strategy going in was to do Pullups in 2x20 and 6x10 but that wasn't going to happen. everything else went as planned. I learned that fractioning is probably the best bet for a lower time as opposed to what I typically would have done and that is do a many as possible from the start and then kind of struggle through to the end.
Thanks Gord

Strategies
pullups: plan was 22-20-18-16-14-10. I still think reducing the number of reps per set is a good fractioning strategy, but need to play with number of sets and decrement to avoid failure.
pushups: Holy crap I suck at these. Once I get close to failure I need SO MUCH rest time to recover. This is the one exercise that never improved since I started Xfit. Any suggestions? I am at a total loss of why I am so poor at pushups.
situps: It's all mental, just push trough it.
BE: wanted 50-50, but had to break it up. Think 4x25 would have been optimal

Ali, Good job on getting the push ups done, I can totally relate with you on that for today!
In the long run does it make sence to go to failure consistanty in training as a method of tackling wods, or is it better to "pace"/fraction during a wod for a better time or score? For the longest time I tried to pace for better times and I feel like I've wasted years of potential mental training, more specifically the ability to push my body. These wods we've done that specify unbroken sets and maximal rest time are phenominal in the way they can train your mind. Now getting a taste of pushing beyond I in constant worry of not just losing a mental edge, but that familiarity with the limit, and knowing my bodies limit and how the body can keep moving when at the limit. or maybe a combination of both is called for. And maybe I have been reduced to incoherent rambling do to the mind numbing nature of my job...

ReplyDeletepushups 5:58 - 20x5 - I went yoga downward facing dog twice (once in the 4th set and 5th set). Knees never touched but fricking arms cramped all the way through 4th and 5set which made lockout towards the end tough.

As a side note i took a good friend through her first crossfit workout this morning used the one off the main site for today with some modifications - she did great and she has already booked her first assessment at crossfit London for when she gets home!!!

Pullups were the toughest for me. Broke them down to minimum required reps.
Last set of pushups I rested for a couple seconds at rep 15 in the plank position. Thank god for the 5min rest. I was freakin hurtin after the pullups/pushups. I nearly cried.
Situps were steady and unbroken. At rep 75, i debated taking a short rest before doing last set of 25 but decided to grind it out with no rest. Now just need to speed them up.
B/E's...flew through these. took only a few seconds rest between sets.
Ok, I can't resist.

Strategy for pullups was to get 30-40 first set based on how i felt, then take a long enough break after first set to recover then bang out sets of 10 with minimal breaks....this was much harder than the regular 100 pullups for time which my pr is 3:50

Pull ups-6:43 I wanted 15x2, then 10's, but did 15x4, then 10s. I think I had to rest too much to do this. It's big difference doing this as opposed to my Angie 100 pull ups, which are around 5:15, but much more broken.
ReplyDeletePush ups-7:29 I wanted 20's and did 20's. The last set was ugly. I need more work on keeping the speed high.
Sit ups- 2:37 I wanted to do 100 and did. I think the speed can be higher in the later reps, so something to work on.
Back ext- 3:27 I wanted to do 60, 20,20 and did 60, 40. I think I rested too much between and maybe should have tried for 80, 20 or even 100.
Total time - 20:16
I think that for me, going to the higher # of reps with the pull ups & push ups at this point in time isn't the best strategy, as I take to long to recover before I can get that high number again. In saying this, it should be my goal to get the higher reps and then be able to repeat them again with less rest.

Comments: having a minimum number certainly changes things. I liked it for pullups, felt like it made me bust out more reps each time I got on the bar than I otherwise would have. I hated it for pushups because I knew I would suck and have to rest a lot after the first two sets. Each set past the 10x1, which I didn't count, was essentially to positive failure. I am almost as terrible at sit ups as I am at pushups, so I suppose this was good practice.

