. My energy levels are low as I'm still suffering the effects of a late night and too many shots at my stagette on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteQuick workout today included an attempt at Thrusters but shoulder was acting up and some AMRAP pullups (still working on the chest to bar) Only did 3 sets of each.
Thrusters - worked up to 85# which felt relatively light considering my shoulder wasn't feeling so great.
Pullups - 3 sets of 15 (the first few I can get my chest to the bar but that's it)
Looking forward to a lot more pep in my step tomorrow :o)
Well I started the thruster cluster....then my rack broke so I ended up doing 5 sets of 3.

Notes: Started a little heavy and didn't back down. Tweaked a little something in second round. ALMOST lowered weight to prevent injury but felt if I kept tight core and perfect form, I could stick it out. Rolled out nerve between each round and kept pressing on. Tough on the 'ol wrists!
It seems like we haven't done pullups and in warmup, my body felt SOOO heavy hanging on the arms. Felt like I did a pretty good job today.

Brent Maier, you are a beast pulling 20 cal in your first row! Seriously impressive. I know how I felt after 17, I can't imagine getting another 3. Great work!
I often pull myself off the seat during hard sprints. After watching yesterdays journal vid (Todd vs Rower) I tried putting some tape on the seat. It helped a little.

ReplyDeleteNo Big Dawgs WOD for me today...got to cfc, was all prepared to do it, but the cfc WOD had rope climbs in it and I've been TERRIFIED of climbing to that high ceiling at CFC. Felt like the right time to get over that...plus Mack kind of yelled at me...told me to 'just chalk up and climb the rope!!!' So...to get over the fear I did that WOD. Got to the ceiling 6x...one was warm up!!!
