  3. Ali and Lisa,

    Thanks for the advice on pull ups in the comments yesterday. It so great to be involved in a community filled with such helpful people.

    Didn't increase weight on second set of A1/A2 due to being called out on tempo and range of motion. Fixed on the rest. Did one set of powell w/ 20lbs and got 10 fairly easy, but when I jumped to 25 the reps stopped at 6, so stayed there. This is 5lbs lighter then my ext. rotation wt. and well under 10% of bench press tempo max.

  7. Chris, it'll get better with some exposure to the DB movements.
    Becky, standings are up, thx for your patience.
    123 123...get your english right at least.
    Paul Klein, at OPT we focus on strength primarily first in teaching chin ups for females...this is first impt for development of scapular muscles...b/c what females have far better than us in co-ordinattion enables them to get the kip easy but over time leads to more ripped hands and fatigue in large numbered chin up sessions b/c of lack of initial strength in the scapula - low trap, rhomboid mainly.....the gals you see that can "hang on" when the reps get high in the wods for chin ups are the ones who can also perform well executed strict chin ups and muscle ups

    Should have started heavier on Mix chin-ups. Left shoulder kills me on the Powells and the ext rot. Probably a bad sign.

  10. Thanks James.
    I don't think it changes anything but I scored a 1.5 on WOD 1 not 1.7as listed.

  11. Still hurting on the outside of my right knee. It happens whenever I do OHS or Snatch. My feet land very far apart and my toes are pointed outboard, especially when fatigued or going heavy. I have self/internet diagnosed it as "runner's knee" of some sort. Sudden movements hurt (on the outside of my knee) as well as trying to bend it into full ROM. Anyone experience this and have good advice?

    Will likely avoid parts of Workouts that involve use. Again...any suggestions here?

    ReplyDelete
  12. chris, does it hurt when you air squat or back squat?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Great Job to all the ladies and of course Kat you are a beast!!! Fantastic one day i want to grow up and be just like you ha ha ok maybe that will have to be my daughter.

    Great point on the pullups James - i certainly do still notice that my "strength" to do strict pullups is still not what it should be and that is probably because i learned to kip my pullups right out of the gate. This is obviously why i stil can't do a damn muscle up either. So Paul do what he says!! I am assuming that the negatives and the isolated db rotations and powell raises we are doing now is to help build this strength.

    Question for adding weight to pullups, ring dips etc do most of you wear a weight vest or is there another way to do this. I find holding a db between my legs very awkward.

    James enjoy the summit and thank you for everything that you do.

    ReplyDelete
  14. James,

    If I attempt to bend it in any way, it hurts. It gets better by the day. Today (for instance), I can make it to about 6" above parallel in an air squat before it hurts.

    Going easy (damper at about 4 w/ pace of about 2:10/500m for 1000m) on the C2 is slightly uncomfortable, but seems to loosen it up a bit. It seems like resting/keeping it immobile helps the ROM increase daily. I've been avoiding anti-inflammatory meds, but may reconsider. Wierd thing is no swelling/discoloration.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Lisa - I use a large mens leather belt and loop in the weights or kettle bells. Hangs nicely over my hips and between the legs. Make sure the belt is large so the weights are between your legs and not on your pubic bone. This works the best for me.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Wow. Lots of totally new stuff today.

    A1: 6x15kg, 5x15kg, 4x15kg, 4x15kg
    A2: all 6x70kg (humbling weight)

    B1: 11, 9, 9
    B2: 20kg, 21kg, 26kg

    No time for more unfortunately. Liked the 1,25 squats and the mixed grip chinups alot! Didn't really get the feel for the leaned chinups. Hard to find good position.

  18. for db forward lunges, do you lunge forward and drive back to start or continue walking?

    ReplyDelete
  19. I shut it down today after part A. I am feeling under recovered and attribute that to a nasty stomach problem I have had for a few weeks, which is not allowing me to eat nearly enough. I'm going to the doctor later today, but I feel like the problem is diet related. it seems like eggs,apples,tomatoes set it off.

    Hopefully I can find an answer today and get back to eating proper amounts of food.

    Has any else heard of these problems after switching to mostly paleo? I;ve been mostly paleo for about 6 months now so it seems odd that it has come up only recently.

    ReplyDelete
  20. PTS,

    No problems here, but I have heard of issues w/ tomatoes (in excess) if insufficient fat is consumed. I practically live off almond butter and apples, so I can't help w/ the apple portion. Don't eat eggs all that often, but have this week (work travel) with no effects.

    Good luck and let us know what the doc says. You could also try looking at Robb Wolf's blog; if nothing similar is mentioned there, drop him a line and see his thoughts.

    Had to cut C1/C2 short, had to get to class. The pull-ups were done on my rings because I am yet to build a pull-up bar in my garage.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Shut the A's down early due to shoulder pain and low energy. Basically walked through the rest of the WOD to say I did something. Weights were light, form was key.