My total working time was 17:28. As a reference, my PR Angie (granted Hip extensions are different beast than squats) is 10:59.
I find more success in shorter work cycles with shorter rest when i approach failure. Today, based on my abilities in each of these, it was tough to accept longer rest to achieve higher counts per set, and it really slowed me down. However, the repeated bouts of increased volume will pay dividends towards my failure point.

David X, for you its based on how you perform...i've trained many who have lost a lot of weight and gotten stronger and those who have gained weight and gotten weaker. we are destined to work at a certain engine threshold for a time period. the milk thing is largely based on "weight gain"...and Rip and i had a brief and not too long of a discussion on this about weight gain and power output (i'm just mentioning this assuming your milk strategy) by using the GOMD theory...and b/c i have seen it so often and have improved peoples absolue strength and relative strength without them gaining weight...there just are not the numbers within out sport that justify that timely weight gain for a better power output over time.
ReplyDeleteif your idea around GOMD is for protein/fats/carbs...find other sources...seeing that you can get it raw makes it definitely worthwhile as a "portion" of your daily routine...but maybe not a staple.
here is the basics; milk is fine raw, most have a hard time with it and their immune system, my data would show that it IS NOT the best method of REAL weight gain (remember that the beginning promoters of this are powerlifters, NOT....and i repeat NOT CrossFitters, no matter how they package it)...there are other methods that include hormonal regulation and correct training that can help that...
hope that makes you just think about it a little more without answering it...
Josh, you bet you'll have a heads up...will outline it soon

ReplyDeletewent in wanting to knock out a good chunk with the first set, but not kill myself. Broke my prior PR of reg pullups without even skirting failure. Probably could have rested less but was messing with muscle recruitment focus. Working on activating back more after the Kip instead of more arms, really seemed to help and show up in the later sets.
Pushups - 6:02 (20/20/20/20/20)
after 40 my tris and shoulders were disconnecting from my mind, kinda felt like a puppet master pulling at strings with a removed feeling from the movement. Big suck fest. Tried my best to keep form respectible and good with it. Maybe next time 25's would be ideal to eliminate a set.
Situps - 3:58 (100)
kept what I felt was a good pace, again probably could have paced a little faster at the end or started sprinting sooner than last 10.

Backextentions - 4:02 (20/20/20/20/20)
my lower back has been sore and ache all weakens going into today due to my upper back, so I'm not surprised I was fatiguing fast on these. The pacing felt ok on these. 25's probably would have optimal.
Ok, so i just saw the wmv of the GOMAD....and this is what happens
ReplyDeletemy version:
day 1; back squat 315, BF% - 8%, eat well, train hard, sleep, Fran 4:00
day 45: back squat 335, BF% - 8%, eat well, train hard, sleep, Fran 3:30
day 90: back squat 355, BF% - 8%,eat well, train hard, sleep, Fran 3:00
other version:
day 1; back squat 315, BF% 12%, GOMAD, train hard, sleep, Fran 7:00
day 45: back squat 395, BF% 16%, GOMAD, train hard, sleep, Fran 6:50
day 90: back squat 355, BF% 15%, non GOMAD, train hard, sleep, Fran 6:45
now there ARE other versions, the thing you have to remember when someone says "gained weight" is that ANYONE can gain weight, i repeat ANYONE can gain weight...BUT...just what kind of weight is that AND is it measured weight
secondly, as i mentioned to Rip, if he can show me 50 guys who can put 40 lbs on and improve their 5K Run from 20 to sub 20 minutes, and get 55-60 chin ups AND then Dead Lift 450#...then you'll get my attention...but when you take average fitness enthusiasts and put 10# of muscle on and 30# of fat...i can also guarantee that you'll get stronger...
my question is, why not just do it by methods of training and not just weight gain...doesn't that make much more sense in the sport of fitness?...seeing strength gains ARE mainly nervous system changes depending on where you are on the curve of learning in the iron game...why not tap that out 1st?
another thing...if you have "gas" all day, you're wasting a shit load of money to just destroy your gut, ad NO it is not normal to have gas all day..sorry
maybe i should not watch any more videos

