  2. Hi team.

    Are the hspu close grip on parallettes or close hand placement? Distance? Or do we just roll with what we can do at that tempo..

    Cheers

  3. "B2. HSPU close grip"

    Parallettes are not mentioned so don't use them. Close grip is about shoulder width.

  4. What are opinions on kipping TTB when doing these rep ranges and not in all-out met-con? They are considerably easier on the abs of course.

    b2. blue band asst. set 2 added 5# weight to legs, set 3 added 7#. 10, 10, 7 for reps
    c1. 5#, 7#, 10#

    trying to figure out how much assistance the blue band gives. i think about 20-30 pounds. wanna work up to unassisted.

  13. A1= 135, 155, 165(f on split), 165
    B1= 1.5pd. 2pd, 2pd all unbroken
    B2= 4,5,5 depth needs to be better
    C1= unbroken but no added weight, was I supposed to?
    C2= first 2 sets unbroken, last broken x3

    HSPU's still tax my sore shoulder, so I will proceed with caution. On a good note, 35 consecutive DU's during WU, PR!

    B1: 70 / 80 / 90 (unbroken, subbed DB)
    B: 8 / 8 / 6 (close grip is horrible)

    C1: 12 / 12 / 12 (45 degree bench)
    C2: 15 / 15 / 15 (last set broken, grip failed quickly)

    Have been following along, running about a month or so behind. Just sort of feeling out the workouts (which are smoking my bags). Finally decided to jump into the mix on the current workouts. Last workout on the old schedule for me was 50 split jerks (165#, done day before yesterday). Left my shoulders feeling like mush. And what should appear on the day I decide to use the current workout? More pressing!

    Either need to add weight to the GHD raises since I have to sub the 45 degree bench or rig something up that allows me to anchor my feet while kneeling on the floor.

  18. Kept track of #'s today, right shoulder can't handle push jerks yet so I did 2 split jerks and changed the lead leg.

    A1. Worked up to 187, felt okay.

    B1. 2 pd, 2.5 pd, 2.5 pd all unbroken (and really hard)
    B2. 5,3 (shoulder ow), 5 negative HSPU on low parallettes.

    C1. 12, 8 (wrong setting, oops), 10 all with hands behind back, newer setting on bench felt better for ROM.
    C2. All ubroken and kipped. No tempo is suggested so kipping is just better/smarter/cooler.

    Mojo felt good today; fun working out with Grant and Kathleen again.

    I think a 195lb push press might be a PR.

    B2. 6, 6, 3

    C1. 10lbs, 15lbs, 15lbs
    C2. Unbroken
    Here is a video of my toes to bar.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4imy2KBwpOU

    Is this considered a kip? If not, can someone please post a video of a kipping toes to bar? My turn over rate looks and feels very slow with these and I don't feel like I will win any T2B races. Any advice would be appreciated.

  24. A. Up to 165, focus on power especially in push press, toughest part of the combination for me.

    B1. all unbroken 2pd. Cant wait to try that one with buddy at OPT
    B2. 4,6,5- tough tempo, I like the close grip work

    C. all unbroken in both except last set of t2b. Mental lapse, frustrating.

    Q: are you allowed to bend your knees on the T2B?

    I am really glad there was no isolation rhomboids etc today.

    Love the pullup bars in the doorways at CF central they are awesome. Oh to live in a warm climate.

    i just watched your T2B video and i will pass along a tip the Geoff gave me - use a supinated grip it makes them waaayyy easier if you want that!!

    All sets of GHD's were kipping except for the last 7 which were slow singles without touchdown. I am so sore from the powell raises. Wasn't sure how I was going to get through A1 but it turned out all right once I got started.

  36. Paul, those aren't kippers. Kipping toes-to-bar are quite fast and almost violent looking with the shoulders and forearms doing a lot of the work. Pop your hips like you'd do a pull-up but keep your arms straight and kick your feet up right away instead. I'd send you a video but I'll be damned if I can find one right now.

    Please don't ask me to explain this any further because it's really something you can't put into words well, just give 'er.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Paul:

    See:

    http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/CrossFit_Knees2Elbows.mov

    About 3/4 of the way through, there's a bit on kipped KTEs. I think you'll see pretty quickly how to apply it to TTBs.

    Hope this helps ...

    Not sure about last time I did 1RM for Push Press but 195 lbs is definitely a PR. Failures came from not staying erect directly underneath bar. bad habit of leaning back and not keeping solid midsection when weight gets big. 205lbs is also a PR for Push Jerk

  57. OPT,

    My wife and I recently attended the Black Box Summit. Your no nonsense approach to what you do is appreciated. Your presentations were truly inspiring! We learned so much from you and have taken on your challenge immediately. I have already incorporated some of the things you talked about when working with my clients. Thank you SO much for taking the time to share with us out of your busy schedule!

    MUCH respect,

    David and Wynter Weaver
