What is 51x1? Thanks for the help.
It is the tempo. It means 5 sec eccentric, 1 second pause on the ground, explosive concentric (on the way up), 1 second pause at the top.
depaul -
-thanks for your clarifications on the tempo and eccentric concentric explanation. I have never seen programming like this very interesting and technical.
Sorry for for total newbie questions but trying to plan ahead for wod in the morning.
1. is the weight for a snatch grip dl and power clean going up each set for a max out?
2. no ghd what do you guys do to sub?
thanks a bunch in advance!
tomorrow will be my first day following OPT's programming. I know that I missed the first two training days of this series, but I am excited to get rolling.
I've was following the Main Site for quite some time now and OPT's WODs look nothing like the Main Site's. Can someone point me in the direction of where I may be able to understand the vernacular of the prescribed training?
For Example:
- What do "A.", "B1.", "B2.", "C" signify?
- "4-6 x 5", "15-20 x 3" are reps x sets?
- what is "51x1" and "2020"?
- rest prescribed is between sets?
Sorry for all the questions. I look forward to making the switch from Main Site to this!
also, what percentage of your daily intake should the balanced PFC meal that is eaten 45-60 minutes after PWO be? Fat multiples are still OK in this meal, correct?
hey guys go to the following link for FAQ to answer all of the questions you just asked and for anybody who has future questions

Doug, yes, generally speaking females are more carb tolerant than males...when the intensity changes, so does the carb fuelling post workout for males and females as well...
Martin
I don't have a GHD either. I have a BOSU ball (hopefully you know what that is) that i put on my bench and then i just hook my feet under a barbell and do them that way. It actually works pretty good the only problem i think is you won't get full flexion if you are tall. you can do extensions and ghd situps on it though. So far my best alternative.
A. 155-175-195-205-215 (all felt strong and fast)
B1. 175-185-195-200-205(PR, very ugly)

A1. SGDL - all 6 reps - 176, 186, 196, 206, 216.
I used straps for sets 3-5.
B1. Power Clean - 142x3, 152x3, 176x2, 186x2 (3rd pull on 2nd rep was slow), 201x1 fail
B2. Ring Dips - 20,20,13-2-2-1-1-1,9-3-3-2-2-1,10-3-3-2-2 Getting some improvement here. Starting to drop quicker and kip more aggressively.
C. 15, tempo was more 2010, 15, adjusted hand to behind butt and 1st 10 were 2020 and last 5 were 1010, 14, 5 reps 2020 and the rest 1010.
A. 110# for 4 reps for all 5 sets. Never done this before and really focused on adhering to the prescribed tempo.
B1. 75/90/100/110/120
B2. No rings, 2 sets of 10 for the first 2 sets, then did as many as I could strict and used band assistance for the rest.
C. no GHD but stuck to tempo with my rigged up substitute.
David: I haven't signed up yet.
Well I think I've found one of the best post-WOD whole food meals there is; borscht!
My apologies to anyone out there with Eastern Bloc heritage, maybe you never want to see another bowl in your life, but if you add some lean meat to that then it's awesome post-WOD (if you don't mind your pee turning red and any sudden urges to wear large fuzzy hats).
PS. I use yams instead of potatoes...
PPS. Lovin' the FAQ. And the new OPT photo.

Grip was limiting factor on DLs. Accidentally did an extra set of cleans and dips. Clean felt slow. Tendons on inside of elbows still extremely tight from day 2/45.
James, thanks for taking time to answer yesterday. I'm in. I think this is what I need to progress.

Does anyone have advice on how to deal with rips? I started following this site a few days behind, so I'm doing the track workout today, and the 100 pullups gave me a couple rips. I tried a salt bath but I'm not sure what else I should do.

