nice work Mike, nicer shirt
Thanks coach. I'll have a big dawg shirt prior to sectionals.... providing my shoulder continues to improve. That was the first Snatch Ive done since dislocating it.
Thanks for everything.
Mike
I have a question for OPT.
I was very tight on time today and had to pick between the wall ball/du wod and the snatch wod, and went with the latter. How important/necessary might it be to make up the other workout? I am competing in the New England sectionals in March, and wall balls and double unders are two of my weaknesses.
Thank you
Hey John, I think you know the answer to that question bud... See you at gym tommorrow...
Sore from yesterday, and numbers not too good today.
Part 1: Bench press 90kg, chinup 45kg@75kg BWT
46/184
Bench 265
Weighted Pullup 109
getting use to the tempo px wanted to confirm that on todays chins the tempo is fast pull from hanging position too 2 sec pause at top is this correct?
Zaylis - nope it is fast pull no pause at top and two second eccentric (down)
250#, 75# at 217# BWT, 28:20 with 70# KB and 30" box and subbed anchored swiss ball sit ups due to no GHD
Felt crappy yesterday and took an extra zero day in addition to breaking paleo on cheese and dried fruit.
I didn't feel safe doing high weight bench press singles without a spotter so I subbed in squat clean and jerk instead.
P1.
A1. SqCl+J = 80kg
A2. Supinated Chin Up = 40kg
P2.
27:56
Felt terrible on this. Didn't even do it rx'd. The box jump was a bit lower than 24" and I used a 1.5 pood DB.
One day at a time.
John T,
I hope you weren't tight on time because you went out drinking the previous night. Listen to Kevin, I think he may know what he's talking about.
john t, if tight for time....2 things, if you're competing, you find time, and if you're weak at something, prioritize it...hope that helps.
fantastic video mike!... and I'd have agree with coach, nice shirt!...

BW= 120lbs
Bench press:
120lbs,120,115,110,110,110,110,110,
110,110. I was so happy to finally bench my body weight with correct tempo.
Chin ups:
35lbs for all of them, correct tempo, last one was hard and I made a pretty funny face while doing it :)
Resting for 2hrs
(260, 92.5#@ 183# bwt, 26:41)
8 HRS BTW Isabell and Part 1. 10 mins rest then part 2.
I dropped dairy from the diet about a month ago and have dropped a few lbs. Haven't really noticed a difference in strength, but have felt like I don't straight up gas in metcons. It could just be mental though.
I almost forgot! Today marks my one year following OPT programming. The first WOD I did was a snatch balance WOD at 105lbs and I scaled it to 85lbs b/c I couldn't manage 105. Yesterday I did Isabell in 3:57. So there has been quite an improvement.
Thanks to OPT and all the old school Big Dawgs for welcoming me in.
Part 2: 36:11
Box jumps are tough for me, especially high ones. Need to work on those as well as DU.
Part 1
Adam - 240lbs, 110lbs at 186 BW
John - 245lbs, 85lbs at 180 BW
Part 2 this afternoon
Part 1
195 lbs, 95 lbs at 165 lbs bw
20 min rest---only way could be done
Did female weight and box height and cut reps in half for all. Did not time, but went hard. Big week this week and I will not be able to taper so I decided to scale the metcon. It was still pretty hard!

Bench - 205#

Bench press really tough with the 3 sec. negative...eliminates the bounce.
failed at 100lb on chin up. About an inch short...just couldn't get chin over bar.
Part 2
as Rx`d 24kg Kb and 24inch box:
31min 46 sec
95% of KB swings were directly overhead games 09 style:)

subbed 1.5pd instead of 2pd. used 24" box - gym didn't have a 30" box. ...still working up to 2pd weight. but in hindsight, i should have just done it.
not sure if i'd be able to get both wods in today, so chose part 2 over 1. if time allows, will do part 1 later.
Part 1: 277, 132# @ 185
Haven't benched in a long time -- was nice to do it again. Makes me want to bench more often :). I have a weird thing in my left elbow that clicks on the descent from the pressure. I've had it for a long time. Sometimes it does it on presses and handstand pushups too. I hate it! It only does it once in awhile though. Anyone have anything similar?

