2nd day of 5:45 WOD's feeling pretty good with it. 190 is the most I have ever clean and jerked and I was even trying to leave some there. It will interesting to see how AM WODS go when it is time for a serious gut check
Post WOD - 2 scoops Jarrow + 1 container banana baby food + 2.5 G of creatine
Best of luck, Brent! Represent the Big Dawgs!
ReplyDeletePC&J: worked up to 80kg (failed twice at 85kg in the jerk)

double unders - 8 sets of 30, was on 9 with 25 sec left and failed at 18 reps with 14 sec left. 9 sets doable and even 10. I took 10 breathes between sets.
clean and jerk- 172(had more but time ran out)

no pop on pc&j's, felt slow/tired. set damper at 9 for first row for some reason then to 10 for the rest. best power was achieved by keeping back vertical, and knees well past 90 at the catch; and foot pads at 2. I normally have feet set at 4. felt very good by the time i got to the du's.
pc+j- worked up to 195. felt good and defintely had a bit in the tank.

Felt good today after two days rest.
Good luck bro at competition!!!
To Steve Smith:
ReplyDeleteI've been through the exact same thing. The reason I got the headaches was that I was worrying about things. Worrying and stressing about it resulted in poor sleep. This lead to poor recovery. And all of that resulted in headaches when I started working out.
Solution: Stop worrying, just do.
Another reason could be low blood sugar.
Couldn't do WOD today. I'll be back monday and then get synced in with the 3-day cycle and kick some ass.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE THIS WEEKEND! Show 'em what you're made of.
forgot to mention...row damper on 10.

DUs: 7 rounds
Felt completely off today. Not enough sleep, just couldn't focus, weights felt really heavy. SGPP difficult for me, press up is easy, but lowering the weight puts a lot pressure on my lower back. Also feel off the rower seat. Although once I got to the DUs I felt great, didn't hit the rope once. By far best sets of DUs I have ever done.
Team, thanks for the support guys! The 3 Sat workouts will be posted at 6:00pm Friday evening. 1 of the 3 workouts on Sat will be chosen out of 5 submitted affiliate workouts of which several contain DU's. So, their note was to bring a rope, chances are we'll have them. Goodie! Bring on the muscle ups and some heavy lifts and we’ve got a party!

I'll keep everyone posted on how things are going. Wish I could fly you guys down here as I'm not going to have the entourage I had for the regional quals.

Steve Smith: On the headaches, mid way through my 3+ year career with Crossfit, I had a bout of this mysterious pain at the base of my skull that resonated into the brain. After a lot of research, you'll find a lot of talk about weightlifters headaches, sinus cavity infections, dehydration, etc. For me it came down to all speculation.
Symptoms: When doing pullups, when it hit, the difference of stopping there or continuing to do 3 more was the difference of a headache throb or falling to your knee's holding your head while trying to hold back from screaming. Attempting to jump up on the bar at that point was impossible because of the pain. Believe me, I tried to push through it. Impossible! Wide grip snatches with squats would fire it up as well.
I don’t think that the head throbbing from GHD’s and HSPU’s were directly related although it was pretty bad during this time. I still get those today on occasion but it is rare and dependent on the combination of exercises in the metcon. These are two different pains although this seems to have gotten much better. May be that the vessels have grown stronger under the repeated stress.
My remedy: First thing I did was back off immediately with ANY exercise that caused it to flare up. I was hesitant on getting a fast cycle on pull-ups for a while along with loading up heavy snatches. If you feel it, go into an immediate substitution and continue on with the workout. Before each workout, do upper body mobility stretches with the arms, shoulder blades, neck. Become best friends with the roller to work your spine from the back of the neck and down. This hurt me for a good 6 months off and on and eventually went away. Try to work with it, without injuring it. I think it was related to a pinched nerve in the shoulder blade region caused by heavy snatching and overhead squats with WIDE grip. Back then, I would put my hands out to the edge of the bar for flexibility reasons. Since then, I’ve moved in about 2 inches from the ends. For some reason though, pull-ups were the ONLY exercise where when it started, it was like 911, everything was about to come crashing down.
Sorry for the long post but if it is the same thing, I know what you’re going through. This worked for me so listen to your own body.
I just recently started waking up at 5:30 to do get these WOD's in before school. I was just curious if people do these WOD's on an empty stomach first thing in the morning or do they have so pre wod fuel?
ReplyDeleteClean and Jerk- Worked up to 140lbs.
ReplyDeleteSnatch Grip PP- 65, 75, 85, 90, 95- behind the head.. The up wasn't bad-it was the down I was hesitant with.
Sprint Row- 401, 437, 440, 460, 450
DU- 8 rounds, had 2 mess ups. Was aiming for 30 every 30 sec.
Wes- I work out early am too, and it usually depends on the wod. If it is going to be a non-sweaty weight lifting wod-i may have a snack, but if its a full on sweaty wod or anything anaerobic (and the thought makes my tummy hurt) then I don't.
Like all things nutrition you may have to play around with it and see what works best for you.
Wes - I also workout before school at around 6:30. In my experience I found that going on an empty stomach is best for me, if I get up and go directly to the gym. Although sometimes I might have some dried fruit beforehand if it more of a weight lifting WOD. Something you got to play with though, everyone is different.

