Matt said...

I was just wondering how this programming varies from that found on crossfit calgary, is this a much more intense program?

Erik Luber said...

Confused about the note on C2: "change hands to ensure you get all reps"...are these supposed to be GHD sit-ups instead of raises? Or is there something I am not understanding about GHD raises?

Trevor Salmon said...

Erik, they are ghd raises. What coach means is if you start with fingers at temples for example and you notice a difficulty sticking with reps/tempo then move your hands to hips for example to shorten the lever hence making it slightly easier.
Make sense?

Trevor Salmon said...

Matt, the program is much different than CF Calgary. These are geared to the athlete working alone more often that not and not a class setting. CF Calgary programming done by AFT is top notch and geared towards improvements/progression of the CF Calgary community. This OPT community is a different one therefore different training modalities are included.
my $.02 anyway.

Erik Luber said...

Cool, makes sense. Thanks Trevor.

md said...

Trying to catch up from the long weekend. Crammed everything into today so not the best but...

Saturday-
Part 1 6:23 felt heavy and from was poor throughout. Probably a little too much thanks and not enough giving Video coming shortly

Part 2
better - treadmill @ 5:23 mile 3.5% incline 3,2,1,2,3

Craig said...

I have a question. I've been Crossfitting for about two years now, bounce around from mainsite, CFSB, and now follow Invictus( for about 6 months). I know alot of folks have benefitted from OPT and I'm curious to see if it's going to work for me, I just don't know at what point should I jump in?
Thanks

Garage Crossfitter said...

Craig-
we just started a new cycle 9 training days ago...our next cycle starts after our Jan 23/24 competition. I would recommend jumping in right now...

Martin Altemark said...

...Hard to find time today. But will try my best.

Part 1:
HPC: 3x50kg, 3x52.2kg, 3x55kg, 3x57.5kg (3xPR), 3x60kg (PR), 3x62.5 (PR)
Bench: 75kg, 80kg, 85kg, 80kg, 85kg, 92.5kg

Deadlifts done with 110kg. Felt easy and strong.

Ring dips instead of dips: 6x12kg, 4x16kg, 2x24kg
Good mornings with bar instead of GHD raises

Had this feeling of being able to pull whatever I wanted in the snatch! Never done 2xsnatch over 60kg before, even with full snatch/PC.

Extra 4th round to bring it up to 1300m.

Omar Arvizu said...

Craig I was in the same position as you a few weeks ago and jump right in... it worked.

atom said...

As well as:

Felt a huge difference in cardiovascular endurance since I woke up at 5am to accomplish Part 2.

Came home and refueled with a post WOD shake + a usual breakfast of lean red meat, nuts & a grapefruit.

Michael McCabe said...

part1 - hit this on an empty stomach, which felt ok today
A1. 95x3, 115x3, 125x2x4... form really deteriorates on these above 95... really need to start video taping to figure out what i`m doin wrong
A2. 175, 185, 195, 205, 215, 225
B. 255lbs - these didn`t feel heavy but didn`t feel as fast as dynamic effort stuff should
C1. 30lbs, 45lbs, 60lbs - dips felt amazing today, probably coulda done 70 or 75x2
C2. still learning these, getting better

post wod - whey, skim milk, oats (approx. 40p/50c)
40 mins later - almonds and some good ol tim hortons coffee.

part 2 after work tonight

Unknown said...

Part 1 :

A1 HPC: All 6 set 3x50kg. Weak in the top, almost a push press the last 2 sets.

A2: 80kg, 85kg, 90kg, 85kg, 90kg, 95kg. Went really well, strong in all the reps.

B: Deadlift done with 80kg. Felt ok, but have to improve.

C1: 6x30kg, 4x35kg, 2x35kg. Felt really strong, full depth on all reps

C2: 15x3

Have to find the will to do part 2!! Hope I find it in my couch :-)

A1. 135 X 6
A2. 205/215/225 X 2

B2. 225# unbroken
C1. Bodyweight
C2. Bodyweight

Snatch is still pretty rough for me, as weight goes up, my form falls apart. Miss judged the BP and should have had more weight in the earlier reps. Everything else felt good.

A2. 165-175-185-175-185-195
B. 225 x 8 x3..fast/easy
C1. 12-8-4 w/ 20lb vest...all I had so I doubled reps
C2.15-15-15 on tempo

Couldn't believe how easily I was power snatching 135+. Lately I have gotten very mechanical w/ the snatch and today all I thought about was jumping as high as I could with that weight and it seemed to work.

Craig said...

I appreciate the feedback!! Those who are relatively new to OPT, what do you think?