Post WOD Meal
3.5oz bison / ground turkey
100g sweet potatoe
50g apple sauce
Saturday- 46 bundles on shingles, 12 hour day
Sunday- 10 bundles on shingles, 6 hour day
No rest for me this past weekend, body wrecked from carrying shingles all weekend, and hands banged up. I almost sat this one out but when I got home from work I felt pretty good so i went at it....
Snatch DL @ tempo w/straps135,155,175,195,205(5)
power clean
185,195,205,215,225
*dropped all reps with very quick re-set*
ring dips-unbroken, i almost have the "cyclical kip" down with these, fast and much easier and efficient.
ghd's- 15x3, my hams are toast from the roof.
A: 225(6),235(6),245(6),245(4),245(4)
B1: 165,185,205,225,X
B2: all unbroken
C: 20,20,20 (tempo on last set was really tough, took a couple second pause on rep 15)
X: pulled something in my lower back doing 2nd 225# PC so I didn't do last rep. Must have been a combination of improper technique and lack of sufficient warm-up.
Now, 6 hours after workout, my lower back has really tightened up. Can't even stand straight up. Icing and hoping I recover quickly.
Snatch DL @ tempo (kgs)
70,75,80,85,92
PC (kgs)

rings dips are my downfall, managed 12 the first round, then sets of 5 mostly. Last 2 rounds were a whole lota singles and doubles.
Subbed T2B for GHD's.
a1) 225x4/205x6/215X6/225X5/235x3
B1) 135/155/175/185/205
B2)15,5/15,5/15,5/10,5,5/20

Snatch grip DL
115, 120,125,135,145 all 6s except 145 grip was the issue
I wish i wasn't retarded and could read because i did B1 and hang power cleans by accident until the very last set when i realized my misatke oh well here are my numbers anyways
B1 90/95/105/110/115
B2 very broken but getting better my arms are baked now though
10/5/5; 7/5/3/3/2; 6/4/4/3/3... anyways you get the trend at least i toughed it out until the last set where i used band assist as i was running out of time
C 20/20/20
Greetings, Dawgs:
First results post, after lurking for quite some time.
I'm 47 y/o, 5'10", 152 lbs. Came to CF about a year ago, after years of high volume endurance training. Found this site earlier this year, and have been doing the workouts ever since. I still have a long way to go, but I've made good progress so far and I'm very excited about being part of the work that goes on here.
Thank you all for making this such a great community. I hope I can find ways to contribute as well.
A. 95x5, 115x5, 135x5, 155x5, 185x6
B1. 125, 140, 150, 155, 160
B2. 20, 10/3/3/2/2, 6/4/4/3/3, 6/4/4/4/2, 10/5/5
C. 15, 15, 15
First time doing SGDL, so started very conservatively. Tough on the thumbs. Had some left in the tank at the end. More aggressive next time.
Previous 1RM power clean was 150, so exceeded that three times today (150x2, 155x1, 160x1). Very pleased to see it moving up, as I've been plateaued for a while on this exercise.
First set of RDs was a PB (20 straight, previous PB 16). Went downhill fast from there, but my kip improved at the end, accounting for the last set improvement. Focused on keeping head up and avoiding t-spine flexion for full ROM w/biceps to rings.
GHRs were tough. Not strong yet in this movement. All were band-assisted. Focused on achieving full hip extension before the "second pull" during the concentric phase, and maintaing full hip extension until parallel to the ground during the eccentric portion.
tough luck with the back...hope it is nothing serious Brian.
A: 90x5/100x5/120x4/120x4/130x3 (kg)

B1: 125, 135, 135, 140, 145 (F)
B2: Completed the first five, then used box to complete the set.
C: 12, 12, 12 tempo was hard to keep up- and still unsure if I am doing this correctly.
A) SgDL: 179,189,199,209,219 6 reps @ each weight. Should have started heavier. Ouch.
B1) PC: 160x3,170x3,175x2,180x1(miss 2nd),180x1 Felt really good early, CNS done in the 4th round though.
B2)20x20x20x12,3,1,1,2,1x10,2,2,2,2,1,1
C)GHR: 20,15,10 Lost the tempo last couple of reps of set 2, terminated 3rd set when I couldn't keep the tempo.

C: 3 sets of 15, unbroken.
Shoothouse training tomorrow....cant wait.
Scott, once they are ripped let them heal as best you can. Once you have them healed you must prep them for the Bar. This means stripping the calluses down to nothing and then using a file to take away any of the sharp edges (Sharp knife, or nail clippers if you must). The more skin you leave on the more the chance of ripping. Good luck, Some are just more prone than others.
A - 225, 235, 245 (4), 240, 240. Like most, grip failed.
B1 - 155, 160, 160, 165, 175
B2 - 18 2, 16 4, 14 3 3, 12 3 3 2, 11 4 3 2.

