Hey Guys and Gals,
New to OPT over the last 2 weeks, been posting every now and then.. But have to get on the wagon and start posting everyday.. I am always one day behind because I am doing CrossFit Endurance along with this programming to prepare myself for my ultrathon season coming up..

I was stumbling with the wall balls big time, my hands were frozen. I couldn't breath outside today, very cold. Not to happy with my performance today, had trouble focusing
A: 93 reps
B: 20:03 (1.16 power ratio)
Not too happy w/ either of these, lacking mental intensity
Supposed to be my rest day today, but in mass we have a big storm coming thats going to drop about 12-16 inches of snow tomm... I was feeling the few wod's from yesterday in my quads front hang squat cleans... left quad def tender, but did not want to take 2 days of rest... Still in the mindset of an endurance athlete after 2 years of functional training...

cardio was not an issue on row, my arms and hams were useless. Transition from box jumps to WB was very hard for me and burpees were a disaster.
-bow hunting hard the next two days and season is over....
Andrew Romeo,
The other day you said your hoping there won't be HSPU or DU's at the sectionals. Don't be stupid buddy, you got just around 90 days before your sectional. I hope your doing DU's every day in your warm-ups and do some HSPU post-wod or through them into your warm-up as well. Just don't make a workout out of it.

At the hall so had to make the following mods: 20" bench, 25lb DB thrusters (paused at top like a wall ball), and kipping K2E (7' pull-up bar so even those are hard to do without hitting the floor).
Waited 10 minutes and did a 15 minute run. Pace wasn't to quick but I figured I'd do something as I won't be able to do the 5K row today. Looking forward to seeing some scores there as I've not done that distance in ages.

Part 2 - 19:04.7 233 average watt done 45 mins. after part 1. MENTAL TEST, I have 18:45 in me.
part 1:
At the parents for the holidays, had to make due with what I had.
For reps:
1 min AMRAP Jumping Switch Lunges
1 min AMRAP db thrusters - 12#/hand
1 min AMRAP Knees to Elbows
1 min AMRAP Ring Dips
1 min AMRAP Burpees
-----------------------
41+27+33+17+14 = 132
Legs were fried after the switch lunges, but kept moving on the thrusters. Weird set up in the basement, T2B not really possible. Found a good tempo on the K2Es. Had nothing on the Ring dips, hard to get going. Could hardly do a push up after the ring dips, burpees were just slow. Good workout.
No rower here, so think I am just going to go for a max effort 20 min run around the icy streets of Cochrane.
Adam,
Thanks for the imput. My Tri levels used to be really high. So I am really happy with the new numbers. I haven't had those other tests done. I think I'll try to get better fish oil and try to stay with leaner meats.

Crap workout today. Lacked intensity for the first part, Should have gotten a lot more reps.
First time rowing over 2000 meters. Did not know how to pace or what I should shoot for. Last 1000 meters was hard and fast, should have got after it early on instead of trying to feel for a pace.

30 minute rest between wods
Toes to bar the big weak spot on part 1. Probably only scored about 10 there.
Lisa, I believe it should be a continuous clock.
Dawgs, read the prescription. There is no rest indicated, therefore no rest. Each exercise is AMRAP for 1 min. It is the same as Fight Gone Bad.
Wes,
Thanks for the advice man, I appreciate it. I've been working on DU's for a while now and have come a long way, still have a long way to go. As for HSPU I will most definitely start practicing these more, I was for a while but have dropped the ball on that lately. Thanks again man.
2 hours between part 1&2 because of the need for christmas shopping.
5km row: 19:11 (power ratio 1.36)
Kept ave watts pretty consistent (highest for 500m was 230, lowest was 228).
Thanks Rob that is what i thought. i just have a long distance between stations so would end up wasting probably 10-15 or more seconds getting to next spot. I ended up stopping clock as I ran to next station so here are my scores with my run between:
43/23/20/26/16 total = 128 arms were toast on the pp so burpees sucked!!
row 21:47 power ratio 1.26 never done a 5K before so i think i could have paced better. Not sure what a good strategy is for this but i can say it was damn hard.

Wes, I'm taking your advice on practicing the HSPU's in warm-up. It's been a weakness of mine every since I started xfit and I need to address it starting today. Started with 15 in the warm-up today.
Nice work by everyone today.

Felt real good today.
Box jumps were full extension at top with only half of foot on top of box.
If anyone has a video of kipping toes to bar will you please post a link. I can't seem to figure it out on my own. It is really slowing my shit down.
Ok clearly I dont know how to do toes to bar. I am going to start putting these in my warmup. Kip=double the amount.