About these cycles, how many of these are incoporated into the programming or are they simply just to prepare for competitions? How many comps do you participate in typically? I apologize for all the questions, just trying to get a better idea of what's going on.
Is there any sort of personal info that needs to be provided to the coach?
I'm going to jump in, wish me luck!!
Thanks again.

A2 - 205 x 3 / 225 x 2 / 245 x 1 / 235 x 3 / 260 x 2 / 275 x 1

C1 - 60 x 6 / 70 x 4 / 80 x 2
C2 - 15 / 15 / 15 (45 degree bench, hands at ears, unbroken)

Rest 5 minutes

1 min row sprint @ 90% effort, 2 min walking rest x 3

301 / 316 / 317 - 934 meters total

Had to combine (sort of) the workouts today as there was insufficient time today for two separate workouts.

The difference between 155 and 165 on HPS was insane. 155 went up easily for a triple. Added 10 pounds to the bar and I suddenly felt as though I didn't have any pop at all in my hips. The doubles were serious struggles.

Deadlifts felt fast and easy.

Rowing, as always, felt like death. I consistently seem to have a hard time getting into gear on the first interval.

Chris Dunkin said...

A1 155x2, 155x3, 160x2, 160f, 160x3, 165x1
A2 225x3, 255x2, 285x1, 255x3, 285x2, 305x1pr
B 295x3x8
C1 30x6, 45x4, 70x2
C2 3x15 (hands behind head)

A1: bit of a mess with intensity overriding form on middle reps. settled down, focused on technique and felt much better. A2: was targeting 305, so started a bit lighter than I could have. B: Felt heavy.

Erik Luber said...

A1. 35 kg, 35, 37.5 40, 41, 42
A2. 64 kg, 66.5, 69, 69, 73, 85 (f)
B. 90 kg
C1. 10kg, 20, 30
C2. all unbroken, arms fully extended on first set and moved to crown on last two.

Kept the weight low on the snatches and focused on tech. Really focused on receiving the weight with my ass out. Found that splitting my legs parallel to the bar made a HUGE difference. Going to video these next time to compare. Dips done on bar, but felt surprisingly strong, think I could have done 35kgx2.

Post WOD fuel: Blueberry smoothie + 40g Whey. Breakfast 40 min later: Scrambled eggs+back bacon+kiwi

Omar Arvizu said...

-will work on dips tonight before part 2...

William said...

I have read the FAQ, but feel that my warm-up on a day like today could be a lot more productive. I would greatly appreciate if some of you would post how you warmed up today.

Would it be best to bounce between the 3 barbell movements, getting them all up to the starting weights being there isn't time once the workout begins?

rwcorson said...

A1. 110,120,125,130,135 all 3's, 140x2 none dropped to floor
A2.176x3,186x2,201x1,186x3,196x3,211x1 I should have been heavier in all sets
B. 253#
C1. 15x6,20x4,30x2 all sets should have been heavier
C2. 15x3, hands on hammies. First time I was able to keep tempo.

Sweeney said...

William:

My warm up is similar each day in that I start with a light 250-400m row or run. This gets my blood moving. Then I start my stretching; pass throughs for the shoulders, stretch out my glutes, scorpions for my back, foam roller etc. Then I usually do three rounds of 7-10 reps of sit-ups. push-ups, squats, back ext. and chins. Once done this I start with focusing on the WOD. If it's a WOD like today, I start with low weight (sometimes just the bar) to get my muscles used to the movement. I will gradually add weight throughout the warm-up until I get a good feel for where I should be at the start of the WOD. I will do a few rounds of the WOD with the Rx'd weight or close to it to visualize what it feels like to get my head in the game. For a WOD like this, I would be focusing on what I think my max weight is and work backward to a starting point. If the pot's hot (Coach's expression) you'll know it early on and you can increase accordingly.

My 2 cents

Perhaps some of the trainers in the crowd can comment...

Evan Z said...

A1. 95x3,10x3,115x3,115x2,115x3,120x2 - these are getting better
A2. 175,205,210,185,205,215 - proper breathing is a must!
B1. 219 for all sets
C1. 45,55,75 - should have gone heavier.
C2. No GHD so did 15x3 modified
Ali, thanks for the spots.

C2. 15,13,12 - Damn those hurt!

PART 2

329 meters, 309 meters, 298 meters - hard to gauge 90% so I think ended up doing max effort on all three sprints.

B1. 225 x 8

C1. 15, 30, 40 (way too light)
C2. Straight through with progressively more challenging hand positions (behind back, at hips, arms crossed)

Loads off today, started too light on bench and dips. Still a little off from sleep deprivation and yesterday's debacle. The good news is I got a LOAD of sleep last night.

What a strange and random thought by young Michael. Emotional lad, isn't he?