KB swings scared me before the workout but finally they were ok, almost every reps were done properly with KB directly overhead.
Special thanks to Lulu for your help and your support!
Thanks Kevin, Wes, and coach for the advice, that helps. By the way Wes yes it is because I went out drinking on friday, and I have been paying for it all weekend! I know I know time to cut the crap and get focused

235 , 90 (sup chin up) @ 168 BWT.
was able to get 80 with chin up (palms away), but felt some pulling along the top left of the cervical spine so I dropped the weight. decided to do sup. chin ups ( palms facing) to alleviate any more problems. Got up to 90, failed on 100.

Part 2: 29:18 as RX'd
Notes: Had to do these back to back today, unfortunately. Took it easy on part 1, feeling pretty broken down. Played with different grips and widths during my sets. Part 2, now let me tell you. 30" box jumps, 2PD, and GHD SU's don't play well together. What do they all have in common? You've got to commit to every rep. I would have liked to break 25 minutes but it wasn't going to happen today.
It's nice that we're stepping some of these workouts up a notch as the main site appears to be doing the same. OPT is all about staying one giant leap ahead of the competition at all times. I feel we're doing it with workouts like this.
Great cycle dawgs!
Part 2:
Didn't have a box at home, my lower back hurt and hands are torn... Was gonna sit out part 2, but somehow I managed to measure a table out in the neighborhood. It was EXACTLY 76cm (30inches). Too much of coincidence not to take advantage don't you think?
KTEs instead of GHD-SU otherwise as RX'd: 32:20
A little slippery because of snow everywhere, that made pace slower. Had to me careful, esp when going down. A bit cold, but OPT hoodie kept me warm!

N.H. if it happens on the decent i'd say it could be the long head of the triceps rolling over a portion of the elbow joint as it lengthens...there is a lot of stuff that runs through there...straighten your arm, put your opp thumb deep into where the tendon leads into the point i described above...and as you slowly bend your elbow, run the thumb deep upwards along the long triceps on the inside of your upper arm...do it for about 5-7 sec per swipe 3 x, then try bench again and see if it helps, report back...
everyone asking questions, if you prioritize "outings" over sleep and training and then search for answers based on performance and strategies for training, they will not be answered..
logo and design for comp shirts are done, pics to come
Rainer, watched your snatch video, keep your torso angle the same until the bar comes up past your knees...your were raising your butt first, then pulling bar in after knees...if this happens with 40kg after a few reps it might happen as you get heaiver...so practice with a lighter load than 40kg, then for doubles with a higher load, video it and ensure your keep your ass down

Good with tempo on the bench with no bounce off the chest. Last set was 15 lbs. under my PR from a month ago. Pull-ups were strict with foot in a kettlebell. Mixed up my grip throughout. Had to adjust the triplet to eliminate the jumps - the knee just isn't ready. Played around with a few options before settling on row cals, 1-for-1. Took about the same time and sucked just as much for the lungs and glutes, just not as explosive.

No part II today, i spent 4 hours outside swinging a sledgehammer on a 4 foot steel rod until i found the septic tank then dug 2 feet down to uncover the lid then another 2 feet to uncover the distribution box. I'm shot...good cycle..
maybe they will have a sledgehammer event at the sectionals :)

Totally had to rig a box. Used about 5 45lb plates and a bench. Then I had to weigh it all down. Lol. Ended up being 31" from the ground.
Everything was broken except the first few rounds of GHDs.
The high reps on either end were mentally taxing -- especially the last set of box jumps!
285, 102.5# @ 195 BWT, 41:54
Parts 1 and 2 done back to back.
Tempo felt good for Part 1. Kept it a bit conservative on the bench since I was alone in the gym with no spotter.
Part 2 was modified to a 70 lb DB and a 24" box (tallest my gym has). Wore a 20 lb weight vest for the box jumps to try and make up for the lesser height.
Was very sore from yesterday. Issue was compounded by a severe crisis of motivation brought on by the mere thought of Part 2. Was already in bed staring at my clock, not having worked out, attempting to console myself with a myriad of reasons as to why I SHOULD have missed the workouts for today. Finally got over the hump, dragged my ass out of bed and into the gym, and got after it as best I could. Time for Part 2 was definitely nothing to write home about, but it's done.
Thanks OPT! I'll try that out and let you know how it goes.

*I always struggle with this time domain. Also, I have never done this volume of KBS @ 2pd... Managed the first 50 unbroken and have a feeling that hurt me for the rest of the workout. GHD and BJ were slow and steady for the most part, definitely lost the mental battle on the swings in the latter rounds.

