Deadlift: was definitely feeling my lower back in these
GHD: no major issues here
Part 2 (approx. 1 hour rest)
2:58
Didn't really have much for expectations going into today given that I was so trashed from the past 2 days (yesterday afternoon's WOD in particular) but managed a Power Clean PR and the met-con under 3 mins. Looking forward to a day of rest.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Part 1.
PC'S 135x3,145x3,155x3,165x1,175x1,

-----------------------------------
Deads= 1rm = 405, used 225 tho
-felt really strong here
-----------------------------------
-subbed goodmornings for last part...used 75lbs (no GHD)
Are the DL's to be performed westside barbell style? Each one explosive and for speed with a complete reset at the bottom? Thanks.

Subbed 3 x 16 of Good morning with barbell
Todays first WOD looked like a typical effort/speed/volume day seen in the advanced ME black box that was discussed briefly in the latest issue of Performance menu. Would anyone be able to tell me where I could find additional reading on effort/speed/volume training such as this, I am very interested in it
James---
i dont have your email but i wanted to have you insite on something. My wife wants to get into crossfit program. but she is someone that is coming from i guess you could say a complete sedetary lifestyle and i dont obviously want to jump her into the big dawg program. I just want your opinion where i should get her started she is 5'0'' 118lbs. She has been sidelined for a while with a knee injury and has kind of lost her confidence to start a program if you have the time i would love to hear what you think. and other big dawgs if you wanna comment as well please email me.

Rob not sure if you are aware of this site but Jeff Martin puts up scaled WOD's for each day of the mainsite WOD's. I know i am not coach but I figured I would share this with you nonetheless

I am gassed. I emptied my tank during yesterday's part 2. I feel like I hurt myself on a cellular level. If that makes any sense. I just feel tired and run down. I guess that means my diet needs some work. A rest day is going to feel great!
Rob, regarding your wife. I used the brand x scaling for my wife at first and it worked great. Especially the nameing (buttercups, puppies, pack etc.) After a few weeks she didn't want to be a buttercup, so she worked hard to do the puppy wods. Then she didn't want to be a puppy anymore and now she is on the pack scaling. It can be a good motivator. I can tell you that training your wife is as dangerous to your relationship as teaching her how to ski. You have to be PATIENT and KIND!!!! No point in having to sleep on the couch because you laughed at the face she makes when she does pull ups. You get the idea.
Wes and Paul thanks ill take a look at that we had a run at it this morning something like..
2min 1 min rest bt
air squats
push ups
sit ups
step ups
it went ok for the squats but its going to take alot to get her comfortable with being uncomfortable. i will be patient it is frustrating but will work with her..

DL 235lbs

I had to do this in a gym on post that didnt have bumpers and i let the bar go a a few times forgetting that. i got some bad stares from the meat heads in the gym over by the cable curls.
I am about to do part 2 although i dont have a rower at the house so i am going to sprint the distance.
if anyone else has any more suggestions about my wife i would appreciate it. post on here or email me bigrob0077@gmail.com
part 2:
2:49
Had a timer beep for me every 30 seconds to let me know where I was. Row was 1:43.
This is the first time in awhile I am looking forward to a rest day. This last 3 day cycle before every WOD I did full body trigger point therapy. And post WOD full body PNF stretching and foam rolled sore spots. Along with 5 min shower as cold as water gets. My recovery from day to day seemed good. Had a great resting heart rate upon waking on day 2 and today. I found day 1 to be the toughest
Done!
2nd: 2:37 row was 1:33:8
Thanks a ton Scotty. Had a really good time up here in Portland.
Had a lot more energy this cycle than I expected. 4 hour drive home, and looking forward to the 2 days off.
part 1 -had to cut it short due to time constraints.
PC 3x185,3x185, 3x195
DL 6 sets at 225
1 set of ghd raises
part 2- 10 mins rest 2:52.
tomorrow active rest with basketball.
Notes on the past 3 days:
I worked 2, 12 hour night shifts this weekend and work another tonight. This makes it tough in regards to sleep/rest/fueling/warm-up cfor doubles. I don't sleep well during the day and I felt gassed today during the cleans. The weight felt super heavy today. I may have to tweak what I do during doubles when they fall on work days as the rest/recovery is too tough to manage. I will be getting plenty extra work on the side with basketball and soccer shortly as it is. Tomorrow is active rest with basketball.
Part 2
Time 4:42
rowed .4 mile on a Stamina ATS 1400 rower.
Great 3 day set coach, I really enjoyed it. Reminded me of college football 2-day practices, were your body is screaming and you just have to keep on moving.