C1. 6 with Body wt(150#), 4 with 10lbs, 2 with 20lbs
C2. Not done.....had to cut it short as I ran out of time.

Notes
Didn't warm up enough so Hang Power Snatch was pretty fugly. Hips were not popping like they should have been.
Poor sleep and poor mental focus def. affected training today.
Positives - PB on bench and definitely felt strong in the dips. Should have done more weight for all three sets of dips.


Thanks for the spots to you too Evan!

1 min@90% sprints: 303m, 304m, 306m

Had cramps from time to time during the day, so was positively surprised how well part 2 went. Still happy about those HPCs from earlier!

A2. Felt really good and will definitely try to go up next time.
B. 60% is actually 288, but I went with 300. Felt really good and smooth. Fast coming up.
C1. Started out too light and could possible increase towards the end still. Kipping to get up.
C2. All unbroken at tempo...felt good.

Craig, don't over think it. You're only going to get out of it what you put in so start today and give it 110%.

I taped my power snatches and would really appreciate some feedback but I'll have to upload them tomorrow.

Cheers.

A1. 60kg/62/64/66/68/70 3 reps ea.

A2. 85kg/88/93/98/102/107

B. 112kg.
Used theoretical max since I've never established a 1RM. Also, haven't done heavy deadlifts in 6 months. Only snatch/clean pulls or an occasional one-legged deadlift. These felt easy today.

C1. Wasn't sure if these were supposed to be weighted? I did all reps with body weight and 2 sets of 4 reps w/50lbs.

C2. Hands crossed at shoulders. I do GHD raises each week and the cadence made it much harder.

I cant pull off a double day so I did the row workout right after.

5 min warmup+Tabata =2,145 meters
1 min sprints= 332/312/327
5 min cooldown= 1,123

Haven't been on a rower longer than two minutes for a few months. Didn't miss it that much.

Had a few ounces of chicken breast and a banana right after. Few oz. Beef, 2 eggs, small apple and almonds 1.5 hrs later.

33yom/6'2"/185lbs (before thanksgiving)

Part 1:
A1. 3x115, 3x125, 3x135, 2x145, 2x145, 2x145
A2. 205, 225, 245, 225, 245, 260
B. 215lbs no issues
C1. 25lbs, 27.5lbs, 32.5lbs all on rings
C2. 10lbs for all three sets

My snatch needs a lot of work. For some reason today I was landing with the feet sprawled out making my legs look like a new born deer. No matter how effn' hard I jumped with 145lbs I could only get 2 reps. I will take video next time for some tips.

Part 2:
314 meters, 310 meters, 313 meters

Laura said...

Part 1:

A1: 57.5/60/65/70F/70/72.5. Worked on not jumping back 1 meter or more like last day, still bending arms early though.
A2: 90.5/98/103/98/105.5/110.5--may have been able to do a few more pounds but really worked on tempo.
B 150#
C1: 2.5/10/15--started too light, used wide grip dip machine
C2: complete, all done with hands on head, elbows out

Part 2: 273/269/266

Michael McCabe said...

part 2 (ten hours after #1):
-20on/10off went really well, ramped up as planned to the last 3 intervals
-1min on/2mins off went less well:
339m, 321m, 316m
came out as if we were doing 30sec on/2:30off at 100%; as a result my quads were toast 30sec in to round 2. i now have a better idea of what my goal pace should be for 90%

post-WOD - whey and granola bar (35p/22c); 45 mins later turkey sausage, veggies, sweet potato, almonds.

Immediately after part 1 ate 40g turkey breast chopped and mixed into 40g carb of yam and applesauce. Last of the thanksgiving bird, sadly. Had to run kid to gymnastics so made a OPT breakfast shake to go and ate it at the gym. Couple snacks (big mouthfuls, really) and a lunch through the day. PWO part 2 tonight was dinner with family due to time of completion. Pork loin, broccoli, cool carrots, cranberries, and coconut sweet potato pie (unsweetened--pecan crust).

Brent: 345/342/334 = 1021
Brian: 332/333/338 = 1003

All intervals exact. Ran into technical difficulties in the last 20 seconds but I think we did a good job at maintainng for 3 sets. Back was tight on the 9 minute warmup from the earlier workout. Gord, the picture of you rowing on the poster is always inspirational! Taking my brother and family to airport tonight. We had a great time working out the last sveral days. Good job Brian!

