    DU/Burpee - 3:49
    Back Ext - as Rx'd

    Focusing on getting the bar in the "pocket" before the second pull. Helping a little.

    DU/Burpees - 2:31(had nothing in hips/chest for burpees

    PS at 135 is a weakness of mine. Focused on form. This is my first set of three....Feedback would be much appreciated.

  7. Wes, there are few things to work on...but work on explosion at point where bar gets to your pubic area (think this ..."i'm gonna stand up as tall as possible and as that bar comes back into my body i'm gonna jump the SHIT out of that thing"...)sometimes speed through the middle and getting to full extension comes by cueing it and not focusing on mechanics
    there are others but don't dissect it too much right now

  8. PS: 120, 120, 125
    DU/Burpees: 3:33
    3-4 misses on DU's. Haven't done that in this short of a set in a while. Burpees started out fast (for me) and got slower as I fatigued.
    BE: unbroken/unweighted

  9. OPT

    are saturdays WODs going to be done at CFC or your place?? I would love to be able to come and do at least a couple of them up there. THanks

    ReplyDelete
  10. Lisa, yes, OPT is the place.
    we will have folks here throughout day ready to manage the "flow"

    ReplyDelete
  11. Dawgs,

    Off for a little business deep in the heart of Texas for the next week so WOD's will be spotty and competition a couple days late for me. Best of luck to all, hit it hard and have a blast.

  12. Lagging a bit here. Did yesterdays WOD today:

    HB back squat: 3x80kg, 3x90kg, 3x100kg
    Pullups: yes
    Push press: 3x70kg, 3x77.5kg, 3x80kg
    No GHD so did abmat situps

    4 hours later:

    row intervals: average 530w/165 pounds = 3.21 (longer rest lifted average compared to last week)

    However - and I did this last week as well - I had the rower spinning when starting work intervals. Don't know if that's ok - it certainly help getting a higher average, but I don't know if it's considered ok practise?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Power Snatch-130,135,140x1 3rd pull was too slow. I'm getting plenty of height on the 2nd pull, I need to work on pulling under the bar more agressively.
    Metcon-2:33 unbroken
    Back extensions unbroken.

    ReplyDelete
  15. ps- 135,135,140. snatch lift has been stagnant for awhile now.

    metcon 2:44. one miss on DU's. burpees unbroken but started to slow 2nd half of wod.

    bball game later tonight.

  16. PS: 145/165/175
    MetCon: 3:41. Tripped up at the start of each rd of double unders, burpees slow but consistent.
    Back Exts: Unbroken.

  17. Power Snatch: 75/90/100
    *last set was not the prettiest. Need to work on popping my hips and getting aggressive!
    Met Con: 4:06
    *DUs broken/Burpees unbroken but slooow as hell.

    Back ext: unbroken....felt good.

  18. p. snatch 110/120/130(3)
    Metcon 2:32
    back ext - unbroken x 3

    ReplyDelete
  19. Power Snatch - 3 x 3; rest 240 sec
    Loads=75,95,100(1)
    Last was very poor. Failed on 2 reps.  Not my best effort.  Being up all night certainly has side effects. 

    rest 5 min

    3 rounds for time;
    35 double unders
    12 burpees
    Time=2:50

    rest 5 min

    20 back extensions x 3; rest 60 sec
    Reps= C,C,C

    With only sleeping 5 hours in 36 I can definitly feel the difference.  On the heavy (er) lifts I was just not able to get the coordination together.  Surprisingly though the DU & Burpees part was very fluid. Must remember this as it seems the coodonation movements that are more familiar were less effected by the lack of sleep.  
    I mentally focused on the DU & burpees part to relax (lesson learned from Annie last time and being juiced up) = much better results

    Back ext were straight but tough.  The GHD was not comfortable with no "man canyon".

  20. Power snatch
    3/115 3/125 3/135 form not great had to press out 1,3 reps of last set need to focus on getting a bit more speed

    DU/BP: 9:02
    Couldn't string together any good sets of DU. BPs unbroken.

    Back ext 1&2 unbroken

    ReplyDelete
  22. Still not feeling 100% did yesterdays first wod today

    155(3)/165(3)/175f pathetic - lower body strength stuff is the bane of my existence for some reason...

    PUS - all unbroken

    Push Press 105/115/125 all 3s these felt great! i think my heel might have lifted off slightly on the third rep of last set

    GHD unbroken except when my rigged up system tipped over and my whole squat rack almost fell on me - yikes!!