I was a little rough on the right thigh yesterday on the hang cleans. Can't apply pressure to it or do back extensions today. Hope it is a quick heal. Had an interval timer strapped to my side and had to look down during the box jumps. They were going so well I thought I set the wrong time. Push press needs work in the speed department. Nearly took off my nose today. Taking a 30 minute rest and then see how the row feels.
Paul: I could have straighter legs, but you can kip doing like this: http://vimeo.com/7707896
i am with paul klein and justin flynn... no clue how to string together those t2b in some efficient, controlled kip. would love a video of it.

Old PR on 5k row was last time I attempted in Feb 2008. It was 18:55. I think I could have maybe got that today if I had dug in for the kick 1 min earlier. At least would have liked to try and last and given myself that shot. Keep in mind for next time as i know I am more fit now than when that pr was set.

All box jumps must have full hip\leg extension, whether they are metcon style or jump up step down.
1.5 hour rest
No rower so did 5k run: 24:47 (pr)
which is not bad for running in the snow.
I'm with PTS, I got 43 reps on a 20" box and I only stopped when I stumbled. Over 40 reps for a 24" box with good form might not actually possible...
Nice work on the kipping T2B video, we needed that!
If I remember correctly, the T2Bs in the last year's Games Final WOD required both feet to return behind the body at the bottom of the movement, breaking the vertical line beneath the bar. Hope that makes sense. Definitely makes it a little harder...

-Wall Balls were rough on the knee at first, but then it kind of just went away. Was gassed during these though.
-Toes to bar felt good...should have pushed harder and got more.
-Push Press felt decent; found myself getting off balance and needing to slow down.
-Burpees were painful at the end of this.
-Row: had the damper at 4 and feet at 4. This hurt, but was first time I've done it. I think I can possibly maintain 230 watts with my strokes at about 26-27/min. Quads were starting to sing at the end.

To add to the BJ debate;
not to say every rep of mine was perfect form (they seldom are), but I did stop with about 10 sec left on the BJ. Someone with good springs (Joey, Garry, OPT, AFT) would easily do 40+ BJ...guaranteed!
Now, if you jump like a giraffe (not mentioning any names), suffice it to say that 40 reps would be a stretch. (pardon the choice of words)
Hey,
Vistited CrossFit Whistler yesterday; Grace 3:58
Kind of surprised with this as I PBd in Nov. with 3:47. Nutrition has been a little off while travelling and to have only slowed down 10 seconds I def. think that I can do better that 3:47.
CrossFit Squamish today; Bench 5,5,5 worked up to 125# and Deadlift 1RM worked up to 255 but packed it in early as I was feeling a little tired.
Good times at both places!!!!
I'm hoping to get back to CF WHistler one more time before we leave.

0-2500m felt really hard. 2500-5000 I really started to get into a groove. Last time I did this in 17:59 about a year ago. But I felt much better this time stamina wise. Was holding a 1:48-1:52 split the whole time. Next time I drop the hammer at 350m and go balls out.
Hey,any of the other big guys doing these wods feel like they get screwed by this bodyweight conversion thing? When I get my ass handed to me on Handstand push ups I would like to see a bw conversion factor to take into account my 210# frame. Seems like a double standard. Just my 2cents.

Went into the row not having a clue what my last PR and breaking 19 minutes sounded great. So I checked and I broke my last PR by 3 seconds. Not sure how much that would have changed the game much. I was not looking forward to the row. My box jumps today were flawless compared to my past performances. Up/Down/Up! Sweet!
Damnit, my screenshot of the rower is not showing wattage. Sorry coach!

could have gone a bit harder on the row, but hit my target on this one, and it was a pr. 15min rest between wods. I'll have to film the next box jumps and review the rom. mental lapse on the t2b and dropped off the bar after 11.

Hey Justin,
Sometimes it works out for you:
http://optimumperformancetraining.blogspot.com/2009/04/are-we-human-or-are-we-gymnasts.html
Arrived in Edmonton at 1:30am last night after almost 16 hours travel from Denmark. What's the best way to overcome jet lag and lack of sleep?? The gym of course!!
Didn't have access to a decent box or med ball today so decided to do yesterday's WOD and then cap it off with today's 5k row.
7 rounds of HSC and HSPU:
20:59 all rounds unbroken (kipping HSPU)
5k row:
19:35 (216 avg watt/180lbs = 1.2 power ratio)
Definitely helped overcome some of the afternoon jet lag.
Regarding the box jump conversation. I got 45 reps with about 5 seconds left to spare. I reached full hip extension every single time. However, I did so in the air. So when I was on the box I had bent knees/hips and as I took off and before I hit the ground I extended completely. I was lead to believe this is acceptable. Is this true?
Sprained ankle...Had to sub today.
My wife thinks I'm crazy working out...I told her this is how I rehab!
WOD 1:
3 rounds:
1 min AMRAP wall balls (30,28,25)
1 min T2B's (20,15,15)
no rest
WOD 2:

