Nice work bro!... Freakin beast!... But I think I need 2 relink that 585 DL attempt from a few wks back bc it obviously hasn't pissed u off enough yet.... Or it could be ur ruck marching and running like a distance runner...
Press was tough due to some shoulder pain. I think BS was a few pounds short of a PR. Deads felt good but I was a bit shot allready.Failed @ 405#. PR is 400#
Team, I'm in 7th place and the finals are in 2 hours. I'm within 1 min from 3rd. Legs are hamburger and this wod is destroying people. This one is for the big dawgs. There will be blood!
Squat: 209.4 (PR, up 34 lbs from last CFT) Press: 121.2 (Same as last CFT) Deadlift:308.6 (PR, up 22 lbs from last CFT) -------- Total: 639 lbs (up 52 lbs from last CFT)
Felt awesome today! First time cracking 200 and 300 for the squat and dead. Probably got 5 more on the dead. Squat finally going up, learning to pull with my hamstrings.
Could have possibly done more on Squat but sky was starting to get dark out and I do this stuff out of my car in a parking lot across from my school, so I didn't want it to start storming and not get to finish. With DL I am positive I could have done more but right after I did it, I started to hear thunder. Oh well maybe next time
Played with the low bar BS today for the first time. Got my back squat up quite a bit from what I have been doing recently... With that being said I feel like my BS could see a substantial increase with a little better technique. DL PR is 505# from the games... didn't expect to match that performance today... pretty happy with 484#
Finished todays workout in 13 something. Dropped from 7th to a final 11th place. Competition was fierce and I came out a stronger better man.
They started us on staggard starts based on our time difference from the leader on the final heat. Using the fuel of knowing where everyone else is went out the window with this. Backed it down to constant singles on the last 4 rounds with burpee's in a quick 5/4 and unbroken pullups on all rounds. It cost me but it could have been worse. It was tough pulling it around today before go time. Too much going on mentally and too sore to get in good warmup.
Last year they had 34 competitors and this year they had over 120+. This was the size of our regionals last year. My point is that this sport is getting harder every day. Train hard guys and keep stepping up your game.
I hung out with Matt Chans Crossfit Verve folks most of the time this weekend. Seeing all of the competing affiliates and the support everyone gives made me realize it's not about the destination, it's about the journey. Thanks for everyones support and sharing the same passion.
Now kick it up a notch starting tomorrow! You heard me! Ouuuu
18 min 2 set 3 max's... Kinda rushed 2day but here they were...
Squat - 365 / 385(f)... A yr ago I was at 365x5 Press - 175 (pr is 185) Dead Lift - 465 / 505 (f)... No belt, got it off the ground but couldn't hold tight and finish the pull... Pr is 500...
Went in very late today, and was lacking confidence. Figured I'd just do some back squats and see how I felt. Turned out to be pretty damn good. The BS matched my pr from 2 years ago this Nov., and the DL is 10lbs better then my best at the qualifiers. I took the SP from the ground because that's what got me my best but couldn't match it today. After the squats i was pretty focused on the DL.
Plus the kids got to play in the empty gymnastics facility before bed; and mamma loves that.
unit- I was tying to channel the Anvil this evening. your recent 500 has been a big motivator for me.
I'd been trying to be ok w/ giving up some strength to make some gains in speed and endurance, but after seeing the numbers you, Rory, Steve, Rob, Dj, and others are putting up, I'll settle for all of it.