part 2:
2:36
500m row took me 130.2
I felt pretty tired going into this one, but was able to push myself here and all weekend long... overall I felt really good, well rested, and my nutrition was on point. Ready for a couple days off and back at it again. Im trying to push around heavier weights cuz thats a weakness of mine... hopefully if I focus on that when they appear in the workouts, I will gradually get stronger...
Any other suggestions on how to get my max lifts a little higher. I feel it limits me some, for example, this morning I could power clean 245, but could not squat clean it cuz I was failing in the front squat. If my front squat was higher, I could squat clean more weight. Any suggestions are appreciated. And thanks OPT for all the hard work you put into this.
JW
Part 2
Time 3:04
rowed .4 mile on a Stamina ATS 1400 rower as the time for this distance better compares to what my time has been on a 500m done on a C2.
finished burpees right at 1:30, using a shoulder width stance with my feet really improved my endurance and turnover on burpees. was shooting for under 3 mins when i glanced at the clock near the end, but it took a few more pulls to finish. was trying to focus on PC to row with as my quads would have smoked way to easily on the row. Also couldn't use much of a lay back as my abs are shot.
Don't feel sore exactly, just really worn down. Awesome 3 days Coach! You have successfully turned my 4 day weekend into a 1 day, and I regret nothing. Awesome job this weekend big dawgs!!! Looking at everyones posts kept me motivated and pumped for every wod...
Part 2, 2:15pm
2:52' (1:37 row)
PWO: 40p/20c Tuna, coconut water
This was a great weekend of training; thanks so much for stopping by, Chris! We'll make it down your way soon.
Feeling very good thru this cycle. The first 3 days created more soreness than usual for sure. My energy levels have stayed very good all weekend. Spent lots of time doing SMR/joint mobility/stretching sequences/contrast showers, etc...and sleeping a lot. Thanks, James!
part 2:
3:32
Felt like I was going to pass out on last 100 m. Happy with this effort though, really dug in hard. Goal was 4 min. Ready for a rest day, great cycle. Still really pumped about setting that PR on the cleans. Never thought it would come at the end end of a tough cycle like this one.

Last 3 days were all in all good. Recovering nicely from a ankle injury and me running feels way stronger. My recovery during the WODS is also improving. I need a better warm up routine, I'm playing with fire cause I just "grip it and rip it". Looking forward for the 2 day break.
Power clean-
135,145,155,160,170,180
Deadlift-
190
Goodmornings with bar.
Skipping part 2 to let calf rest and have some family time. Gonna try to get better at staying on track. Probably not going to do the doubles every time they come up but I think I can get better at handling the workload. Really, really excited about these workouts. They're stretching me mentally and physically.
Part 1: 195,205,215(PR)
225(PR),235f,235f
DL's at 195
5 min rest
Part 2: 3:01
Felt really good today. PR's on both sets of PC's. 235 will go, I just need to work on getting under the bar a little more. Somewhere around 205lb I stop dropping under the bar and my feet start to spreadout to get myself lower. Mental thing.
Burpees went fast. Row was at 1:44. Row again was the limiting factor for me. No choice but to hit them back to back. This was less painful than the wrath of my loving wife had I doubled up on a sunday afternoon.
All in all a great weekend. Not tremendously sore. Did some hot cold shower after day 1 but nothing since. Only variable is that I've been hitting the Refuel hard PWO this week. Big lesson relearned is that I need to forget about pacing workouts to attain a better time. I paced Flight Simulator hoping that all unbroken would give the best time. Still had some broken rounds and my time sucked. Same with 175lb C&J's. Big weight for me so I didnt want any failures, thinking that they required as much effort as successful lifts. From here on out I will hit it hard everytime and focus on increasing work capacity by grinding it out. Thanks for a great week Coach.
Part 1:
Power Clean: 150X3, 155X3, 160X3, 175, 180, 185 (pr)
DL: 150X10X2
3X16 GHR's --on Roman chair against wall
Felt great to PR on PC, and actually might have had a little more in me.
Part 2: 3:15
500m row was 1:43. Burpees are much faster than my pre-OPT blog following days, but still could get faster apparently. That and maybe my transition was slow.
My body was more sore today than yesterday. I think the squat cleans took an extra day to kick in. That and my fueling and sleep was not normal last night.
How do you all warm up for the 2nd on these multiple WOD days? Full/normal warm up or shortened? I have been doing a shortened one and just wondering if that is up to snuff.
Surrey and all:
I just read the comments from last night, and I may have done the HSPU yesterday wrong. I did them with my thumb and index inside the 21.5" mark and not my whole hand. Looks like maybe I did it wrong I guess and that would make a difference in my time. Not sure how much. I guess I should stick to copy+paste+print the WOD like I usually do.
Part 1 –
135# , 165, 195, 215, 225 pr, 235x
200# DL
Completed 3 sets of GHD raises, dont know the time
Part 2 – subed run for row
30 burpees, 500m run

Reflections:
Got more sleep than usual. It really helped. I was surprised I could still get a pr on PC after the three days. The 25 Squat PC's for time was a big mental battle. It's been great. Thanks OPT. pr's on double unders and power clean. But ready for a rest.