NH, I have a similar issue going on when I bench. It's a sharp pain in the left elbow in the little nook. Best way I can describe it is if you had a hatchet and had your elbow up in front of you. As you try to drop the hatchet, any resistance on the forearm during that movement activates the nasty little pain pain. Odd... I'm going to try OPT's suggestion to see if that helps me as well.
I seem to be able to shut out the pain when it's 321go, but it is more of an annoyance than anything.
Joey, I too feel I need more experience in this 20min area. As broken as I felt today, I feel 3-5 minutes of my time was ill managed by crappy strategy on dealing with the x150 30" box jumps. Inexperience was my nemesis today. I kind of went into a zone going into round 3 where the focus was to keep moving and just finish the workout vs get this shit done as fast as you can.

I trained with my better half "Black Kat" today at my old stomping grounds, the UofL.
We had to do both WODs in one session.
Didn't push it on the Bench, shoulder is feeling good right now.
(225#; 95# @ 181lbs; 25:29)
I had to use a Dumbbell for KBS. I tried swinging the 70lb'er but it kept slipping outof my hands. So I decided to drop to the 52.5lb DB.
Box jumps were my slow point.
Thanks for the workout Black Kat.
PS: you all can ask Katrina how she fell out backwards on her head during GHD's in the WOD :-) DOh!
24yrs/5'2"/107#
Bench Press - 95#... one of my weaknesses. Not exposed to this one as much.
Weighted Chin Up - BWT + 50#
Metcon - 20:05... used a 35# dumbell for the KBS. Can't really go any higher with te dumbells as the grips get too thick to hold onto. And a 25" box. Fell right out of the GHD on the 2nd rep in the first round and landed on my head and fingers. My tiny feet have a difficult time staying in there. Fingers were numb for a while afterwards, but seem to be fine.
Got to work out with Chad Action today :) it was great. He made me push alot harder than I probably would have alone. Thanks!

part 2:
27:50 (not rx'd)...totally blew it. didn't pay close enough attention to the post and did the bjs on a 24" box.
little sluggish today. ate well, slept like shit. lesson learned. more sleep discipline. despite my f$@k-up, chipper was still great.
Brent, mine isn't so much of a pain as it is a weakness. I can feel the pressure building, and building, and building, then 'pop,' and then it feels weak. The worst thing about it is the anticipation! Lol. I'm looking forward to trying out the technique OPT described.
Re the time domain. I feel the same way about it. It's short enough where you COULD go faster, but long enough where you could burn out early if you go too fast. Big mental factor.

Wanted to go heavier on the BP but the only spot I had was my 8 yr old daughter, picked something that wasnt easy but I could manage with the correct tempo. Failed to get my chin over the bar on some of the chin ups but made sure to maintain tempo lowering myself.
Part 2 was very challenging mentally. 30" box jump is very intimidating for me. Hand tore in the second to last round. Looking forward to the rest day tomorrow.

B was definitely a gut check, around the set of 40 KBS my mind shut off and my body just went into autopilot. I never moved very quickly on this I just kept moving the entire time. With the KB swings I would do sets of 15 and 10 and just walk a circle around it and pick it back up, I figured I had to pace myself that KB is basically half my BW.
Nice work out there today ladies:
Welcome Sam by your numbers today you will fit right into this crew. It is great to have more women posting.
Hope you are ok Kat, and nice PR Lauren. Becky you are a beast with the pullups!!
Me:
A1: 135 PR by 10 pounds really helped that my husband spotted me
A2: 30# PR by 13# was so close at 35 just inches from getting chin over bar - woohoo progress!!!!
Happy with upper body progress thanks again OPT for your help with my mental attitude it is really making a difference
My calves finally felt good enough to run on again since my last attempt last tuesday. DUmb mistake now my calves are so damn tight again not sure if WOD 2 will be in the cards - stretch, foam roll, and ball and see how they feel if not will try tomorrow hopefully

Part two was not RX'd
Box jumps were to 28 in box
Dumbells at gym were rubbing my knuckles raw so I did Alternating One Handed KB Snatches at 70 Lbs. No Kettlebells available.
GHD's were done with but on flat bench and feet between safety bars of a squat rack....works pretty well.
Strong Work Wes!
I'm still down in D.C. and went to CF Bethesda today. It was their WoD or nothing today so I did the following:
One rep max Clean:
215#
Chipper:
10 Dead lift at 315#
20 HSPU
30 Burpees
40 unanchored situps
50 Kettle bell swing (1.5)
60 Double Unders
Time: 6:20
Everything was unbroken until the double unders. Used their gym rope and did ok, not as good as I would with my rope but not brutal either. Coach recommended using a variety of ropes and being comfortable so mission accomplished!
I'll be back home and following the blog on Tuesday. Might try to hit the one rep max efforts just to know where I stand.
Forgot to mention....
Due to time restraints, Part 1 was done with only 1 min rest between efforts.
Part 2 began 10 min after part 1.
Part 2:
Max KB here is 1.5 pd so went with that. The 30" box was killer. All GHD's in a 15/5 split.