Never rowed more than a 2K and this was about as uncomfortable as it gets for me. Big mental push to get it done and keep a 1:55 pace throughout. Pretty happy considering I'm not a very strong rower. I think I definitely have a big PR in store for my next 2K
lol... nice Joey!... I stumbled on the bj's midway through and took a few secs 2 recover... wish that didn't happen!... nice job on the row!... beastly!...
~gm2
and by bj's I mean box jumps... 8^/
I did some more box jumps this morning. 60 AMRAP to a 24" box. Here is the video.
Would you guys count these or is this considered improper ROM?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLU3eL9Fq5E
I only touch my toes to the edge of the box and I get to full extension on bounce off the box.
Can someone post a video or a link of kipping hspus. I think I need to figure out how to do them.
I actually managed 6 rounds unbroken to an abmat for that wod which was pretty awesome for me. But maybe with kipping I could get to full depth

first time doing 5km row
Paul, I wouldn't count most of those reps because your heels were much lower than your toes. If you got more of your foot on the box so the soles of your feet were parallel to the floor the reps would count but there's just not enough contact with the box. One could argue that you wouldn't even need a box to perform that movement, just the edge of something to tap and push off from.
The standards for the Western Qualifiers 'Every Rep Counts' were full foot on box, which is much more strict than needed, so I'd split the difference between your box jump and that one.
Just so happened that the "rest as needed" was about 16 hours. Not sure if that's what coach has in mind.
HUGE PR for me this morning though, so regardless of what the RX was, I am friggin' stoked!!!!!!
19:59 (sub 20:00 row is an all-time goal for me!!!!! One heck of a Christmas gift to myself)
Power ratio: 203/155 = 1.31.
Paul,
Great effort on the box jumps.
Based on the way I have been coached (at OPT), I would guess that many of your reps would not count as full ROM. The full extension of your hips does not occur until you are on your way back to the floor from the box. Also, I think you should concentrate on putting more of your foot on the box and subsequently be perpendicular to the ground at the top of your rep.
Some of the best BJ's I've seen was Joey Warren's FGB video.
Gutsy performance to throw it down on video!!! We need more of that.
Geez, they're sure having it out.......

That article looks like it has some salient points. If you want to see "having it out" take a look at Robb's blog entries. Specifically for today.
Part 1: 110
Box Jumps were good but my legs were toast from yesterday and I struggled in the wall balls and Burpees killed me! Pretty disappointed in those and my T2B need work.
rest 2mins
Part 2: 20:48
Power Ratio of 1.12
Dogged it on my first 1k nearly killed myself the last 4k trying to make up for it.. Still Pr'd by 24 seconds.. Goal is still sub 20 so getting closer..
Im still amazed with OPT's 15 min 5k while he was here during his vacation..inspiring to say the least!
Part 1: 101
at 0700 this morning with no breakfast. PWO Fuel: 40g protein & 18 g Waxy maize starch.
8 hours rest
Part 2: 20:19 1.10 Ratio
193 avg. watts / 175#s
AMRAP: 115 reps.
Rested 30 minutes
5K row: 21:28. PR I think. Wanted sub 20 minutes.
Traveling, wedding last night and poor sleep. Excuses, excuses.
Steve,
Heather and Jesse's box in Squamish was pretty sweet. Great location that's for sure. Would love to go there in the summer when they can open up the big door. Nothing better than a workout mixed with sunshine.
I'll make sure that I give Jordan a hard time about sectionals if I see him again :o)
Nice work Sweeney!!
Total on part one of the w.o.d. was 105. Box jumps and wall balls were pretty solid. The pp and burpes almosr ruined me. Rest for about 30 minutes then tackled the row. Was trying to beat my pr on my last 5k row wich was 20:12 but ended up getting 20:39. Dont know what went wrong. I took it at a moderate pace for the first 2k then tried to blast the last 3. Like Nick said OPT,s time of 15:00 when he came to vist is something to reach for.
15:00?! for a 5k? That would be the top time in the world for 2009, at least of ones submitted to C2...or 2nd maybe? Am I reading this right?
Yea you're reading it right if I read the dry board that day!!!
Male/29YO/190/70"
Drove to the beach to work with some guys on olympic lifts.
Snatch Work for about 1 Hr. Set new PR at 209lbs (95 kilos).
Then:
Part 1:
BJ - 33
WB - 30
T2B - 25
PP - 33
Burpees - 26
Total: 147
Notes - Did not push NEARLY hard enough on this. Could add 30 to total I belive. I have a mental wall that I need to break through currently. Additionally, took me about 10 seconds to move from one station to the next (big, unfamiliar gym).
Part 2:
Time - 18:40
AVG Watt - 248
Weight - about 190
Ratio - 1.3
Notes: This was the first time I've ever rowed over 500 meters. Strong enough to knock off 10 seconds. Again, mental wall needing some busting through.
112 total, had to go on my own so I don have the exact breakdown.
19:17, nice pr power ratio 1.34.
Wow...that is pretty stellar...10X1:30/500m. I don't even know if I can do 1 500m at that pace! haha...amazing.
28/M/78kg/178cm
part 1. 120
strict t2b, no room for kipping
pwo refuel: bounce ball, water
rest 90min
part 2. Time: 19:05 Power ratio: 1.36

