  1. James - I'm going home after spending a few extra days in Austin to ponder and plan after the Black Box Summit. Many thanks for taking a few minutes here and there throughout the weekend to talk to my mother and I about the big things and little things that matter. I haven’t been doing the Big Dawgs program in recent months, so by standard definitions, I have no right to call you “coach”, but that’s how it felt this past weekend. You said the right things, the things that needed to be said, both during your presentations and in individual conversations. On top of that, you said them in such way that you became everyone’s coach for the weekend. Amidst all the controversy, you instructed us, trained us and empowered us.
    Thanks coach!

  9. James:

    Quick intro and apology. My name is Jon, and I've been doing the programmed WODs for the last two months at Potomac Crossfit in Washington DC. I competed last year in Aromas with you as an individual, and am looking to continue making progress.

    I had no idea that you programmed based on the athletes who post so I'll start doing it now.

    I'd love to start learning more about the methodologies you are using.... any recommended reading? (specifying tempo, the supplemental shoulder work, dictating rest periods etc.) I really like learning about other S+C techniques and using them to continue progressing as a coach and athlete.

    Results for today:

    A1: 9,8,8,8 (The tempo stuff thrashes me)
    A2. 225 6 reps, 230 6 reps, 230 6 reps, 230 6 reps (High Bar BS)
    B1. 5, 5, 5 (Grip went because of the slow negatives)
    B2. 60 lb DBS sets of 7,7,7 each leg
    C1. 15 lb DB Slow negatives and lots of strange looks in a CF gym
    C2. 35,35,35, fast and unbroken

    Completely underestimated the difficulty of the squats, given the pace and addition of the quarter movement. Pace was not at all what it should have been. Will need to adjust the weight next time.

  21. The hotel I'm at is short on good strength equipment. So I did double under practice this morning (I carry my Buddy Lee rope) and the DB external rotation with 10lbs. Then in the afternoon I ran a 5K, 24.58.

    Felt something strain on the last set in my right mid-back.

    First day back since challenge. Got sick right after. Totally sucked.

    Took it nice and easy but today still kicked my ass.

    A1-20# for 6 reps across the board
    A2-40KGx8,45KGx8 for last 3 rounds

    Squats were tough and my legs felt like rubber after. Been a while since I've done any leg work.

    B1-5,4,3 Wow really hard.
    B2-20#DB'sx8 per leg across the board.

    C1- 15#x8 across the board.

    The powell raises felt almost theraputic. My shoulders really like these.

    C2-35,35,35

    Didn't kill the situps just kept an easy pace through all sets.

    I was tanked at the end and felt a little pukie. I think it was the squats and lunges. My legs haven't had a good hit in a while.

    I have a few questions for coach or anyone that can help.
    1. Do i stop at fatigue OR when I can't hold tempo anymore. On the supinated chin ups I good have done a few more but i could not maintain tempo?
    2. On the 1 1/4 back squats, on the 4 count down does that occur from top to bottom and reset on the 1/4 squat or is it inclusive of the 1/4 squat.
    Thanks for any and all of your help

    Much stronger going to the left than to the right on the mixed-grip chins.

    Squats felt quite a bit better than last time.

    Right index finger likes to fall asleep on the lean-away chins.

    Didn't feel great before or at the start, so I'm pleased to have improved.

    last time = 5820 [185x8,205x8,225x6x2]
    notes... not sure if this is how total load increase is to be calculated, however i'm analyzing it nonetheless... A1 last time, i quit at 6 b/c this was the high end of the rep range... 45lb this time, would not have been able to get more... although i did not squat as heavy on any given set, i kept the reps up at a high-ish wt (for me) and wound up increasing my total wt load lifted...

    B1- 5/5/5... dec one rep ea set, a dec of 17% if you use bodywt as the wt lifted...
    B2- 70s/ 70s/ 70s... inc 24%
    last -50/60/60

    C1- 20(10)/ 25(10)/ 25(8)
    total load = 650 (18%inc)
    last time= 15(10)/20(10)/25(8)= 550
    C1- hands behind head, elbows to knee... 35sec/ 37sec/ 41sec

    i've had some difficulty figuring out the correct movement for the supinated chin-ups so i filmed a set and was wondering if i could receive some critiques and suggestions as to how to better perfrom this exercise as it's supposed to be done... thoughts on how to improve form, tempo, movement, etc... would be much appreciated!

    I am fairly certain that the 1 second pause at the bottom is from a dead hang (not held leaning away from the bar) and the concentric portion is a straight chin up (not pulling to the bar from a "leaning away" position).

    So, it would look like this:
    1. Start from a dead hang
    2. Pull up over the bar (1 sec)
    3. Hold the top position (1 sec)
    4. Push and lean away from the bar on the way down (4 sec)
    5. Once you reach the end range of the eccentric (you've straightened your arms) you would reposition your body under the bar to assume a dead hang (same as the starting position of the first rep)
    6. Hold the bottom for 1 second and begin the next rep.

    Coach, correct me if I'm wrong.

    Hope that makes sense and helps answer your questions.

