Day 14 Training:

A1. Front Squat @ 30X0; 2-3 x 5; rest 10 sec
A2. AMRAP Chin Ups; 5 sets; rest 240 sec
+
AMRAP extra ROM HSPU in 1 minute; rest 10 sec
5 max vertical jump and extend; rest 10 sec
25 unbroken GHD sit ups hands overhead; rest 60 sec

(increase your normal ROM on the HSPU on parallettes, plates, you choose, increase your negatives distance, or find ways to make it harder; take 5-7 seconds in b/t max vertical jump - fully extend body at top height)

post loads for A1 and reps for A2 as well as notes on the gymnastics to comments; post your highest jump in inches if your measuring

82 comments:

  1. A1. 3x80kg, 3x85kg, 3x90kg, 2x90kg (missed to raise weight..), 2x92.5kg
    A2. 40, 25, 25, 20, 20

    Only time for 3 rounds of the gymnastics. Increased ROM 17cm on HSPU and did 5, 4 and 3 rep/round. GHD unbroken. Didn't really feel that explosive on jumps. Didn't measure height.

    Both kids are sick.- Wonder I I'll get it too?

    AMRAP. 9-8-7-7
    Jumps. felt like i wasn't going anywhere
    GHD. Unbroken

    HSPU were done on paralettes which are a foot off of the ground and I spaced them 28 inches apart. I put two 25's and a 10 lb bumper on ground for head to touch. So my head was touching a target 5 inches off of the ground

    A2. 41,24,23,21,16 (grip fell off fast)

    AMRAP 3,4,4,4 (ROM half inch or so below the bottom of the parallettes)
    42,42,43,43 inches
    GHDs - last set had a couple of breaths in it, will have to work on keeping hands overhead, I am using them for momentum, though I am touching the ground

  5. A1. 135, 145, 155, 165, 175
    A2. 37, 30, 29, 22, 22

    Still being very careful with the knee, so squats are light but smooth. All pull-ups were butterfly with whole head over horizontal plane and no pauses to reset.

    I will have to get to the gymnastics portion in a couple hours, will post then.

  6. A1. 205, 225, 235, 250, 260
    A2. 30, 21, 17, 15, 14 (C2B)
    HSPU- 12, 7, 6
    GHD situps- broken every set, still a big weakness due to hip flexor weakness.

    Front squats were all heavier than last time, first and last set of pullups were more.

    Was smoked after FS/ PU. Did not eat enough this morning I don't think. I couldn't recover at all after my pull ups.

  8. Aucoin I appreciate you taking the time to watch my video. I was a little confused though because to me it appears that I am pausing for a count of one one thousand in the hang position after each rep.

  11. Hey James or any Big Dawg,
    should we do pullups the same way as last week to compare results/improvement or should we switch it up such as doing strict pullups this week?

  13. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkrKcf-Ysgs

    If this is the video you are talking about then no, you are definately not pausing at the bottom of the snatch, you are pausing in the hang position. Easy mistake.

    ReplyDelete
  14. haha alrite Aucoin thanks. Obviously I am a little slow so let me make sure I have this right.

    After each rep I need to bring it all the way to the floor, and pause?

    A2 20,19,19,11,11- elbow felt good, it just felt like I had never done a chin before.fighting to find any rhythm. chalk it up a being a little rusty on the chin up bar.

    Hspu- used push up bars. 7,7,6,6
    vertical jump - tried to touch the top of the 8 ft bar at opt. might have been able to get a credit card under there
    GHD situps- unbroken X 3, last set did 10,10,5 (I also didn't do 2 hands as it caused lower back pain)

  16. A1. Front squat - 168.5x3,173.5x3, 178.5x3,183.5x3,188.5x3 The form and speed felt really good today.
    A2. AMRAP pull ups - 28,22,22,20,20I gave about 85-90% on this to test my neck & traps. I did all continuous and tried to maintain rhythm and form. These felt good also.
    +
    HSPU on parallettes to abmat, so about 1" below normal. THese were hard and I had a hard time keeping my feet on the wall. 4,4,4,3
    Vertical jumps - max height about 24"
    GHD sit ups were all unbroken. The last 2 sets were slow in the last 10 reps.