    PTS, sounds like food insensitivity/intolerance more than anything paleo-related. DO you eat a lot of those particular foods?

    Chris F, foam roll the s^%t out of that leg. Use something worse than a roller to really get in there.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Great work KAT - it was awesome to witness 3 of your 4 WODS!
    And to Lisa - I use the same method as Kat for weighted chins and it works great!

    A1. 10#(4)/10#(4)/10#(3)/10#(3)
    A2. 135# (6) for all 4 sets
    *never done these...hard as hell

    B1.4/5/5
    *I repeat...never done these...hard as hell
    B2. 35(8)/40(8)/45(8)

    C1. 10# (8) for all 3 sets
    C2. 35 x 3 all unbroken which was a small achievement for me :o)

    Now a question for James or anyone else that wants to weigh in.....

    and I'm wondering, for the chins, if it's better for me to use a little less weight but get that last rep or if I should just stick with the weight I have and fail while trying the 4th rep.
    In the past, I have normally played it safe and been able to achieve all the reps for the required number of sets. Today I pushed it and wasn't able to get the exact number of reps but I felt like I "busted my balls" (if I had em) better than normal.

    Thoughts....anyone?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Geoff: I do eat a lot of those foods, but I have for months. I've also tried eliminating each of those foods one at a time and I;m currently not taking any supplements,fish oil vitamins etc., Even with all these steps about 2 of every 3 meals makes me feel awful.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Geoff,

    What do you suggest as an option even worse than a foam roller?

  26. Did this one at THE Hotel- Mandalay Bay, so I had limited equipment to work with.

    A1. 15/15/15 x 6

    C1. 10/12.5/15

  28. CHRIS-
    I have been dealing with that "runners knee", bursitis, etc etc...for 6 weeks now. I roofed my house and was on my knees for 18 hours over the weekend and my right knee is still inflammed and not getting better. Hurts while squatting or bending my knee. The only thing that helped was an anti-inflammatory that i took over the weekend for the Big Dawg comp. I ice 2-3x a day and avoid all squatting. I am going to take 1-2 weeks completely off, per advice from OPT and see if that helps. ITS VERY FRUSTRATING, trust me.

    PTS-
    I'll shoot you an email...

  29. A1: 12.5 for all--alternated which hand was supinated each set--left weaker so stayed at 12.5 for all
    A2: started at 88lbs, but not doing tempo, then coming up way too high so went to 60 lbs for the rest to get it. A bit of a slow learner! Thanks Rob again for the tips.

    B1: 5/3/4
    B2: 35/30/35(6 per leg) Grip was giving out before legs for once.

    C1: 10bs for all left side weak--just getting 8 reps each time
    C2: all complete

  30. Holy crap that was wicked!!

    A1: 7.5# for all thanks Kat the belt worked awesome

    A2: 95/95/100/100 kept the weight a little lower and really concentrated on depth and stopping at 90 those were hard

    B1: 4/4/4 hard!!
    B2 25/30/35

    C1: 10# left side felt stronger today which is weird. Was interesting trying to rig a set up where i could even get into the proper position to do these i was LOL at myself it was quite comical.

    C2: quick used abmat and hip add.

    A1. 10#x5, 10#x5, 12.5#x4, 12.5x4
    I alternated btw right hand supinated and left hand supinated, hence the same weight in back to back sets.

    B1. 6/6/4

    C1. 10#x10/arm too light, 12.5#x10/arm also too light, 15#x10/arm the last 2 reps were tuff. I need to start on 15#.
    C2. 35x3 unbroken
    The pull ups and 1 1/4 squats really highlighted some big weaknesses.

  36. i went to dr. and he suggested i take prilosec otc for 4 weeks for what he deemed was an inflamed stomach. i guess this is the route i will take and see it goes.

    ReplyDelete
  37. PTS, booooo on the drugs; they don't solve the issue, they just mask it. Maybe the symptoms go away for a while but the problem still exists and it will re-appear somewhere else down the line. If you can find some HMF like we sell at OPT it might help get some happy flora happening in your stomach. Next go find a naturopath to figure out what's going on with your digestion.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Holy Smokes this one was no joke! The back squats crushed me. It wasn't the tempo as much as the change of direction going from depth, stopping, going back down and then back up. This was a totally new feeling for me, I felt strong out of the hole but after having to stop and go back to full depth I had no "pop" to come back up. Can anyone tell me more about the theory behind this 1 1/4 squat?