SitUps: They were a little slower but were all unbroken. Slapped ground beside feet on each rep. Didn't use abmat today.
Back Extensions: Rushed into the last set and back locked up at 18. Had to fall off and regroup for a last stand of 25. Brutal when you can't take these in 5-10's which are my grinders.
Unbroken Thoughts: Forcing me to wait until I can perform these unbroken clearly bring out my weakness because I can't hide them by ripping through them in small numbers. Pushups are my nemesis and are progressing very slowly.

fractioning went about as planned... a little too ambitious on the pushups but if i don't push it i'll never learn...
Crazy schedule today, so I threw some workout clothes in the truck and found a park when I had the chance. Ended up doing this on kiddie play structure for the pull ups.
ReplyDeletePullups: 9:47
done on rings with legs bent at knees to avoid dragging. 10X10, and it was tough.
Pushups: 6:22
tried for 30, 25, 25, 20. Actual, 30, 25 with a long pause in plank at 15, and very slow last 10, 25 broken at 15, and 20, and last set of 20 broken at 15.
situps: 3:24
25X4
back extensions: 3:30
20X5--did these on a park picnic table with my legs under the table surface and my pelvic region on the bench. It sucked...in more ways than one. Decreased range of motion due to ground, but I had to keep tension throughout the movement with my legs/hammies and back to avoid faceplanting. Serious burning. Oh, and it was uncomfortable to say the least on the midsection.
I should have gone for sets of 20 on the pushups for sure. I was forced into doing smaller fractions on the pullups due to the equipment. However, for me, if I am going to fraction for faster overall time, it is better to keep it manageable with short rests. I was overambitious on the pushups.
Oh, and I am down to 156#'s PWO today. Wasn't too much sweat either as I was outside and it was cold and drizzly. I need to eat more, maybe. But, I tried eating quite a lot and tweaking my workouts last fall. Part was my fault for not having the know-how WOD wise, but I got a little stronger, and weighed 190 and metcon was in the TANK. I am following you, coach.
Pull-up: 11:02 10 x 10
ReplyDeletePush-up: 6:52 20x5
Sit-up: 6:48 25x4
BE's: 5:16 20x5
PWO fuel: 40g isopure Whey, large apple
Lessons learned: Grip strength going in later sets of pullups. Later rounds of pullups and pushups CNS was fired.
I just watched the GOMAD video and I went mad. One of the trainers from our barbell cert was the first person they talked to. He's a big fan of weight belts, too.
ReplyDelete1. Pullups 6:26 20 then 10's through. could have gone sub 6 but my hands felt like they were gonna tear so i backed off a bit.
ReplyDelete2. Pushups 35, 20, 17, 20, 15, 20, 5 (these were super tough for me. Not sure why. I was hitting muscle failure real bad.)
3. Situps 4:00 70, 30
4. Back ext. 3:01
1. I suck at pull ups. This was tough to do 10 sets of ten reps. I dropped two sets for a total time of 11:05

ReplyDeletePush ups-4:15/5x20
Sit ups(unanchored)-4:37/50,2x25
Back ext-3:37/50,20,30
Tried not to go to failure so I could possibly take shorter rests for a faster time.
pull-ups: 4:57 (30-15-10-10-10-10-15). Strategy going in was 25-25-15-15-10-10 but the first round felt good so tried to go for a few extras and paid for it in later rounds.
ReplyDeletepush-ups: 8:25 (got my ass kicked) 20-20-10-10-10-10-10-10 (I wanted to go for 20 each round but my arms were fried after pull ups
sit-ups: 3:32 unbroken (was determined to redeem my poor push-up performance so wouldn't let myself give up)
GHD back extensions: 3:36 (4 sets of 25) again decided to push through. Had originally thought about 2x50 but back was on fire at 25.