OPT/ James, I am a non-affiliated (self training) crossfitter. I am pretty light (about 130 lbs, 5'-6" and 35 old Male) I do pretty well on most WODs but I'm still in need of some strength to really compete at some WODs (heavy high rep cleans, or heavy DL, etc) all bodyweight moves I do well on as well as most metCon stuff.. I don't really train for those. That training is a dirivitive of just training hard in gereral, in my opinion. (of course there are many finer points to improve your runs, etc, but I'd rather work on the stuff to get my weaker points up.. Anyhoo, I'm also a type 1 diabetic, and have been zoning on about 14 blocks (2-3X fat) for a few months now. I do feel a bit imporved, but that may be a bit psycological. I do feel a bit of a bonk when I cheat a few meals in a row and then workout... Well, I was wondering what your thougts were on eating in relation to diabetes and zoning. I mean I automatically am in control of how much insulin I have, since I am giving it to myself for every bunch of carbs that I ingest. I think that good food and good work produces good results, but what are your thoughts on how I can expect my results with the zone since I'm in manual control of my insulin? p.s. my CrossFit desire is multifaceted... I mean I miss competition and that's great, but it's self competition.. health and fitness is paramount.. that said, I would like to be able to do well at possibly next years games. There is a good box that I may start training at on the weekends (I have 2 kids and that is a #1 responsibility) so between work and working out, I think 1-2 WODs at the affiliate will be all I can afford (both financially as well as time wise away from the family) Thanks in advance for any and all your advice and ideas. Good luck with your training as well. (antongross@hotmail.com) Best, Anton Gross
Just couldn't get to this yesterday; family in town visiting.
I wasn't too sure how this total would go, as my left knee and hip has been giving me some trouble for a while. Actually, I have an appointment later today with my chiro, so I'll see what's up.
BS: 270 About where it normally is, def. good for some more if no inhibition from the knee. Press: 130 - down 10# from a couple of weeks ago. Shoulders still cooked from push presses and double unders from Saturday. DL: 360 Ties my recent bests. Some inhibition again, felt strong here, though. Good for more if knee was happy, tried to keep my shoulders back more than I usually do. 760 total. Then, did the am workout from today. PWO: would have done 40p/20c had I done this alone. See tomorrow's post.
Squat - 341.7 (155kg) pr by 10 Press - 165.4 (75kg) had to be careful of my neck as I slipped a disc straining on this move 2 weeks ago. My PR is around 180 Dead - 486.6 (220.5kg) pr by 17
This was a good day after a god awful 2 weeks of bad eating and no consistency in my training. 1000 is well with reach.
Squat: 110kg (fail on 120kg, pr is 130...) Press: 65kg (fail on 67,5kg, haven't failed 67.5kg in about one year) Deadlift: 170kg (backed off early, PR here is 185kg)
Really louse CFT. Worst for years. Took part in a CrossFit competition here in Sweden i 10 days ago, and that might still be putting my body down (hard training before that as well). Well, well. It's not how you handle success, but how you handle failure I guess.
What do you usually do when you have this happening to you (REALLY subpar performance in the 1RM)?
X marks the spot
Oooooh, I've been waiting to do this one.
ReplyDeleteOff to Victoria until Wednesday with little time to sneak in any WODs.
I'll be watching from the outside.
Good luck!!
A WOD worthy of the Barbell Cert we're at this weekend!
ReplyDeleteDAVID X HOWWWWWLLLLLLLLLL
ReplyDeleteready to crush this....
Last CFT on OPT was mid Feb.
ReplyDeleteBS- 295 , 305(F) up 10 from Feb
P- 163(PR) up 18 from Feb
DL- 442(PR) up 20 from Feb
Total- 900
Was super rushed this morning and only got 1 shot at 305 on the squat. Had 20 mins to finish both the press and DL.
Might have had a bit more in the DL but was already late so never got a shot to fail on the DL.
Squat remains a major weakness. It was ok during a SS cycle a year back, but dropped quickly after and is relatively stagnant now.

Squat - OK, so maybe my PR is 505#, but I REALLY have my doubts. Either the stars aligned on that day, or we added kilos wrong.
Press - Feels like a weakness. Pleased with the PR though.
Deads - PR is 495, from the games. Wanted to get close today, which I was pleased with.
Team, I'm in 7th place and the finals are in 2 hours. I'm within 1 min from 3rd. Legs are hamburger and this wod is destroying people. This one is for the big dawgs. There will be blood!