    A1. 6 reps for all 15lbs, 20, 25, 32.5
    A2. 8x155, 8x155, 7x160, 6x160

    PTS... my 0.02... I agree with Geoff in part in that drugs do cover things up as opposed to getting at the root of the problem (however this isn't always the case and sometimes drugs are good when taken appropriately for the right things)... but in something like gastritis or gastroenteritis (at least, that sounds what you have been diagnosed with) one should take things with a grain of salt... in my experience most doctors dont curtail to people that are in this community, in the sense that they are proactive of their own health and aren't just looking for a quick fix, a pill, a cure-all without having to work or put any time or effort into things... i.e. the typical lazy american attitude. no, i would say that most people just blindly take the quick and easy. however, this community is different and for good reason... gastritis is a good example of something like this. it is kind of a grab-bag, lumped diagnosis that doesn't really mean a whole hell of a lot as there are a myriad of causes for this. from vascular, to infectious, to neoplastic, to inflammatory, to allergic, to traumatic, to stress, to metabolic, to anatomic/physiologic... etc... anywho, not to beat a dead horse with a stick... to get back to it, doctors are basically clueless and when they don't know something, they can lump it into the 'ever so inclusive' gastritis (inflamed stomach) or something similar... well, since you were prescribed prilosec, lets see what exactly that does for you...
    prilosec is a PPI (proton pump inhibitor), which decreases the acid production of the acid in your stomach. this is good for people that have issues with high acid production from things such as cancer (zollinger ellison syndrome from a gastrinoma), high acid reflux (not biliary or low acid reflux... but high acid reflux, leading to GERD, Barretts and subsequently cancer), for ulcers where acid can be irritative, or for prophylaxis of stress ulcers (from trauma, namely head trauma and burns... which are called Cushing and Curling ulcers respectivly)... However, if you don't have an acid imbalance, what good is it?... can anything else be done?... well, in honesty, i am not sure about the egg issue for you, however, apples and tomatoes are high in acid and perhaps, you can try to avoid higly acidic foods for awhile... perhaps you can correct your own acid imbalances (the act of doing this from a dietary standpoint is beyond my knowlege)... so, it is not that prilosec is a bad drug, but it may not be the right thing for you... take it with a grain of salt, and try to understand why your stomach seems to have an imbalance... on the flip side, however, if you do take it for 4 wks and symptoms don't improve then you have effectively shown that it likely is not an acidity issue... if however things do improve, then the acid in your stomach is irritating something (ulcers, normal flora, etc)... and lastly, i leave you with this (sorry about the long reply)... i have always been a doubting Thomas and always wondered how easy it is to dx gastritis if you haven't taken a look at the stomach with an endoscope (not that this is needed by any means in your case)... i'm just saying, with your atypical presentation, how can the doc know?... well, my opinion is that he doesn't and that it falls into the grab bag of things that will just possibly get improve with time anyway, whether the cause is figured out or not...
    anywho... my 0.02...

  53. wanted to mention one more thing...

    Chris...

    i'd venture to say that 80-90% of lateral knee pain is caused by one of three things
    1) Lateral meniscus
    2) IT Band
    3) Bone bruise
    (however, this does not include the poss etiologies of the above three... which can be anything from a high arch/unstable arch or ankle to hip and low back instability...)

    and as a reference...
    90% of medial knee pain is usually do to
    1) Bone bruise
    2) Medial Meniscus
    3) MCL
    4) Pes Anserene Bursitis

    good luck and def try to release as much as you can!... hope you feel better...

  60. Sweeney:

    CF Las Vegas is only a couple of minutes away from Mandalay Bay. I've never worked out there as it's not a real convenient location for me but I've heard good things about it. I do all the OPT workouts at my house as I have turned my garage into a crossfit gym.

    I've been MIA for a while due to training for a sprint triathlon and a recent cracked rib from playing football but slowly easing back in and now almost 100%. I have nothing going on this weekend and will be doing the WOD's here at the house so if you'd like to join in, give me a call (702-806-0389) or shoot me an email (brian@LVraintree.com). I live about 20min from the strip.

    Good call, by the way, on The Hotel. Mandalay Bay is one of our favorite casinos on the strip. How long are you in Vegas for?

  61. OUCH i hurt big time from yesterday - AWESOME!!

    PTS - my 2 cents would be similar to what Geoff said. I would try a really good probiotic - Garden of Life brand called Primal Defense is probably the best on the market. I would also try a digestive enzyme and something called Betaine - this will help with acid issues as well as any potential digestion of certain proteins typically that our bodies might be having difficulty with. You can use the Wobenzyme as a digestive enzyme but it is very expensive. Douglas labs have some amazing products and if you are interested fire me an email and let me know where you live and i can find someone near you who carries it - Douglas stuff is pharmaceutical grade so you can't get them in a health food store. Also i think a naturopath is a great idea just try and find a good one my only issue sometimes with many of them is that everything is an allergy to them.

  65. Woke at 0500 in Woburn, MA and Right Knee was still stiff as hell. Decided not to do the workout then. Was able to change flights and came back early to CA. Decided to fully rest the knee today and tomorrow (day off from workout and work).