Scott,
Geoff Aucoin pescribes shaving your hands in the shower. I thought it to be absurd, but I gave it a try and I have not had a signifcant tear since.
First post, hopefully didn't mess up the protocols too much.
A. 220, 243, 265, 287, 302. I used the snatch grip for width but used a mixed grip. Please let me know if that was the intent or was it actually a hook grip for the lifts.
B1. 177 x 3, 188 x 3, 200 x 2, 210 x 1 ( 1 fail), 210 x 1.
B2. all RD's done but broken up.
C. 8, 9, 9. Tough, felt yesterday's league soccer game at this point.
OPT, thank you for responding to my email earlier and a huge thank you for the FAQ you put up, it answers so much. David.
Scott, per the hands:
I found that keeping the tear damp at all times really helped them heal faster. I used aquaphor (its a breathable vaseline) on the wound and kept in bandaged AT ALL TIMES. I think it is the same concept that they use to treat burn victims and its the reason cuts in your mouth always heal so fast. No scabbing! Whatever you do, don't let it scab over. Mine healed up in about a week.
Once it heals you have to be proactive and maintain the calluses. Like Rob Sifton said use a knife or nail clippers. I use my wifes "foot stone" in the shower every night. I haven't had a tear since.

C. 15x3 - these suck

hopin for an early post of tomorrow's double! thanks for the great wods coach.
A. 6/185, 6/205, 6/225, 6/245, 4/255 grip failed

Had to shorten rest to 60 sec, to get this done on time,did GHD raises about 3 hours later.
C. 20,20,20 modified GHD setup. Probably not full range of motion.
If you don't have access to a GHD for Back extensions and Sit ups whats a good sub?
6 reps for all SGDL- 185,185,225,245,265. I need some straps for these.
PC-185x3, 195x3, 2x205, 1x225(PR), 1x205

B2: 12 to 16 unbroken every round
C: broken, kept on crushing my nuts
Post WOD: 40 grams of isopure
Notes: used standard grip on DL and it seemed to be a limiting facture, next time will switch to hook grip or over/under. Power cleans could have went heavier but decided to work on form.
A. 185(6), 205(6), 225(6), 245(5), 245(4)

B1: 150X3X2, 160X2, 165X2, 175X2
I am getting better at these...

Hammies still feeling the sprint intervals...not to mention the fist parts of this wod.
Who is answering 3+ a day?! Haha.
Under estimated myself (that's what happens when rory is not there to over estimate what i can do).

B2. Subb'd dips off bench
C. Sub'd back ext sets of 30
Interrupted by my girl during the WOD, had to rewarm up right before the 95 attempt. I think I could have gotten it if I did it normally. Oh well, can't deny a hungry baby!
SGDL: 125x6/145x6/155x5/175x4/200x4
Butt is rising out of bottom before shoulders

GHD-R: got it done with a crappy back ext mahine, rigged up with mats and 45# plates for proper angle.
With all the new Big Dawgs posting I really wanted to come out and put up some good numbers, but I just wans't feeling it tonight. I've been under some stress lately and my mind kept wandering off during the wod. I kept missing power cleans with weights that I've nailed in the past and I took some extra rest between sets to refocus, but I just didn't have it tonight.
Refueling and going to bed!

Snatch grip was really challenging. Should have started with a higher percentage of current 1RM of DL (480). Tried/used the hook grip as well during SGDLs and that was painful.
PWO Shake: 40g Protein (56g MRM Metabolic Whey) in 1 cup water and 1/2 cup coconut milk.

Booked off time for the double tomorrow. Looking forward to it.
Got to hit it with unit today and as usual good things happened:
A. 175x6, 185x6, 195x6, 205x6, 225x4 (lost grip)
B1. 155x3, 165x3, 175(f) 175x2, 175x2, 190x1 (pr)
B2. Only made it to 12-14 each set before having to drop off and rest to complete the set.
C. 20x3 done on matt with feet anchored. This seems like a pretty good sub actually.
Rory I think it is safe to say that your first pull is not the limiting factor in your snatch...
