hey, i have been following this blog for a while, doing the occasional workout posted that i can do. Id like to follow this site every day, but I am not sure what some of the terminology used means.
1)What do the names of the days' workouts mean. (WG phase 2. M phase 2, etc.)-what do these from the past few weeks mean??
2) For today's workout, what does 1.2.3x5 mean for the high hang cleans?
3) For 8/17/2009 workout, what does thruster cleans @20x1; 1.1.1.1.1x5 mean???
4)Also with this day's workout, what do the A1 and A2 terms mean before each lift. I noticed there are B1 and B2, etc from other day's

Surrey Sterling said...

OK Call me dense but whats the diff' between a HHC and HC?

Rob Sifton said...

The GW is refering to Gymnastics, Weight lifting.

1.2.3X5 is
1 High hang Clean (mid Thigh or higher),then into
2 Hang Clean (around knee), then
3 Cleans (from floor), then
180sec rest do that 5 times while adding weight each set.

20X1 is referring to pacing of a movement in seconds
2 is the eccentric (so the descent of the squat)
0 Is the rest at the bottom,
X is explosive contraction effort Up out of the hole.
1 Is the rest at the top while standing with Open hip.

If there is A1, A2, A3 you would do those movements together in sequence 1 then2 then 3 then do the B's together etc.

what are air squats... are the just body weight?

Anonymous said...

thanks alot rob-that clears up alot

Anonymous said...

OK, one more clarification question:

For the chin-ups @ 31X1 -

The eccentric move here is pulling up to the bar, right? Then one second at the top, come down fast, one second at the bottom?

Or do I have that backwards?

Geoff Aucoin said...

Backwards, Steve. The eccentric portion of a lift is always the lowering - which is almost always the slower portion as well (3 seconds down, pause, explode up, pause).

The first number in any tempo whether it's 4020 or 31X1 is ALWAYS the lowering/eccentric phase.

Anonymous said...

Got it. Thanks Geoff. I started looking through old CF Journal articles and came across the same thing (we're slow at work right now). "Exploding down" wouldn't have made since anyways.

Appreciate the help.

Brent Hilton said...

Are the HHC's & HC's with a squat? New to the site ... sorry!

Anonymous said...

Thx Anon @ 7:10PM. I had the same questions.

M = "metcon"?

Is an all-out 200m close to 100% pacing in this protocol?
e.g.
35s for 200m TT (=100%?)
90%: 39s/200m
80%: 44s/200m
70%: 50s/200m

Laura said...

Yesterday's workout--a bit of a disaster.
1st mile done yesterday: 7:45
4min DU's--6 sets, a few mistakes starting out (darn floor joint). Then the wheels fell off--rotten old "stomach ache-kidney side" had to hobble out of OPT and lie down at home for over an hour, not fun.
So--finished rest of workout today.
mile run: 7:23, close to best time, and felt easy.
30 sec on/off DU's--all unbroken
Last mile run: no time, just tried to enjoy running,something new for me!

Overall not exactly as prescribed, but got it done eventually--that wouldn't have happened a year ago for sure!
Will do today's workout later tonight!

Clean complex. - 132#/142#/152#/157#/162#

AMRAP C2B/Squats. - 18/49. 10/40. 9/37

Aly Jansen said...

Intensity was lacking due to my mind racing with my ever increasing wedding to do list. 2.5 days and counting.

Used 35# DBs(wrists have been really sore lately) for all 5 rounds and focused on form more than anything.

No weight for C2B chins - just focused on doing as many as I could following the rx'd tempo. - Definitely getting better at these.

AMRAP Chins & Squats
1: 10/64
2: 10/55
3: 6*strict/61

I'll be MIA for the next week or so due to the pre wedding and wedding festivities (WED/THUR/FRI)and then we're heading to Fernie afterwards. (DBs and Buddy Lee will be joining us in Fernie :o)

See you all when I'm the new Ali Loach!

Mack Lar said...

Clean's 135/155/185/185/185 wouldn't normally count the round at 135 but I was running short on time.

Steve good shit today I'm hitting this after class.
Will post in couple hours.

Geoff Aucoin said...

