Something I’ve always lived life by: Do it for those who can’t and would give anything to be able to. When you think you can’t do one more do it anyway for me.
During the time when I'm usually pushing myself to the limit in a way I never thought possible I'll instead be going under to fix my ruptured right achilles. Its not the money to fix it, the inconvenience of getting around now with crutches or a roll about or even feeling completely useless as my wife now has to do it all for our business and getting our kids off to school that upsets me. Its the fact that I've come so far to now start all over again. So enjoy your lungs burning, your muscles cramping and your mind telling you you can't do another rep. Because what I would give to be there yelling "get one more!"

Sorry to hear your set back E., use it as motivation to rip it up when you get back. Stay strong, brother!
Wow. What a humbling WOD this morning and I was ready to tear it up. Ran into a buzzsaw. I was tempted not to post today, but here's the damage.
deads: 10
muscleups: 2
Doubleunders: 104
Total: 116
Hell of a beginning for my birthday.
Ended up not doing the double yesterday but will likely do a double today. My university gym doesnt have the ceiling height for muscle ups (on rings or bar) or double unders, which is a major crossfit crime. The gym I usually hit in town doesn't either but I can at least run outside to hit the DU's though I am currently still just learning the DU so I expect my performance to be more of a "learn how the hell to do this" WoD rather than a "kill myself with intensity" WoD.
This morning I did:
10-8-6-4-2(per arm): DB-CJ@30kg/Burpee's (12:30)
then
(restx3min/BB-CJ@70kgx5)x3
then rest,
Kip-PUx30 unbroken
Felt totally 100% unmotivated, as this gym is the anti-crossfit. Very dissatisfied with my time. Will report back with scores for the Rx'd WoD later.
If I post a few snatch and OHS videos could I get some coaching feedback? I really need help on these lifts. Thanks!
Keep it kosher ya'll, Noah
15+10+202=227
muscle ups were strict
disappointed with the double under performance, felt like i had nothin left in the tank
Michael McCabe, u in Ontario man? Just wondering, I was in the same Challenge @ Moss Park Armoury, in your pic... cheers!
1. AMRAP Deadlift - 17
2. AMRAP Muscle-Up - 14
*3. AMRAP Double Unders in 1:58 - 122
* - Rope broke at 1:58
28 + 13 + 302 = 343
One extra each fo you, Jesse. Your recovery starts today.
MU's were very difficult; coordination was a problem. Last 102 DU's unbroken.
Again, email me if you'd like a pair of BL compatible handles.
How do you scale the load for the deads? I could maybe dead 300 one time, maybe might be a stretch, I could dead 300 at one time! What type of rep count am I looking to hit in 1 minute 15 secs?
Help
Hey, anonymous (ha). I am in the same boat. I might be able to get 315 1X. I plan on looking at some of the other dawgs scores for DL...maybe trying to figure an approximate % of 1RM 315 is for them and apply that for me. Before checking, I am guessing maybe 70% of my 1RM? I am very open to input too though.
Anonymous/Joel - If it helps, my 1RM PR is 460#, and I got 17 @ 315# this morning. I thought that was a decent score until I saw Chris Dunkin's post! Now, I am re-thinking if 17 is an alright score. Will see as more guys post!

315 wasn't as heavy as I thought it was going to be so I was happy with that. Probably could have gotten a few more reps if I pushed hard but I was hoping for 15.
Muscle ups were to full lock out and extension each time.
Felt it too much in the shoulders for the double unders.

I posted something like this yesterday but i did not get a reply:
i wanted to know what the idea behind this big dawg programming is and for what typ of athletes it is (both compared to the main site WOD). i always liked to do some extra strength work either gymnastics or weightlifting but due to bad programming i always ended up doing main site only - which was fine. i am now injured and thinking to jump in or doing the thing g. everett recommended in one PM issue about scaling. basicly one of the core lifts each day and then scale the main site WOD accordingly to the prilepin chart. the big dawg programming (strength part) seems to be more varied but i do not understand the usage of assistance lifts like db external rotations.
thanks!
A. 18 (wanted to beat Flemming)-Serious bouncing of weight but the boss said it was okay.
B. 5?!?!? I haven't been this frustrated during a WOD in forever. I'm thinking the deads crushed my grip and kipping abilities because I missed about 6-7 reps. They felt easy in warm-up.
C. 225 - I was smoked by this. 3 days in a row started to show at this point.

How embarrassing is that big fat zero for muscle ups. Crap! I'm posting it to shame myself into getting a damn muscle up. Really need to get cracking on these.
Did 150 sec of pullups/ring dips during the period in which those should have been done. 36 pullups. 26 ring dips.
DL-20
MU-7
DU-228

Chris that is a a freaking sick score, way to kill it!
Question would it be better to sub jumping muscle ups or elastic assist or some other version for them than the traditional pullup dip combo. I would like to get better at the actual movement but not sure what will get me closer to being able to just do the damn things!!!
worked on the MUs before hand.
subbed 3 pull ups and 3 push-ups for muscles up in WOD (ended up being 7 rounds).
DL- 20
MU- n/a
DU- 230
Oy! Terrible performance today. Second WoD of the day
A) 8
B) not enough ceiling height so I subbed kipping pullups and dips
Kip:Dip=20/30 I'll say LCD/3=6
C) I still don't really have the DU down yet but made some major progress. My rope needs to be shortened a bit more. New PR for consecutive DU reps (11). Total=43
Score=8+6+43=57... very sad =(
I also should have scaled the DL weight, it was way too much for me. My form was frightening.
Lisa, maybe set the rings really low and do the MU's strict with a little push from your toes. There's a video of Tucker in Ireland showing those Irish people how to do that exact thing on the CF Journal.
Thanks Jefff!
I still have a few hours before I'll be able to hit this. Looks like 225 would be just over what you did...% wise of course. Leaning towards doing more like 250#'s AMRAP even though it is a higher % (about 80%)...just because coach rx'd 315 and I don't want to scale down more than I should.
Thanks again...
A: 17 @ 205 just because it was easier to set up with the plates i have
B: 9!! did these from sitting in a light elastic band. They were really hard but i think this will help me tons with the motion or rolling through the rings and getting out of that super deep dip position. I think i will video tape it and get opinions as to whether this will help my progression.