Great weekend.
While training with Tom Hirtz I was in the company of some great lifters. Among them was Sarah Bertram who placed 16th at the World Championships this past Nov. in the 69kg division with a 89kg snatch and a 107kg clean and jerk. I must admit while sharing the platform with her during the last part of workout she out front squatted me. The intensity they brought to each and every attempt was incredible. Look forward to getting up there more regularly after the competitions coming up.
part 2: 20:26 - Not Rx'd
KBS were actually 75# DBS and they felt great.
Didn't have a GHD machine so swiss ball sit-ups were subbed.
Box Jumps were done to 24" I wish I had read the full 30" bit. Oh well.

Rest 8 hours
Part 2: 36:05
Notes: Got to 105 with a pull up grip and then switched to supinated grip to get 115. I went into part 2 with the mindset of survival, not confidence. I was surprised just to get through all the swings as well as I did. The box jumps were the hardest part though. Anyone that finished sub 30 is crazy.
230,100# @ 170# BWT, 31:18
Felt good today except my lower back got real tight during the kb swings. Overall happy with the effort.

Body weight 170lbs
Part 1:
A: 235# (tied PR for normal bench press i.e. fast down fast up)
B: 115# (used dumbbells, largest in gym)
(BWT = 175#)
Part 2: 26:30 with 20” box (nothing bigger), swings with 70# dumbbell
I want to share my excitement with everyone. I was amazed that I was able to tie my bench PR from the good ole bicep/tricep days. Shoot, all I did back then was bench, bench, arms, bench, and think about doing legs (but hardly ever did).
I have been doing CF for just over 2 years and have only done bench about once every 5-6 weeks (just whenever main site programmed it). When people asked me about CF I always mentioned that I had gotten stronger everywhere except I ASSUMED my bench had decreased because of the lack of focus CF puts on it.
I have never been so happy to be proved wrong!! This sh*t works!!
(Hope that made everyone's day like it did mine.)

This was all mental for me here with this time domain and the heavy swings and high jumps so I was pleased.
VMO started cramping up on the last two rounds and it's happened a couple times recently (run wod a few days ago) any suggestions on helping this...?

Busy day and had to go back to back for wods today. Hate when I can't rx rest, but had to get it in. Used 75#DBS, took a spill on the box jumps when I was gased, shin is spilt up pretty good! Can do way better the 35min.
Did anyone find the KBS got easier, as the box jumps got higher......weird huh!

I was excited to bench (it's a guilty pleasure left over from my powerlifting days). I was pleasently surprised by how well it went despite not ever benching anymore and using the tempo.
2 hours later...
Part II
23:57
If I got to choose the name for this WOD I would call it: "Thou Shalt Never Again Walk Right". By the second to the last round of this, my calves were horribly tight. I expect severe calve pain tomorrow. Thank goodness for the rest day! And thank you OPT for providing more killer workouts.
Part 1.
235 , 90 (sup chin up) @ 168 BWT.
was able to get 80 with chin up (palms away), but felt some pulling along the top left of the cervical spine so I dropped the weight. decided to do sup. chin ups ( palms facing) to alleviate any more problems. Got up to 90, failed on 100.
Part 2.
33:25.
Bravo to the sub 30min's out there. Tough workout, kb's in sets of 10, GHD's unbroken, and box jumps were high.

