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

    ReplyDelete
  2. 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?

    ReplyDelete
  3. 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?

  4. 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.

  6. 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

  7. 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...

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    ReplyDelete
  20. 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.

    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.

    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.

    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

  30. 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?

  31. 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.

  32. 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...

    PART 2

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

    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!

    covered 2300 meters in the warm-up and tabata intervals

    3 x 90% intervals were 327/324/326m

    skipped my 5min cool down and instead did a 15min bike ride home.

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

    Cheers.

    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.

    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.

  55. 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%

    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

    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.

    I can definitely feel that I'm missing something in the 2nd pull. No pop today on the snatches. Kept ending up on my toes leaning forward.

  90. Was away with the long holiday weekend. Could only get to the gym once today.

    A1. 3-135, 3-140, 3-140, 3-140, 2-140, 3-140

    A2. 3-205, 2-215, 1-225, 3-215, 2-230, 1-245

    B. 245: 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3

    C1. 6-53, 4-88, 2-103

    C2. 15, 15, 15

    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.