thanks for providing me a way to find out how I compare to other women. I checked out the c2 ranking site it was awesome. There are so few women on this blog that it is hard to determine how we girls are doing. u guys just have to look at unit or rorys times as we all know they are truly beasts.
I found it very interesting that in most distances my PRs are all in the 90th percentile in the lightweight category. These are world rankings with women that more than likely row all the time. Just goes to show the amazing power of James programming and crossfit in general
1. 137
2. time = 19:36.1. Power = 215.1/218lbs = 0.986
39 BJ
19 WB
14 TtoB
30 PP
15 Burp
15 min Rest
24:19 5K run
Need to get my gear situation squared away, so it stops detracting from training. Everything but burpees felt strong. I was smoked by burpee time.
5K was really slow. Haven't been running enough.
Justin,(if you are still reading) I'm 6'4" and 215, have leverage and BW working against me. Agree HSPU are the devil, but when BJ/row/300LB DL come around, I think the field is tilted in our favor.
I just suck it up and address HSPU etc. as weaknesses. Hope this helps.
Total: 119 reps
Need to work on boxjumps and kipping TTB
5k: 19:27 min
Really sore after 2 k. Was hoping for sub 19, maybe next time.
Oh yeah, forgot to check watts but I weigh 170 lbs and had the damper set for 6.
Dr. Cordain's response:
This is an interesting paper ( Mercader J. Mozambican grass
seed consumption during the middle stone age. Science
2009;326:1680-83) as it may push probable (but clearly not
definite) cereal grain consumption by hominins back to at least
105,000 years ago. Prior to this evidence, the earliest
exploitation of wild cereal grains was reported by Piperno
and colleagues at Ohalo II in Israel and dating to ~23,500
years ago (Nature 2004;430:670-73). As opposed to the Ohalo
II data in which a large saddle stone was discovered with
obvious repetitive grinding marks and embedded starch granules
attributed to a variety of grains and seeds that were
concurrently present with the artifact , the data from
Ngalue is less convincing for the use of cereal grains
as seasonal food. No associated intact grass seeds have been
discovered in the cave at Ngalue, nor were anvil stones
with repetitive grinding marks found. Hence, at best,
the data suggests sporadic use (and not necessarily
consumption) of grains at this early date. Clearly, large
scale processing of sorghum for consumption for extended
periods seems unlikely.
Further, It should be pointed out that consumption of wild
grass seeds of any kind requires extensive technology and
processing to yield a digestible and edible food that likely
did not exist 105,000 years ago. Harvesting of wild
grass seeds without some kind of technology (e.g.
sickles and scythes [not present at this time]) is
tedious and difficult at best. Additionally, containers
of some sort (baskets [not present at this time], pottery
[not present] or animal skin containers are needed to
collect the tiny grains. Many grain species require
flailing to separate the seed from the chaff and then
further winnowing ([baskets not present]), or animal
skins] to separate the seeds from the chaff. Intact
grains are not digestible by humans unless they are
first ground into a flour (which breaks down the cell
walls), and then cooked (typically in water – e.g.
boiling [technology not present]) or parched in a
fire which gelatinizes the starch granules, and thereby
makes them available for digestion and absorption. Because
each and every one of these processing steps requires
additional energy on the part of the gatherer, most
contemporary hunter gatherers did not exploit grains
except as starvation foods because they yielded such
little energy relative to the energy obtained (optimal
foraging theory).
If indeed the grinder/core axes with telltale starch
granules were used to make flour from sorghum seeds,
then the flour still had to be cooked to gelatinize the
starch granules to make it digestible. In Neolithic
peoples, grass seed flour most typically is mixed with
water to make a paste (dough) that is then cooked into flat
breads. It is highly unlikely that the technology or the
behavioral sophistication existed 105,000 years ago to
make flat breads. Whole grains can be parched intact
in fires, but this process is less effective than making
flour into a paste and cooking it to gelatinize the starch
granules. Hence, it is difficult to reconcile the chain of
events proposed by the authors (appearance of sorghum starch
granules on cobbles or grinders = pounding or grinding of
sorghum grains = consumption of sorghum). I wouldn’t hang
my hat on this evidence indicating grains were necessarily
consumed by hominins at this early date. To my mind, the
Ohalo II data still represents the best earliest evidence
for grain consumption by hominins.