Hixy, Brent, and anyone else interested - Thanks for the thoughts. I'll absolutely play around with yall's advice. Don't think it's stress/sleep, but I'll be honest with myself and think about this. Blood sugar is a good guess; I've noticed I'm starving as of late. Brent, you're dead on in your description of the pain - back of skull, radiates through entire head, debilitating. It's a very different sensation than the throbbing from HSPU or GHD sit-ups. Ironically, I'm right about year three as well. I'm hesitant to sub as this kind of stuff tends to go away for me with time, but damn, this is painful.
I appreciate your thoughts, sincerely. I'll let you know how things go.
For everyone else, thanks for tolerating the long posts.
Lauren, from now on Metcon = Full On Sweaty WOD, and Weightlifting = Non-Sweaty WOD. Hilarious.

ReplyDeleteWes--I workout in the morning(b/w 5:30 and 6 am start)
ReplyDeleteI eat a handful of nuts. If the work out is all heavy lifting with rest time (not metcon) I bring food to eat during the work out.
September 10, 2009 2:26 PM
Tough day for me... i ate 4 brazil nuts at lunch today and 2 hours later i was very sick to my stomach with my head in the toliet. I googled brazil nut and vommitting and i guess those nuts are very high in selenium which can lead to toxicity, and i had all the symptoms. I had eaten those 2 times prior to this a few months ago and i had the same sick feeling but never puked, but it wasnt until the 3rd time eating them (today) that i figured it out, STAY AWAY FROM BRAZIL NUTS. GEEZ
ReplyDeleteso anyways i gave this wod a go but it was performed at a very low intensity as my stomach is still off and my energy levels are low...

Brent, good luck on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteScotty, good luck on the weekend. Us older dudes need to stick together.
Garage, tough going.
Wes, I really think it depends on the WOD. An intense metcon with an empty gut is okay. Heavy lifting for loads with an empty gut, might not work as well. If it's a combo, I think empty is better.
Also, check out the Games main page. Past champs never have to qualify again. Congrats Coach.

Joey-
ReplyDeleteI fuel doubles/triples pretty much the same: liquid PWO nutrition immediately following, then solid food about 45 min later. What I eat in this meal depends on what the next workout is, and how much of a break I have btwn WODs. (eg: more carbs if more endurance oriented, with some protein and fats) I eat more if I have a longer break, less for a shorter one. After the workouts are done, I usually eat more than on a regular day.

ReplyDeleteSnatch Grip PP - 45/55/65/75/85 *never done these before and wrist was acting up so I didn't push it too much.
Row - The first two rounds I wrote the avg wattage....realized when I was reading over it during my second rest period so I decided to do 2 extra and write down the RIGHT numbers :o)
363/374/355/411/409 - I think the purpose of the workout actually started to sink in during the last two rounds. Looking forward to doing this again and actually USING my brain :o)
DUs - 4 rounds (rats)
steve c, depends on your goals...if you want to become more fit, there is no recommendation i can give you...if its specialization - see Everett's site...he includes some short met cons along with oly stuff...enjoy
ReplyDeleteSuper short for time but HAD to get some oly work in so got a quick power clean and jerk session in at CFC.
ReplyDeleteWorked up to 185# with lots left which matched my previous squat clean and jerk PR. Thinking that is most likely a lot higher now.

DUs: 0 rounds! have a nike jprope and it kept twisting around its self, there by making itself shorter and then catching my feet. most i got to was low 20's. switched to beaded rope for last 2 mins but shoulders were too smoked to turn it over for 30 straight.
Liked this wod a lot!