  20. joey, if chin up volume improvement is impt to you then do the same, if variation is key, change it up, or change the entire movement to L ups or diff grips for change, rule of thumb, if you can avg more than 30/set you should vary your grips on this one...

    Only got through 2 rounds of gymnastics before client showed up. HSPUs were done on plyo boxes and was able to complete 4 (failed on 5 both rounds) both rounds touching my shoulders to my hands. GHD situps were slow and broken - still pretty tore up from these on Friday.

    A2 - 27 / 17 / 13 / 12 / 12

    HSPUs done head to ground on paralletes about 4 inches off the ground. 3 reps each round. I would never have thought this would have made such a huge difference to my numbers. Dropped them by a more than 50%. Jumps were unmeasured but probably not all that impressive. Subbed 35 anchored situps for the GHDs as I'm nursing a tweaked lower back.

    Went up in each set of front squats, either in weight or reps.

    Pullups went up for 3 out of the 5 sets (for a total of 5 reps). Last two sets stayed the same.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Wes. No. You pause at the bottom of the movement, not the floor. If the bar touched the floor, it wouldn't be a hang power snatch.

    Hold the bar, dip down to the point where you'd normally dip for a HPS (like mid-thigh) but PAUSE THERE FOR ONE SECOND and then explode up.

    Get it? Got it? Good.

    A2. 15, 15, 15, 14, 13
    - Used Metolius "Rock Rings." Was able to kip, frog a little, but couldn't get a butterfly going.

    Gymnastics:

    HSPU: 5, 8, 6.5, 5.5
    - Used 72lb Kettle Bells. Ears to even with hands. Very stoked that I was able to do these, even if the volume was low.

    Vertical Jump - Height unknown. I think I looked like a fat kid trying to get on the monkey-bars at the playground though.

    GHD Situps - Unbroken. Wanted to break. Wanted to break badly.

    *last two rounds of pullups were strict. Why, you might ask?.......the honest truth is I was being a baby, my hands hurt because I had no chalk. I need to grow some balls....well, not really, but you know what I mean.
    On a side note, things were back to normal today - squats were better than chins - warm up was better and made a big difference.

    HSPUs done to the floor. Was able to get 4 FULL HSPUs the first round which is a big PB!!!! :o)(Previous PB is 1)

    Only did three rounds as I had to start work; they went as follows
    1. 4 full Hspus and 6-8 lowers (I was concentrating more on counting my speed on the lowering so I lost track of how many I did in total.
    2. 2 full HSPUs and 8 lowers
    3. 9 lowers (or more like 8 lowers and 1 head plant)

    All jumps completed and, if I had to guess, they were approx. 12 - 14 inches above extended arm height.
    All GHD situps completed but had to modify slightly as they started to hurt my low back.

  29. joey...
    as an echo to coaches wonderful comments, i agree. personally, i have been taking the opportunity on this strength cycle to do pullups in a strengthening manner. for me, it's been softball grip L-pullups recently... and i can say that i feel that it's making a difference, especially in my ring muscle up work (did 5 L muscle-ups in a row yesterday messing around... previous PR was 1 in a row)...

    geoff,
    i want to thank you for pointing out the correct hang snatch cadence... after reading what you've said, i realize i've been doing it wrong as well and not pausing at maximally low position of the bar... i'll correct this... thank you... i suspect this will drop my weights big time.

  32. Now reading I see we did box jumps rather then vertical jumps. Oh well good times anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  33. A1) 80/85/87.5/90/90kg (all x3)
    A2) 30/21/22/23/20

    I don't have an HSPU so instead of going for reps I worked on just holding the hand stand in place. I also worked out in a gym with an extremely low ceiling and so had to sub broad jumps for box jumps. Nor was there a GHD or back extension station so I subbed in K2E, which I had to break up into numerous sets as my forearms and grip were shot.

    B1) HS-hold for time 30/30/30/15seconds - this last one failed due to my foot slipping into a deep crack in the wall which made me loose my balance and fall.
    B2) broad jumps completed/unmeasured
    B3) K2E completed/broken

    I'm still working on my main goats and will hopefully be able to hit more of these as rx'd in the near future. My failure to do so is a function of not being skilled enough and only having access to extremely poor facilities. My main goats: snatch, DU, HSPU, MU. I wanted to finish off the day with extra snatch and DU practice but didn't have any time.