    Dennis

  47. Unit,

    I did them the same way Dennis is describing. After each rep, I would go back to a dead-hang, then do a regular pull-up, before leaning as far back as possible at the top of the bar and lowering down.

    Coach or anyone else?

    Steve

  48. Feel like shite today tired stressed out!! Going to hit this one tommorow when hopefully I feel better.

    I have been doing a supergreen food smoothie with protein and fruit and raw cacoa on the mornings but found on the days that I do this my stomach/bowels are "off" and I quite often feel crappy. Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone have a clue why this is happenning. Any insight would be great. Not sure if it's a detox thing happening or what

  49. Hey dawgs,

    Been out of the loop past couple days as term papers are kicking my butt. Little sleep and too much time staring at a screen. Back in it for next day though. Welcome to the new Dawgs and some great numbers today and yesterday.

  50. A1: 10lbs,6; 12.5lbs,6; 15lbs,6; 17.5lbs,6. No kipping on these

    A2: 135,8; 140,8; 145,8; 150,6; I moved the bar to a low bar back squat position and these felt much better today.

    B1: 6,6,5. I did dead hang, then strict on the way up.

    B2: 50,8; 55,8; 60,8.

    C1: 15lbs, 10; 15, 10; 20, 4. 15 lbs felt good, but stepping it up to 20 felt like a huge jump.

    C2: 35, 35, 35

    I got the 3% increase on most of the lifts. I was really tired when I came into the gym, but once I got moving everything was better.

  51. steve / dennis,
    thanks again...
    after reading y'alls explinations it became apparently clear that i wan't doing them as rx'ed...
    i think i had the 'front lever pull' in my head as the movement (tough as $h!t)... as seen performed by the beasts from gymnasticbodies.com

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwCv1Yjb8MI

    anywho... the source of err came from picturing the above... thanks for the clarification!... what a great community this is!

    C2. All unbroken w/ AbMat

    PWO: 40gP (MRM shake), 15gC (mashed sweet potatoes w/ cinnamon)
    60 min later: turkey, apple, almond butter

    Notes: Didn't do this WOD last time...was resting my knee.

    Warmed up with 1000m row at about 2:20/500m pace. Knee felt tight at first, but but loosened after row/stretch/FoamRolling.

    A1. Mixed grip chin ups felt pretty good. I think I can go heavier next time.

    A2. I skipped the back squat because I could feel the tightness when I went below parallel doing AirSquats during the WarmUp.

    B1. Lean Away Supinated ChinUps felt pretty good. I used a kip to get up since it was only 1 sec. I would like to see some more videos if anyone else (besides unit) has them. Is the idea to just lean back as far as possibly or attempt what could be described as a pseudo lever?

    B2. I decided to do the lunges because my knee was feeling good and unweighted lunges felt ok. This wasn't that smart, because my knee felt tight and uncomfortable from that point forward.

    C1. Powell raises were fairly easy at 15 but somewhat difficult to get 10 at 20#.

    C2. Used the AbMat here and worked on speed. All were unbroken and felt pretty fast.

  53. unit and all,

    I thought this was to be a hybrid of what is being described and what unit actually did. I am under the impression that it should have been a normal chin up, but your best attempt at a level on the decent. Thoughts?

    That YouTube video is sick, unit. That kid looks like he is about 16...daaaaaaamn

    Kicked up all the weights today. It was hard, it hurt and I feel good. Coach is keeping it toasty in the dawg house. Ouuu. Brought the wrist straps today because my grip gave way last week on the 3rd round of 65# db lunges.

    So, I broke my magical jump rope before Challenge #2 and ever since, my jump roping has went to hell in a handbasket. What the... I'm still dumbfounded and still trying to figure out what the hell is going on. I go from x75 unbroken to can barely keep 20's going in my warmups. *shaking head*

  56. Brent - The magical jump rope's downfall didn't happen to coincide with the appearance of white lightning, did it?

    Unit - Couldn't agree more. This is a great 'place.'

  58. Steve, you're dead on with the lean away. Strict supinated pull up for 1, hold chin over bar for 1, push away from the bar/lean away for a 4 count, dead hang for 1, repeat.

  66. OPT, thanks for the insightful lecture and presentation at the Black Box Summit. The Summit was a great venue to share "open source" ideas and concepts that can help us do what most of us want to do the most, "help humans reach their potential." OPT, your business and training model rings a tone with my over arching philosophy of how I operate. I have been in PT practice for over 20 years, and I would say that your knowledge and practical experience rivals that of any lecturer I have heard in years! Keep it up. I have signed up for your newsletter and look forward to all the new product development in 2010! CrossFit Fort Worth

  68. Did my own thing on today's rest day as I didn't do the WOD yesterday.

    Worked up to 274 for 3 reps in back squat, felt good so stopped there. Then I did half of the CF.com WOD of;

    20 min for rounds - 15 DUs, 15 GHD sit-up, 15 back ext. 7 full rounds + 1 sit-up in 10 minutes. Ow, abs are fried. Everything unbroken.
