Get ready for some more muscle soreness!
I'll proudly wear my new Anvil t-shirt tomorrow.

Ross Blake said...

Went and got some straps after this one last week so this will be my first time using them. Out of curiosity what's the difference i should expect in regards to load and or stimulus? Any tips on how to best use them?

Cheers
Rosko

Brent Maier said...

Rob, that t-shirt alone is going to automatically add 3% to your lifts. I think I'll wear mine tomorrow too.

Man, the wife cut the hair this evening and she says she saw some white hairs. Nah, I call them white lightnings! The better you get at Crossfit, the more you get! I'll have a few more by the end of the day tomorrow. :)

Keep up the intensity big dawgs, this is going to be an exciting cycle!

Anonymous said...

Brent - does that go for going bald
too? Can't call what i've got going on "white lightening" though...

Just finished posting the past few days of training. Internet isn't set up at the house yet so I'm using my phone.

Coach, is there anything else us out-of-towners can post in addition to loads/times/etc to give you a better idea of where everyone stands? I'm thinking body mass index, height, weight, stuff like that...

Now that I'm back home, and can think about what goes in my mouth, do the dogs recomend any reading on diets or supplaments?

Question to the dawgs- how does everyone keep track of their wods? Is there a good program out there or app for the iPhone. Or do you just blog it or journal it??

Thanks

Geoff Aucoin said...

I blog it.

Steve, look to Robb Wolf for food ideas (great website). Go paleo as much as possible then consider Zone. If you're under 10% BF then you're already on the right track. If you supplement, get it from OPT.

Erik Luber said...

Lisa - I use Google calendars. Having a search function for everything you have ever done is really useful.

Chris Fodera said...

Lisa,

I blog it as well, both here and on my own blog. The nice thing about keeping your own personal blog is the ability to use keywords for future searching efforts. You can also chronicle the other aspects of your day as they happen.

Dr Lisa said...

Thanks everyone I am a bit of a computer retard so I didn't know you could search in your blog because inqas wondering how you could easily locate past workouts, PRs etc. I will start blogging

A2. 163(7)/187(7)/ 196(5)/206(5)

B1. 7.5(6)/10(6)/10(6) *tempo was suspect on last set
B2. as usual, no GHD so did my modification...I think I need to come up with something better but I did 3 sets of 15.

Shoulder was very sore so skipped out on rotations and did 2 sets of Toes to Bar as hanging started to aggravate my arm even more. Toes to Bar were horribly broken.

I was feeling a little tried coming into today's workout but once I got into it I felt good and strong. As my numbers indicate, I either didn't push myself hard enough the first time or I was in a better mental space today ( I'm leaning towards this) because I was able to lift significantly more for bench and deadlift. (15# on bench but I attribute this to the fact that I had a spotter and 20# on my deadlift....lower body's been feeling strong lately)

60 min later: ground turkey (w/ tomatoes, onions, garlic, spinach), apple, almond butter

I felt good throughout the entire WOD. Went up well in bench and significantly in SGDL (figured out how to use straps).

Unfortunately, it was just pointed out to me that GHD Raises are not the same as GHD SitUps (which is what I did and have been doing every time they come up). Went up in Weighted Dips as well.

Didn't go up in weight on C1 because it was too have last time and form was shit. Went down 5 pounds (to 20#) for first 2 sets and then gutted through 25 (equal to weight used on Day 1 for all 3 sets) for last set.

Absolutely fell apart on last set of toes to bar.

Dr Lisa said...

A1: 100/105/110/115

C1 12#s on first round too heavy for very weak and uncoordinated left arm went back to tens as per James suggestion
C2 18 grip was crap today and dumb globo has terrible pullup bars

Garage Crossfitter said...

Robb Wolf's blog was an interesting read, i wish i was there to form my own opinion. Coach i doubt you will give your opinion on it but i would really like to hear it...

Either way, our BIG DAWG COMMUNITY STILL KICKS ASS! WHOOOOOF!!!

Lisa,

We have customized OPT wod log books arriving in the next few days - James designed these considering what you may want to log/document. They have space for you to document workout, sleep, energy, pr's, nutrition, etc. And... James would be happy to personally sign anyone's copy!