    Pull ups felt bad, biceps sore as hell from last week, just wasn't feeling the pulls today.

    Gymnastics
    HSPU done with partial ROM: Still don't have full HSPU yet, but did what I could.

    5 HSPU - 38" box x 5
    6 HSPU - 40" box x 5
    6 HSPU - 41.5" box x 5
    5 HSPU - 43" box X 5

    Just for shits and giggles:

    44.5" x 1
    47 5/8" x 1

    Box Jumps felt great, never gone really high before so was a blast doing some extras at the end so see how high I could go. Felt great, explosive and strong!

    hspu were hard today. tried on parallettes. not happening! but i did actually make it to the abmat, planted my head and back up one time. small progress.

    vertical jumps. weren't sure if those were just box jumps or what. so i just jumped up.

    60 min later: steak, apple, almond butter

    Notes:
    A1. Did not do
    A2. L-PullUps felt pretty good...maintaining the L was the limiting factor

    HSPUs done from Rogue Parallettes to a 45# Rogue Bumper. Lowering felt really good...getting out of the deep hole was the difficult part; resorted to kipping.

    Max Vertical Jumps: Did not do

    GHDs: All unbroken

    Right knee felt pretty good all day. Broke down and took an 800mg Motrin last night. Knee felt almost perfect all day. Is starting to hurt a little again now, but I think I will continue to refrain from exercises using it and might also start a regular use of the Motrin.

    HSPU were done on 6 inch blocks, head touching floor, measured 27 inches from middle fgr to middle fgr.

    Chris- I would get to a physical therapist or someone that can do active release therapy. I went once for an hour visit, and the next day i felt great. I would go 1x per week for 3-4 weeks and you should see a big improvement. Also roll on your IT Band, TFL and massage your patella tendon to work out the nasty fluid.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Geoff, I don't think that tempo is correct. Wouldn't that make it a mid-hang muscle snatch?

    ReplyDelete
  39. Josh,

    Thanks a lot. I've been rolling the ITB, but will start rolling the TFL as well as massaging the PT too. I am currently waiting on a call back from Physical Therapy, hopefully I will be in next week w/ an appointment.

    Did you use Motrin or anything of the sort? I was really trying to avoid it, but it has been a while now and I am starting to get pretty antsy.

    A2: 39/26/25/26/20

    HSPU: 5/6/4/3 (my right shoulder really started to hurt in this one)

    V-jumps: could just reach a 9" target for all the jumps - tried to focus on explosion from the hips

    GHD sit-ups: all unbroken although rounds 3 & 4 were muchg harder than I expected them to be

    Should have got 3rd rep on 4th set
    A2: 25, 24, 23, 22, 22
    resorted to gloves between sets...cold and hard to hold bar otherwise. Regular grip and chin breaking vertical plane on all sets/reps. More than last time on both A1 and A2. Wore my polypro layer and that helped too I think.

    HSPU: 3, 5, 4, 4
    All sets parrellettes 24" apart. 1st set head to 6" below. Too much for me. Subsequent sets to 4".
    Vert jumps: all to 9' target. Got up past wrist on all...measured about 8-10" from finger to wrist area roughly. So roughly to 9'9" give or take on all attempts. This means my vj is about 24-26" based on my reach. One step and jump with both feet on all attempts.
    GHD situps: double hand touch, but hands overhead sagged a little the last 10 reps of the last 2 sets especially. Some momentum going on. Unbroken though.

    Part II
    Frustrated with my gymanstic skills. Short on time with studying for finals today so only got first 2 rds in. had 4 then 1 on the paralletts. Never done these and they kicked my butt. Definitely incorporating into my warmups.

    Dead lift bar from floor to high hang, lower bar to just above knees, pause there for 1 second, power snatch explosively (x), pause for 1 second with bar OH, lower bar to just above knees taking 1 second to do so, pause just above knees again for 1 second...

    Front squat felt even better than last time... think I'd go heavier on the last set next time...
    Pullups started a lot better, but lats got real tired and then grip started to go... chalking that up to marshmallows and hot dogs over the fire yesterday...

    HSPU below parallel
    1" - 8
    2" - 7
    3" - 6
    4" - 2

    Vertical jump... for my notes... low sprinkler pipe... had to learn how to hit it with my left hand

    GHD situps 18 reps per round as DOMS from friday was out of control this weekend.