Thanks as always for your advice Geoff and yes i will have to take another "plane" trip up there for some snatch help and i have some product to pick up as well.

battery died before DU's. DU's are going backwards for some reason. Gonna need to use them in warm-up more often.

I got 315 x 10 unbroken with deads which i was really happy with, considering my 1RM is 385
Muscleups felt good
DU didnt feel good, i was winded and my shoulders were on fire.

A. Banged out 10 in the first 15 seconds and then ran into a little bit of a wall. Should have possibly started out a little slower; maybe sets of 5.
B. Wasn't kipping, couldn't get the timing down. When I tried to kip up, I wound up with my legs out in front of me and screwed up my rhythm.
C. DUs felt decent for not having done any in over a month. This is the first time I have done sustained DUs since hurting my knee and it held up really well. I started to gas heavily at the end.
PWO: 40gP (MRM shake), 10gC (mashed sweet potato w/ cinnamon)
60 min later: chicken, orange, man nuts

DL tapped into a place I haven't been in while. Felt like those guys at the games in the DL ladder.
M/U #'s were dissappionting. Haven't done them in while. practice, practice, practice.
D/U felt good. Big Burning in the arms!
just to let you know opt i haven't stopped your program. i am visiting my family in nc for a few weeks. and the closest cf gm is 45 minutes away. and the "fitness" center here i cannot do all the things you set up. but i am doing what a can. and just filling in a lot of other things i can do. be back in jan!!
i wish i could qualify for your training certs. but, my fastest mile was 8: 20 something. gotta work on that...
Did yesterday's workout this morning and PR'ed my PC by 10kg. Can't explain it...it just seemed light today.
PC: 105kg (failed at 107kg)
BP: 95kg (failed at 97kg)
Ratio = 1.1
Today's WOD:
DLs: 16
MUs: 12
DUs: 248
TOTAL = 276
Tried not to bounce the DLs and by the end my lower back was on fire. Missed 2 MUs due to kipping failure. Managed the first 105 DUs without a break but as fatigue set in the sets got shorter.
All in all a pretty great day.
PS. inspiring article! Huge congrats to Adam!
Alright, ups and downs today but under the circumstances I'll take it.
Done at globo with very fat crappy cheese grater bars. 315 felt VERY HEAVY and reminded me of my 1RM (385)
DL: 7
MU: Not done, no place to hang rings, and minor shoulder injury.
DU: 170 *4 minutes Forgot the number of secs, so did 4 mins.
A note on the DU's, I hit a PR of consecutive at 71. Very pleased with this, however it gassed me and I'm thinking I should have been more strategic and done less off the bat and planned mini rest breaks.

Noah,
How tall is the ceiling in your gym at the school? Unless you are a giant (Like over 7') in a 8' Room you will be able to do double unders.
I can offer you some advice, take it if you like.
1. Shorten the rope really, really short. If you think it is short enough, shorten it more. (knots in the rope work perfect)You want to have the rope clear your head by only about 2" at the apex of the turn.
2. Do not jump so high (If the ceiling is such a height that you are concerned about this you will learn very fast how high to jump, you should only leave the ground by a max 1", We give the rope more room than it deserves)
3. Use the limited space as a reason to improve not limit your ability to do DU's. If you can do them in a very small room (height and area) you will get really good really fast. Just be patient, and relax.....Forcing it will not improve it!
Just my take in doing DU's in stairwells and cramped hotel gyms all over North America.
Rob
Rob,
Great advice on the short rope. Today I was 'stuck' using a very short rope as it was all that was available. At first I was pissed off, but then i proceeded to PR on my consecutive DU's.
Moral of the story. Shorter rope = Good!

It looks like I am still not getting my hamstrings under tension on the first pull. However it seems like they load up on the following reps once the bar is moving. I would appreciate any help or comments.
Muscle ups were a mess, I honestly don't know what happened. I guess it's time to add them back into the warm up. My goat list is getting pretty damn long.

Scotty H, where you at bro? I made your spaghetti squash with the Thai 'peanut' sauce tonight (a family fav) and man, that never gets old. Everyone needs to try that.
I also enjoyed half of one of these, a great brewery based in Toronto. http://www.millstreetbrewery.com/#/ourbeers/bottled-beer/tankhouse/

If you guys love squash try grating a butternut squash into a hash. Fry it up with coconut oil, garlic, chili flakes, pepper & a tiny bit of salt. Serve it with eggs, some green veggies plus some salsa and you've got one wicked meal. You can also make squash cakes out of them, just mix them together with the eggs and pour little pancakes! mmmmmm

Doubles with nylon rope. After last doubles wod I'm going to try using a new rope each time. This one moved way slower than my buddy lee. Sympathy to the crossfit Winnipeg athletes who use those all the time :)
great hockey game tonight too. However I'm losing some extension in my wrist after an old ugly dude slashed me TWICE and high sticked me. Coach, I'm working real hard to laugh and do some relaxation breathing tonight :)

Deadlift: 27 (wanted 29 to beat Dunkin.)
Muscleups: 17
Doubleunders: 185
Shoulders were so smoked. These felt so hard today.