    Will hit the other one tonight after work

    ReplyDelete
  23. PS - 155, 165, 175x2 (almost had 3rd rep)

    DU+burpee = 2:31 - 1 break on DUs

    Back extension 3x 20 unbroken w 15lb

    ReplyDelete
  24. Power Snatch
    110/120/130(2)- back still bothering me, and my tech is poor.
    DU's & Burp's 3:26 broke set 1 and 3 of DU's - mental idiot
    3x20 back exten. - fast... actually felt really good on my back. Felt like it opened up. Guess what I am doing in tomorrow's warm up?

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'm back!

    Power Snatch 145x3x3

    Metcon: 2:51 (doubles unbroken, so burpees could be faster)

  27. Hey Gang!!!

    Did this WOD at the CF(squared) Facility.

    Power Snatch:
    115/125/135 x 3

    Metcon: I did 90 bench press reps @ 90% BW yesterday, so I'm not sure I could push myself out of the bottom of the burpee, therefore sub'd CFC Saturday WOD

    39/26/13 Power Snatch @ 75lbs
    20/40/60 Jumping Pulls

    7:37

    Felt good to be doing some work again.

  28. I've been following your blog for a while and I have been considering switching from .com to your program. I would love to qualify for the games and while I am confident in main site's ability to prepare me for the unknown and the unknowable but I question whether that will be the best method for games prep.

    So, I guess what I am asking is: Is this program geared toward games prep and is there a danger in jumping in part way through a periodized program?

    Thanks so much for your help!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Adam,

    James writes this programming with the games in mind as well as qualifiers. If you are interested, jump in. We are just starting to taper for the OPT Challenge #2 on Sat. So you might find the WOD's seem lighter than normal. If you have the ability to do the chalenge hit it hard.

    Enjoy the journey, and welcome.

  31. PS 95/105/110
    Power Snatches is one of my weaknesses. Worked on technique and depth.

    DU/Burpees 9:06

    20 Unbroken Back Extensions

  32. Power snatch x 3: 85, 95, 100(2)
    DUs/burpees: 3:15
    Back ext: unbroken

    Wanted sub-3 for the DUs/burpees. Went 0:55/round for the first two, then I cleverly missed three DUs in the last round.

    First time into triple digits on the snatch, as humbling as it is to say. Progress, even if modest.

    The extensions hit me nicely in the hams.

  33. tweaked my R shoulder yest... kept the snatches lightish...
    155 / 155 / 175(1)

    Power Snatch - 3 x 3; rest 240 sec
    155x3, 160x2,1, 160x1,1,1

    rest 5 min

    3 rounds for time;
    35 double unders
    12 burpees
    4:14... burpees were slow, but I never stopped moving... DU's sucked because as I got tired I caught my foot on the rope, so the last two sets were broken into something like 15, 10, 10

    rest 5 min

    20 back extensions x 3; rest 60 sec
    15lbs, 20, 26.5
    My hamstrings didn't like this one bit...

    HEY BSO, OUUUUU, welcome back brother!

    PSx3 - 50/60/70kg (154#)
    DU/Burpees - 3:29
    BE's: unb

    Running on only 5 cylinders tonight. The head won't stop pounding and hips have been very achey. What is odd is bouncing up and down there is a dense inner pain in my lower to mid back with every bounce. I hate sitting around, did what I could tonight. Didn't push real hard but didn't want to grow stale assuming I'll be able to compete this weekend. 3 misses total on all the DU's, all burpees were not at a frantic pace but unbroken. Back extensions didn't have an effect on the head. HSPU's and GHD situps are impossible as of today.

  39. Was feeling sick all weekend so rested up back at it tomorrow.

  42. Power Snatch: 125X3, 135x3, 145x3
    MetCon: 3:06
    Back Extensions: Unbroken

    PWO: 30gP (MRM shake), 20gC (mashed sweet potato w/ cinnamon)
    60 min later: turkey, brussel sprouts, avocado, mac nuts

    Notes: Power snatch felt pretty good. Was probably pushing out the last inch or two on set w/ 145.

    I could not get into a rhythm for the life on me on the Double Unders. Stringing 35 unbroken is never an issue, until today.

    Back extensions felt good in set 1 and 2. Set 3 the lower back and hammies were getting tight.