Part 2:
I hit a wall in round 3. Once I finished that third set of KBS, I thought my lower back was going to explode. The BJs were steady (not that fast though) throughout. KBS just broke me down fast and hard.
PWO: 16gP (Jarrow shake), 3 scoops Refuel.
Some really nice numbers out there today. Congrats to all. I've got a long way to go to catch some of you guys...
325, 85, 235, 3l:12*
*I jumped off the box and landed bad on R ankle on rep 17 of the last round of BJ's. Tried to jump and finish the WOD, but I couldn't get any lift. Finished with air squats.
Will go back and do Part 2 again in the future to have a fully completed time to compare to.

part 1:
BP @ 90 & PU @ 20.8

subbed calories rowing for box jumps

pt 2 - 30:07 as rx'd.
A1. No bench subbed ring dips @ 17.5#
A2. 20#'s
BW 135#
Part 2: 26:25 subbed swiss ball sit-ups for GHD due to lack of equipment & 1pd KB. Tried the 1.5pd during warm up and it was swinging me instead of the other way around and I couldn't get it to vertical so had to scale. All box jumps on a 24"box.
Welcome Sam! I'm new to this programming as well and just started during the most recent cycle and love it as I'm sure you will too.
Part 1
90#, 15# @ 135BWT
First time ever doing 1 rep max BP so can only go up from here!
Part 2

Had to pace the KB swings.. lifting to new level is def a challenge with 24KB!! Box jumps and GHDs felt good.
part 1 bwt 195
bench 285, pull up 110 w dumbell between legs did this after kb cert so didnt have time or energy for second part
holy F'n hell that 1.5pd is heavy!!! so calves felt good enough to hit part 2.
23:39
i have not done a lot of 1.5 pd swings and man were they tough. I only almost dropped it on my head once. used the ghds and box jumps as my "rest time" and just tried to keep them steady not too quick. I am very happy with my time.
Cavino - thanks for the tip!!! ha ha I will get that video for you soon.
HOLY SHIT i just noticed i beat unit by 2 seconds - I am coming for you UNIT!!!! hee hee :)
Marie, just noticed you're in Corvallis. You should take some time and go to Creswell and train with Tom. Amazing resource to have so close to us. His team trains MWF @ 5pm, and Sat at 11am. I know there is a Tuesday morning workout as well.

First time benching more than 225 in 6 years since I tore my shoulder, so pretty happy. Was strong and fast at 130 on chinup, but weight belt buckle broke when I hung the 140 on it, damn it.

Have not done BP in a long time. Happy bout PR's especially considering the tempos and many sets.
part 2:
32:20
Did some kind of wrong calculation and set up a BJ of 70cm (27,5 inch). Have probably only done half of this amount of swings at 2 pood totally since i started CrossFit. So i have to be very happy with that i made it through. Was i bit scared that my back would be crushed in the end of round 3. But i managed. Mostly sets of 10. Some 15's in the beginning. BJ's where not so bad on the legs. But extremely slow. Have to do some extra training there. Very useful to be forced into a long and really heavy metcon. You have to get into a totally different mindset. Totally my weaknesses also witch makes it even more useful.
awesome work Lisa!... way 2 bring the intensity 2 this brutal WOD!... 'smokin time...
~gm2
110#, no weight/strict/COVP @140
Was afraid to go any higher on bench with no spotter. Chins felt pretty good, these have come a long way. Didn't add weight yet but will start from now on with these kinds of WODs since they are improving :)
19:47** only completed 3 rounds. Chronic back problems and started the first part stiff. Took extra time to stretch between parts and first round felt pretty good. I have struggled with KBS getting correct hip pop and felt I was doing MUCH better with it today. GHD situps in the second round started to make my back tighten again. By round three, decided I needed to call it quits. Don't want to miss any days completely so will take care tonight.
Coach -
I had a question about yesterday's BP/PU workout. Is the point to maximize the load moved at the give tempo or to maximize the total load moved during 10 lifts? I ask because if I maximize one load, I might start at 30% of the suspected max load and jump a higher amount of weight on each progressive set. If it is total load, then my warmup includes loads to around 60% at 2-3 rep sets and then progress to 1 rep sets increasing smaller percentages (~5%).
225, 70# @ 201# BWT, 37:29 as RX
Part A: About what I thought I would get with bench. Funny how we never bench much but the max never really goes down. 70# was the heaviest weight I could find for the pullups, think I could have gone heavier.
Part B: This was tough for me both physically and mentally. I find myself trying to "game it" but waiting too long to get back in the game. I can run all day in this time domain but put some heavy KB's and high box jumps out there and I'm toast. Need to focus on keep moving, pick it up. I know I can do better than this so I can say I'm too happy. Would like another shot at this!
255 and 105 @ 188bw.
pressed for time on the wod 2. starting a trial tomorrow. cut the kb swings and box jumps in half. ghd sit ups stayed the same.