Ryan @ CFGP said...

part 2

Row came together better tonight than ever before. The 90% sprint was a good 10 seconds faster than previous efforts:
1 min row meters: 325/ 324/ 316

Becky said...

was not looking forward to the row after i was reminded of it coming up ( had forgotten about it all morning)
1 minute row distance 269. 261. 257
so, obviously i did not get all same meters exactly.

found a CF gym here in Phoenix about 20 minutes from our place. THey were very accommodating as all crossfitters seem to be - an amazing community of people. WAs only able to get wod 1 in

A1: 65/75/80/80/82/82 once i hit 80 they were pretty ugly just didn't have it today??
A2: 100/115/125 105/120/130PR bench felt good
B: 145 quick easy concentrated on concentric and keeping my head down. Apparently i tilt my chin up the Leif at the CF gym said which is totally true once he said that so tried to keep it down
C:5#/7.5/10 on rings as they didn't have dip bars these felt strong
C2: 15s hands on chest. Amazing how much easier these are in an actualy GHD machine instead of my rigged up system at home.

some impressive WODs today from this crew... man, this stuff is addicting!...

A1- 155(3) /160(3)/ 165(3)/ 170(3)/ 175(1)/ 175(1)
A2- 245/ 275/ 315/ 255/ 285/ 335

10min rest

Warmup - 1310m

1min int- 320/ 322/ 324
Cooldown- 1314m
Total ~ 4,448m

Notes:
A1- 170lb is a PR 3RM PS...
A2- 335 ties a PR from the last 7yrs... earlier this year (lifetime PR of 355 in college)
B1- felt pretty quick with this wt... had trouble early on lowering on a one count, likely 2/2 the WODs from the last couple wks w/ a 4 count on the eccentric... this got better in later rounds...
C1- PR for 2RM on Ring Dips... in fact, this is a first time doing weighted ring dips... 1RM PR for bar dips is 140lbs... there is a link below for the vid... i think i may have done the eccentric a little fast after looking at the video...
C2- felt as easy as this movement ever has...
Rowing warmup felt chillax
Tabata intervals were tough the last two rounds...
1min intervals were somewhere in the 85% range I think (1:33.1 / 500m pace)... trying to feel out pacing again...
Cooldown felt good...

Had the camera at the gym today and tried to film a few movements... documenting the PRs (felt like it was going to be a good day today b/c i had yesterday off of work and just took a lazy day and napped and rested... felt good)... however, something happened to the videos of the BP and the PS, and all i'm left with is the video of the ring dips... 8^c... oh well, next time

Felt good all day. Snatches are improving ... had some in the tank at the end.

Consciously held back a bit on the rows to stay in the 90% range. Think I hit it about right.

All in all, a good day of training.

Erik Luber said...

Part 2, 12 hours later:

Tabata Row: 99, 99, 100, 100, 95, 93, 93, 94
Sprints: 288, 286, 286

Feel stupid, totally screwed up the tabata row. Went way too hard off the start, not much left for the 1 min sprints, it showed. Pretty disappointed with this, thought I could do 300 m for sure. Time to get some good sleep and get my head back in the game for tomorrow.

PWO: blueberry smoothie + 40 g Whey

joey warren said...

part 2: 4.5 hour rest

warmup around 1:55 pace

20 sec intervals felt good. last two very challenging

1 min intervals: 329m, 326m, 334m - felt like 90%, still got some in the tank!

cool down: around 1:55 pace

POst wod fuel part1 = 40 g whey protein for heavy lifting plus a sweet potato- hour later small salad with chicken and nuts
part 2= 15 g protein because no weight lifting, medium sweet potato (i would have taken 2 scoops refuel but I ran out, more on the way. No more than 40g C because shorter metcon for me) 1 hour later chicken with sauteed veggies and more nuts

Good God, Unit, that is a sick amount of weight there. Don't get pinched, though!

Sprints: 313, 305, 304
CoolDown: 1079m

PWO: 30gP (MRM shake), 20gC (mashed sweet potatoes and yams w/ cinnamon)
60 min later: turkey, apple, almond butter

Notes:
- WarmUp felt really good and relaxed.
- Intervals: Felt pretty good through 4 or 5 and had to really work through the end to maintain the paces/distances from previous intervals.
Sprints: Thought my pace for the 1st one was manageable for 3 rounds. Evidently, I was incorrect. Rounds 2 and 3 felt equally miserable.

I am still trying to figure this rower out. I have a newer model here at the house and one of the older ones at work. I can not really match (/500m pace, AvgWatts, etc) the numbers I put up at work while I am at home.

I saw that there is a utility on the C2 that will help determine the best flywheel setting based on your rowing. Will likely try this out. Anyone else have any other suggestions?

Thanks.

My snatch and clean explosiveness and catch is horrible. I've been trying to work on form, but I feel like I'm going in circles. I'm going to try to work on it each week with some lighter weights as form is hard to emphasize when your pulling your hardest.
