grip failed on 185lb attempt, failed to lockout jerk on 14th rep @ 165, pressed for time, so went w/ 95 to finish round of 15. Grip failed coming down from rack after 7th rep @ 170 during round of 9. forearms smoked, and upper thighs torn up from impact. i rushed everything after 2nd failed attempt at round of 15. enjoyed having my expectations shattered on this wod.

Kind of disappointed for first round. Def had way more in me.
Finished strong only hiccup was grip slipped coming down on rep 6
Of last set but grabbed it right away it was like a nano second but still
Wanted to note it.
I have some bad blood with "Gwen" because the last time I attempted it was after doing the WOD 2 days earlier with 150 GHD situps & Back Extensions. Abs were so sore that the body resisted the ability to arch back in order to clear the chin. I attempted 165# and got to rep 7 when I drove the bar up into my chin and broke a chunk off my tooth.
ReplyDeleteWord of warning, if your ABS are brutally sore, be careful jerking. :)
Can we make a few clarifications here coach so that all the big dawgs are on the same page?
- Do you want us to fully squat the weight chosen?
- Do you want us to shoot for the same weight for all 3 attempts or increase it as we go?

Coach, Ive got a quick question: I've been trying to add some lean mass, but as of yesterday my bf % has crept up over 8%. In this case, would I be best served by reducing my carbs and upping the fat, or in your experience is this a case keep the carbs up?

This WOD was more mental than anything for me...pleased with my results.

Ali, yeah I realized his weight progression in the example after I submitted it. The other question regarding the squat was geared towards the fact my max weight I'm going to be able to jerk will never require anything more than a power clean. If he wanted us to engage the legs, he would have specified squat.

1st set: happy with form on this set but my grip was giving out on last 2 reps
2nd set: had issues with the grip here, I dropped the bar on rep 9 but picked it quickly. Should have taken longer rest
3rd set: decided to go lighter b/c my forearms were done!
Worked on DU for 25 min. after workout
Never done this before, but really good mental test.

scotty, maintain as is..i'd only change the fat/carb distribution if you were gassing and lethargic and losing mental acuity in day...otherwise maintain as is...your body might be looking to add osme size to accomodate...i.e. you might gain mass more so at 9 or 10%...side note, it is easier to gain for most at 10%...just that you lose on met con power as weight gets higher...hope that helps
ReplyDeletebrent, add weight per set, take as much time b/t sets as needed, use example of loads as a progression idea most times...i'd like to see you at 145/165/185 at your BWT..
ReplyDeleteI came to the conclusion that I should start posting again….

ReplyDeleteBack at it today at the firehall. The only barbell is quite thick so it was very hard to hold on to in the higher reps. That probably cost me about 5lbs/round, which is what I felt capable of after each one. First time with this WOD!

ReplyDeletethanks jefff...good to be back...been on and off this train while doing some mtn bike and training on Tommy's schedule at utecrossfit.com. I've been posting, but most of my posts are the last on the list as i usually work out at night, but something got in me today and i hit the gym by 6 this morn...the slow and steady win the race, right?! im going back through the basics and focusing on form and trying not to stress the knee. sometimes you have to slow down to speed up...so im seeing good improvements on times and knee feels good. now if i can just stay away from the choc chip cookies, ill be rockin! :)

Disappointed with this.Had a valuable reminder about nutrition today. Had a work lunch meeting where they served Lasagna, bread and potato salad. The result by 5:30pm tonight I had the nasty shakes in my legs and felt as weak as a bird.

All sets straight through without rest on quads, rack, etc.
Started losing focus on clean (again) on the last set. Started bending arms, and forgetting how to "jump". Not sure why this is happening in the past few C&J WODs. Lost all technique on last 5 reps at 155#. Each one of these reps was a fight. Jerks seemed to be the easier of the movements.

Notes: I'm most efficient with a split jerk so used it for all counts. Back & nerve still jacked from thruster cluster so I found myself bending over while catching the weight on my thighs to ease the stress on the back in the later reps. Bad form on any other day, today it was survival. The sweat started to pour 2/3 the way through every round. Can't say I enjoy Gwen but no teeth are broken and I've got a new benchmark.
Good work everyone!

The 185# x 9 was non-stop for all 9 reps, in fact I would say it took me less then 45s to complete. This tells me I took a bad strategy on my first set which was to do 5, rest on shoulders, do 5 more, rest on shoulders and then go from there.... With the first set I was probably on the bar for a good 5 mins... I learned a lot from this WOD...