  48. A1. 205, 210, 215, 220, 220 (all were 3 reps)
    A2. 27, 22, 21, 16(slipped off bar), 18

    Squats were 5lbs less than day 10 but I was extremely strict on the tempo and I didn't pause at the top. Not even to take a breath.

    HSPU's head approx 2" below parallets 1. 3 2. 2
    Sets 3 and 4 I had nothing left so I did negatives touching shoulders to the parallets.

    Vert jump felt ok

    GHD sit ups Rounds 1 and 2 were unbroken round 3 and 4 broke 20 + 5.

  53. I only used an anti-inflammatory for the big dawg comp, thats it. Its a temporary fix. You need to get to the root of the problem. LOTS of rolling around the knee and quad. Massage the entire patella tendon, horizontally to go againest the grain, cross-fiction. Also look at your squatting form. Watch kelly staretts vid on squatting. I have been crossfitting over 4 years and i still dont have a perfect squat, it comes with time but i picked up a few things from that vid. I would work slow tempo air squats focusing on keeping knees out over the toes and your ass back, only go to the depth at which there is ZERO discomfort, that will bring back the muscle memory in your legs. Tell your PT to "strain counterstrain" your piriformas. I got MUCH more external rotation out of my right hip after having that done. That allowed me to keep my knee over my right foot much easier.

  56. Gymnastics work, performed after a four hour break while training clients:

    B1: 7-6-6-5
    B2: did not perform
    B3: unbroken-unbroken-20/5-13/6/6

    HSPUs performed head to ground. I haven't performed these in 6 months due to some lingering shoulder pain from an AC injury. Everything is healed up now, and though weak, these felt pretty smooth.

    Still easing the knee back into action, so skipped out on the jumps.

    GHD SUs were rough today.

  57. 38/6'2"/194

    A1 FSx3: 80/90/100/110/125kg (275#) All sets of 3 and at tempo. 135kg (Nov 5, 2009) is my highest single front squat. So the fact that these were at tempo says a lot.

    A2 AMRAP PU: 30/20/20/21/21 - Total: 113 - Tore hands again and improved the count from last week. I didn't take set 1 to failure.

    AMRAP xRom HSPU: 10/7/6/6 (5" depth to floor for all sets)

    5 Max Vert: Jumped with everything I had. Didn't measure.

    25 Unb GHD Situps: All sets unbroken however I went to one arm on stomach and the other to the floor. Honestly, my abs felt like they had been cut open and sewn back together just prior to starting this exercise. I wasn't sure if this was a good idea to attempt them but now that I'm done, they honestly don't feel much worse then they did before I started.

    I was physically and mentally beat down going into round 3. Brutal.

    HSPU: 6,4,4,2 (Done on 6" parallettes, crown to floor, strict)

    Woke up at 6am to do this, but felt like I had been hit by a train, poor sleep lately. Felt a lot better by the end of day, so went for it.
    PU done strict, hands still recovering from rip last time, a little surprised at how low these numbers were. After first round of GHDs only managed 15s, felt like my abdominal lining was going to explode..still feeling it from day 12.

  62. Feeling pretty flat half way through these longer conditioning sessions. Have reached for a nibble of CHO mid workout a few times lately.. I pick up really quickly once i do eat/ drink something.. I have 2/3 my block prescription in CHO during the day with a x3-5 fat depending on how i feel.. This has been working for me with energy levels, performance, body comp and recovery until this bonking feeling i've been getting. I use the pwo guidelines of 8-12%. I could be leaner now however..

    My thoughts are that i have come from an endurance sporting background and generally go pretty solid on 15-20+ amrap metcons as i find them very similar to some triathlons i used to do. (That's my groove if you remember back to Jame's discussion on 'greasing the groove') So these stop start strength wods hit me hard.. I'm responding very well to them due to having my sleep/nutrition/focus on track. I'm just curious if James or anyone has some opinions so i can tweak and play with a few things on a nutrition front..

    I eyeball paleo/zone with a little less CHO and more fat. i occasionally have a short black coffee pre wod and use a clean whey with cacao powder with berries or sweet potato pwo.

    Thoughts?