Part 2:

Off the burpees at 1:12. Row was 1:47; I paced it a little too much; ended up with some in the tank, which I didn't want. Still, goal was 3:30 or better so I was pleased with the outcome.
Effort was good this weekend. Have a lot to work on, particularly (everything) stength-related.
Thanks, James, for a fun and challenging week.
Congrats, Dawgs, on some fine performances.
Hope everyone enjoys their rest.
Only had time for part 2 before the gym closed and had to do it after back to back games of IM basketball. A disappointing 3:39. Everything was unbroken but there was really no pop to the burpees and no explosiveness on the row. However I am excited by all the prs on the PC, I will definitely hit part 1 tomorrow.
I can echo that there are both rewards and dangers in training the girlfriend...but my girlfriend has used the Brandx scaling for a while and likes it.
unit, 4 wods on 4 hours of sleep? 1 hour for each wod I guess...get out of here man!

HI HONEY I'M HOME!!!
I'm glad to see all the Big Dawgs again putting up great numbers over the weekend. Garage and I got back into the states late last night after the cert and I gotta say, for the one millionth time, the CrossFit community is the shit! Everyone was very welcoming and the trainers were great as expected.
I got a couple technique points hammered into me, so with that in mind know I have the bigger Big Dags squarely in my sights now!!
I'm resting up and looking forward to getting after it later this week!
HHOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!
Good to see Garage front-and-center of the group photo in his OPT hoodie. Josh, where's the baby blue shorts man? I'm guessing David X is to the left?
http://www.crossfit.com/mt-archive2/VegasTorontoL1L2Oceanside091011.html
Geoff, that's me in the bright ass day glow sweatshirt with the snaggly ass beard working the slump.
Toronto Cert was a good time.... Fran on a 2 inch fat bar...fun
We've recruited some new big dawgs, so start posting boys..... WHOOOFF!
Toronto Cert was sick indeed. Great meeting you guys both! The cert was definitely what I needed to get fired up for the big dawg workouts. Set a new PR for Fran during the cert despite the fat bar and torn up blisters, Great times all around!
Good meeting you Josh and David, Thanks to OPT in advance for the awesome programming, and can't wait to get into it.
Cheers!
Adam Ball
David and Josh congrats on the cert.
For anyone with a C2 rower keeping it in a garage. Do you bring the rower inside during the winter, or will it stand up to the elements?
Thanks Adam. It was great meeting you too!
Pat. I've always kept mine in the garage without problem. I do oil up the chain, clean the rail and the damper vent around now just to keep in running smooth.
Finished part 1 this afternoon.
PC: 175x3, 180x3, 185x3, 190x1, 200x1 (pr), 210f
DLs: 175x2x10
GHDs - raises on matt w/feet anchored.
Funny...I definitely was feeling a little bit run down by today, but the weight on the PC just didn't feel that heavy. I didn't even struggle with that 10 pound pr. I'm sure it has something to do with that 25 squat C&J workout, but to me that is still pretty crazy to pr something after three doubles in three days. But hey...I'll take it - and thanks Coach!
Still have a bit of a cold that I cought travelling with family all weekend, but had an horrible day at work and I had to let some steam out. So trained a bit.
1. Gave myself 60 mins on "flight simulator" and didn't even make the 50-set. Embarrasing, but in that way that I need to get better on it. However, a few weeks back I couldn't even do unbroken DUs so I guess it will just have to keep practising. Thanks for showing me where I suck coach.
2. narrow HSPU-GHD etc: 18 minutes. Slow. Very slow.
3. Power clean: 3-3-3-1-1-1: 60kg, 70kg, 75kg, 82.5kg, 87.5kg, 90kg (f)
4. Burpee-row: 3:06. Got stuck getting into rower and lost some time there.

This was a rough 3 days for me. I am glad that I moved from the MainSite WODs to here. I am clearly being challenged more here and love every minute of it.
I need some help w/ jerks. The flight simulator was tough as I kept messing up just shy of 30 after the round of 35 on the way up. Power cleans could/should be heavier...just didn't have it.
Flying all over the place here. Getting caught up on posting and WODs.
