Squat Clean- 175lbs (felt strong)
ReplyDeletepullups- unbroken/strong/need to work on speed tho...

Just got my powerfirm lifting shoes I am so excited however it seems like there is a little slipage in my heel does anyone know if this means they are too big. They fit lengthwise but aren't tight like I have heard most people describe. It would totally suck if they are too big but at the same time I don't want to have wasted $125. Any input would be appreciated
ReplyDeleteI've been on the road and on mission for just over a month straight. I only managed to workout twice that whole time, but today, I'm back.
ReplyDeleteShould be leaving Iraq on 14 NOV. Will be trying to squeeze in the competition to celebrate.
As always, Coach, thanks for all the time and effort you put into this.
This is going to hurt. 3, 2, 1...Go!

Dsweeney@cfconstruction.ca
Thanks
Lisa M,
ReplyDeleteHow did the butterfly kip go? Did you get it?
Holy cow, Dawgs! It looks like I will have to take a break from the WODs starting mid January. I just got a conditional offer of employment from a great local fire department.
ReplyDeleteIf memory serves, there are a couple people on here that are in the fire service. Should I do anything different--in addition to big dawgs over the next couple months before academy...in your opinion?
Welcome back, Sweeney and Steve!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to everyone this weekend!
Congrats Joel B!!
ReplyDeleteFirefighter = best job ever!!
ive been on the job now for almost 2 years, and i LOVE every minute of it!!!

Ha Kyle i totally gave up for now i really feel like a complete spaz i think i need someone who knows how to watch me and help me. I watched hours of video and kept trying but it was just getting too frustrating, and my shoulders and hands were killing me so for now i will kip my brains out...
ReplyDeletegood luck this weekend if you are competing
Glad to hear you're back safe and sound Steve.
ReplyDeleteSquat Clean- 185. Light and easy.
Pull Ups- Chest to bar frog kip
DU/Row- averaged 1:30/500 on the rows.
Tall clean practice up to 145x3.
ReplyDeleteSquat clean doubles at 165... 3rd pull is already getting better.
Pullups... frogs and butterflies were equally fast for me. Frogs take less concentration, but feels like I could get faster at butterfly with practice.
Rowing: 114 @ 5, 117 @ 7, 111 @ 9
Doubles: worked on high speed. Tripped up third set a couple times.
Practice pistol negatives and bottom holds.
Powell Raise.
205 felt explosive out of bottom. Did some halting deadlifts to work the 1st to second pull transition.
ReplyDeleteChins- Regular kip. 14 seconds about per 10 pullups
Double unders- worked on going faster and played with holding the jump rope handle a bit different.
1:30 pace on rower was about right.
Great to see that you are back Steve.
ReplyDeleteHit it hard Saturday and travel home safe!
SC: 225# - Started losing speed at this weight.
ReplyDeletePU: Unb with varied movements, blazing!
DU/Row: Sucked
Still no events... It's like christmas!
Horrible workout for me tonight still fighting sickness. See all you big dawgs on Saturday!

ReplyDeleteA. Up to 215 before form started getting shaky and was slow out of the bottom... stopped there
ReplyDeleteB. chest-to-bar... easy enough... worked on butterfly kip afterwards for sets of 10 and it's finally coming around.
C. Foot felt funny from the squat cleans so skipped double unders and did tabata row... covered 105-120m per 20 sec... about 1:30/500m pace for all rounds... pathetic.
Followed it up with practice on Handstand Pushups, L-Sits, and One-Legged Pistols.
Been on the IR the last couple days due to chronic back issues but thankfully back at it today.
ReplyDeleteSC- did from a hang instead, trying not to push my luck with my back- got 95 hang clean/ass to grass twice which is a PR for the clean! Felt pretty easy and no back issues!
Pullups- band assisted unbroken - felt quick
Metcon: had to sub row with barbell due to no rower. Got 16 DUs in a row today which is a new PR! A little bittersweet... Psyched to get 16 but mad I couldn't get those last 4!! My first unbroken set is within reach!!
Good luck to all this weekend!
Squat Clean - 175#
ReplyDeleteChins - Butterfly
DUs - Straight Through
Rows - 110m each row
squat clean 255
ReplyDeletepull ups felt fast and smooth
DU fast and played with damper for rows
Nice job Lindsey!
ReplyDeleteDone yesterday afternoon, just didn't get around to posting until now.
ReplyDeleteRight elbow was a little sore, so kept it light on the cleans. Also did some clean shrugs and clean pulls to try and improve my technique.
Pull-ups all frog kick. These are getting faster, but still have a ways to go to be really fast.
One DU miss; otherwise unbroken. Rows were good; ~1:30/500m pace.