Leighanne
OPT

Dr Lisa said...

Leighanne - definitely sign me up for a signed copy that would be awesome!!!!!

Becky - holy crap girl 4 kids is alot!! Wow. Very impressive. I think the external rotations are to help build thoose little muscles to help with muscle ups pullups and ring work- just my guess

Wes hendricks said...

Leighanne

count me in on one to as I log all of those things(sleep, diet, training, recovery) on my blog everyday and waste a considerable amount of time throughout the day doing those things.

Paul Klein said...

I'm in Detroit for Thanksgiving visting inlaws. I will have to make up a few wods for the hotel gym I will be using the next two days.

I too am interested in James's take on the Robb Wolf deal and the current situation in the CrossFit community.

I having been thinking for a while now how nice it would be for James to put on his own seminar on programming basics. I would like to learn more about the theory behind all of this. I could also picture franchising or affiliation (The Anvil Powered by OPT? or my place powered by OPT?) Am I out of line here?

C1. 8kgx14(left)+17(right)/ 12kgx14(left)+13(right)/ 12kgx12(left)+11(right)
C2. all 3 sets unbroken (with kip)

notes:
- jumped weight to fast in A1. and couldn't stay in the range (maintained the same weight until the final set to try to push myself)
- don't have straps yet so used hook grip however if I have to be honest I think my technique was the limiting factor towards the end and not my grip
- GHD raises surprised the heck out of me...hamstrings burned all the way through
- don't have dumbells at the gym at the moment (donated the old dumbells to another box that is starting up) so used kettlebells which made handling the weight awkward. Could definitely have gone heavier.

Brent Maier said...

Shocking... It sounds like James stayed clear of the controversy and persevered going into the 2nd day of the seminar. There is definately a problem with the quality of the affilates and there is a lot of contention swelling at the core. For the sake of the Crossfit comunity as a whole, I hope HQ will learn from their mistakes and make the right decisions before the dragon does eat it's own tail, as James put it.

A1. 75/80/85(6)/85(6)
A2. 95/115/125/135(6) - no straps, grip started to be the issue
B1. 8x 3 - figured out a way to set up dips. i feel like i could have done the desired reps unassisted but not at the rxed tempo so used green band to ensure correct tempo
B2. 10#(10)/10(10)/10(10)
C1. 15# 10/10/10 - both arms
C2. had issues with T2B... subbed GHD situps 18x 3 sets

Question on the dips... I feel like I could have done the desired reps but not at the rx'ed tempo. Is it better to do assisted unbroken sets or unassisted broken sets when there is a desired tempo?

First time doing the db ext. rotations properly... man those were tough. I found out I am ridiculously unbalanced, felt about 50%-80% strong on my right arm. Made sure to do the same number of reps on both arms...not sure if this is correct though.

rackempackem said...

Hello! This is a refreshing place in the CF-community! I'm a long time follower and vivid supporter of the blogg. Also done the WOD's now and then. I promise i will post results if i do so in the future after reading your (Coach James) request on that. At the moment involved in a Wendler 5/3/1 strength cycle combined with some shorter metcons (DU-training!!)since strength by far is my most apparent problem area. After this Cycle i plan on committing to you programming.

PS. I totally owe you for attacking my biggest goat head on- Double Unders. And they are finally giving in. It's so brilliant to specify unbroken reps. Simple and brilliant.

Thanks for all the work you do for us!

Geoff Aucoin said...

Had to modify this WOD due to a woefully inadequate fire hall gym (one barbell, no dip bar, no ghd...) so I just stuck with the theme and tried to up the intensity from last week. Did DBs for bench and 3 reps of 225 DLs; dips done between 2 incline benches and good mornings instead of GH raise, toes-to-bar next to impossible due to pull-up bar being so low so I did kipping K2E until my grip gave out. Upped my ext rot weights, though!!

April said...

A1. 65# (could have gone up, but not having a spotter made me a little nervous)

B2. back ext (can't do full GHD raises on our current set up in the anvil...will have to come up with something.)

Then Aubrey woke up and I ran out of time.