Worked up to 162 for the complex;
I felt like I was gassing on this?!

35lbs for the pull-ups, started too light and I was gaurding my neck so the weight didn't get too high.

21-56/12-46/13-48 for 196 total reps. That hurt; both of those movements gas me hard on a good day.

rwcorson said...

Clean complex - 118/132/142/147/152
chins - all 3s, 5/7.5/12.5/17.5/22.5
My elbow has been hurting, so I kept the weight light
C2B/Squat - 10/52,9/51,8/46
didn't push to hard for C2B and I had no mental push for the squats

ROBO said...

200lbs for clean complex

245 CJx1
255 CJx1

CU 25lbs for all

Joel B. said...

Wife got a flat tire on the way home so she was late and I had the kiddos today. SO, my choice is late wod close to bed time after dinner or double up tomorrow. Or just skip today. I'll probably double up an a.m. and a p.m. wod tomorrow.

Is there any known best practices from the group or does this just boil down to personal choice? Any feedback appreciated!

SteveC said...

I took the MCAT today so I felt a little drained from that experience.

For loads:
Cleans: 135,145,155,165,175

Chin at tempo: 25/3,35/3,40/3,45/3,45/2

This is were I was just cooked.. no mental toughness today

Laura said...

Complex: 60/70/80/88/95--probably could have gone a bit higher, but my knee is starting to get cranky!

Chins: 20/22.5/27.5/30/32.5 --all 3's

C2B/Squats: 11/46; 9/40; 8/30. Maybe not my best effort here.

Clean Complex: 70/75/80/90/95kg (209#)
Weighted Chinups @ tempo: 25#x3/35#x3/35#x2/45#x2/55#x2

Chest to bar w/60s squats:
1) 22/58
2) 11/55
3) 9/49
Total: 204

Notes: On the complex, the high hang clean and hang clean was easier than the 3 full cleans. Not sure if I was getting tired by the time I hit the full cleans or if I wasn't effective in the transition. Strange indeed. From the outside looking in, I would have guessed that the complex would get easier. Good workout, I needed this weight training.

Body squats and C2B's sucked!

Brent Maier said...

I'm such a cherry lush! I'll be lucky to get this thing made before I eat them all. That looks fabulous Geoff, I'll give it a try. Thanks!

had to do pullups at public park as i don't have a pullup bar at home yet. did weighted on the monkey bar ladder rungs, but had to do CTB on the side. which was like a 3" pipe so i had room to kip, which killed my grip on the CTB pullups.

felt flat and worn down before the last part of the wod. was on the road for 6 hours of wonderful interstate 72. legs were aching all day from it, work was stressful and just plain mentally fried. looking forward to getting back on track

Michelle said...

Clean complex: 85, 95, 100, 105, 112.5 (felt SO compelled to be more aggressive with the increase on the last set...number I had to try was so clear to me...so I went with it...glad I did...)

weighted pu's: 15x3/20x3/25x3/30x2(weight slipped from legs on 3rd)/32.5x3 ('K' and I found a way to go up by increments of less than 5# at CFC!!!)


CTB/AS: 10/56, 9/50, 9/49
Lowering is too controlled on the CTB...I really think I need to try closing my grip. Keep talking about it, now I have to start working on it!

Had awesome company in Trevor, Kathleen and Grant at CFC tonight! Kathleen, I know I was talking a lot, but I just couldn't help it...I was so happy to see you!!!

@ CFC
Cleans: 74 84 89 94 99
C-ups: 15/3 20/3 25/3 30/2 32.5/2
[db kept slipping; used pronated grip; kipped on the bottom or there would be no explosive]
CTB/Sqts: 10/46 9/43 7/42
[used supinated grip; squats harder than I thought they would be]

Great to work out with you M!

Way to persevere Laura!!

Huge dawg howl for Ali - congrats -enjoy the day, you earned it!!!

unit said...

ha! surrey, thanks bro!...
however, it was a 1500m time (this is the distance done in the decathlon) and the mile conversion would be around 4:36... i.e. 69sec / 400m
wasn't sure if i could run sub 5, but after yesterday, i'm feeling pretty confident in a sub 4:50... maybe i'll have to test this sometime...