Lindsey, I think it is better to follow the tempo.

did this on an empty stomach 3hrs after waking. Felt ok when moving load and used heavier loads compared to last week. Light headed between sets.. Ate a Lara bar during second half of workout which got me thru.. Felt like I was bonking until that point..

Always learning! Nice!!

What a brouhaha kicked up this past weekend and I wonder what kind of shockwaves this'll have throughout the community...

Despite all the infighting and chaos that may be ensuing, OPT is my coach, bottom line.

This pack runs together.

Leighanne sign me up for one of those journals as well. My composition notebook just got less sexy.

- Previous weight used was 205. Rep range was higher last time. Felt VERY strong on the first set and got too excited. Dropped weight on the last to try and keep it within the rep range. No way I could have done this last time though.

A2. 325 x 7, 325 x 7, 325 x 7, 325 x 7
- Previous weight used was 315. Same reps. Felt good.

B1. 53 x 8, 53 x 8, 62 x 7
- Slight change in hand position. used two flat benches instead of bars.

B2. 12, 11, 15
- Damn it's good to have the right equipment again!!! Could have gone to 15 each. Cut short for some reason though.

C1. 10lbs, 19lbs, 19lbs

Going to have to check out the debate that kicked up. I'm clueless.

I do have to say though that I'm incredibly grateful to Coach Glassman, Crossfit, and OPT, regardless.

And thanks to everyone here. This place rocks.

Thanks April i emailed Unit and hopefully will get that sent out asap.

Checked out the robb wolff blog - wow. i am relatively new to the whole cf community and i love the people and science behind the workouts. It does truly sadden me though that it appears the "powers that be" are not open to change and open to the fact that the "science" of exercise and diet is always improving and we must change to accomodate the new things that we learn to better our performance and our health. Again James I am truly grateful to have stumbled upon this blog and i know that all of us here are benifitting from your constant quest for knowledge and personal improvement in body, mind and spirit. I hope that cooler heads will prevail and HQ will come to its senses...

up 5 from last time. benching alone had to stop on last set. Although at this weight I could slid down to the hips and stand up. Done it before!

GHRs: 8, 6, 6
Ext rots: 12x10R/10L, 12x7R/7L, 12x7R7L
TTB: 18, 18, 18

Significant progress across the board from several days ago.

BP total load: up 3.9%

SGDL total load: up 34.8%
Started too light last time, and did 8 reps/set this time (not intentional), both of which skew the comparison. Still, I have more to give on these if I can hang onto the bar. Straps help, but still want to slide inboard as my grip fatigues.

Dip total load: up 25%
Doesn't include BW, so not as big a diffrence as it seems. Still, felt stronger on these.

Big difference on the GHRs, as today was the first time I've done these to tempo without a band assist. Hands behind back. Pretty happy about liberating myself from the assistance on this exercise/tempo combination.

Ext Rots total load: up 14.3%

TTB: straight through for all sets. Used straps on the last two sets as my grip was smoked from hanging on the rotating bar.

All in all, very happy with the progress.

Joel B. said...

At Robb and Nicki's recommendation I changed from zone to unweighed/unmeasured paleo (almost all paleo anyway). I actually cheat far less due to the decreased neuroses in my case. Less time feeling deprived and counting blocks and more time eating good meat and veggies. My cheats are less frequent, and more innocuous than when I blocked. I end up eating more but my weight is the same and I am stronger. I don't know the other parties involved, but Robb is the man. I seek out excellence. That is what brought me to this blog too, long before I started doing the training and posting.

Thanks to James and Garage I'm down from 215 to 208.5 in three weeks. Pretty sweet. Feeling pretty strong and leaning out. 

Bumped up the bench press and held on pretty well throughout the tempo. Adjusted the pins on the rack to get the higher weight and not have to worry about dropping the weight on my chest!

Squats felt strong, but I just couldn't hold the tempo for the last set.

Dips and raises for tempo. Hammies on fire the whole time. 

Lowered the weight on the ext rot from last time. 

Toes to bar were easier than the last time now that I used a supinated grip.  

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and thanks to all the servicemen out there!
