my hammies are screaming again!

Dr Lisa said...

All I can say is I am glad that my life had a major blow up and I am now a day behind my hammies are thankful for my stress!!

Marie Rochat said...

Coach,

On Saturday I am going to go join the athletes preparing for sectionals at CrossFit Portland for a WOD. I know that Saturday will be the first Double in your Big Dawg programming. I was wondering if it would hurt my programming to replace one of the Big Dawg WODs with the CF Portland one? The WOD on Saturday is

10 rounds of:
3 reps clean and jerks, 105#
15 wall ball shots, 20#

If it's going to lead to over training or is going to overload a certain aspect of my training, I can pass on the CF Portland team WOD.

Thank you for your help.

OPT said...

Marie, the opportunity to participate at CF portland far outweighs the wods for the weekend...have fun with the group..back at it when you can

B1. 19/11/10
B2. All UB w/ 100lbs
C1. 9/7/7 Ring Dips
C2. All broken
Still very curious about the intent for the ROM on the KBS. GHD raises done correctly absolutely crush my hamstrings.

Robs said...

"swings to just inches above forehead"

Sounds to me like you should be able to look out under your kettlebell at the top of each swing?

Something between the russian kettlebell swing and the '09 Crossfit Games standard?

OPT said...

Mack Lar, swings in this workout are done this way b/c we have to know how to do movements in different ways and i also wanted a little more post chain tension for this workout alone...hope you noticed that was the case

LuLu said...

I am liking the early morning workouts better than hitting the gym after work. WAY more energy :)

A1. HSPU= 15-13-12
A2. DL= 110 for each set at 8 reps. I did these very wrong the other day. They felt good.

B1. Ring PU`s= 12-11-11
B2. KB swings= 24 kg all unbroken. So happy with these, they felt amazing :)

C1. Dips= 12-11-11
C2. GHD = 2 sets at 15 and one set of 30 with ab mat. Need to get used to the way these make my head feel, YUCK.

Noah Milstein said...

A1. DB-SP@20kg - 10/8/6
A2. DL@110kg - 8/8/8
B1. Ring PU - 17/11/10
B2. DBS@30kg - 15/15/15
C1. Dip - 4/7/6
C2. Back Ext - 15/15/15

I had to sub out the HSPU, and GHD Raises. In retrospect I would have liked to have gone heavier on the DL and the DBS. Better to have played it safe though and not destroyed my body.

Love it, keep 'em coming.

ring pu 25,18,16
kb swings- 2pd(+2.5#tapped to kb) x15 x3

GHD raises 15x3

-1 much easier to gage than the -2

A1. 9,6,6 (hands on 10kg plates, head to ground)

B1. 14,10,9
B2. 80# *15 *3

C1. 8,7,6
C2. 15,15,15

all the pressing moves felt better. DL was my mistake on the weights I think I would have been better served lighter. If we do this again I will.

Geoff Aucoin said...

Lots of new and interesting info posted on the Games site about the Affiliate Cup. Looks like it's going to be tough just to make it to Aromas.

Mack Lar said...

Coach, last week this KBS ROM came after the heavy OHS day so my thought was that it might be to reduce the load on the shoulders. Give them a break essentially, because they were pretty beat up from the day before. The focus on the posterior chain makes much more sense, thanks for clearing it up. Whenever I think Im beginning to figure it out, you change it up a little. One of the major reasons I feel much better prepared after spending 6 months on your programming. Way more constantly varied. Makes me wish I had clicked on your link from the mainsite in 2008!

Brian Maier said...

Finally able to do a light jog 5 weeks after grade 2 ankle sprain. I've been easing back in the WOD's and doing dorsiflexion exercises to strengthen the ankle...still subbing a few lifts but excited that my ankle is finally allowing me to pick up the intensity.

A1: subbed shoulder press (115#) 10,8,6
A2: 205,225,245 - 8 reps
B1: 22,15,13
B2: all unbroken with 2 pood kb
C1: 12,10,8
C2: 10,10,10 unbroken (hams are toast)

Yesterday's WOD:
1st 3 rounds unbroken
last 4 rounds broken at CTB

L-Sit...uhmmmmm...humbling-0 sec

Not able to do D/U's yet so jumped rope on one leg...no wonder my left calf hurts today.

B1: 16, 14, 11
B2: 2 pood unbroken
C1: 8, 8, 7
C2: all unbroken and in searing fire of many suns.

notes: hspu (pressing) started out stronger but faded faster. Bad/little sleep last night and trained on about 17 hr fast. Not trying IF, it just worked out that way. might not have been able to complete ghd raises last set ub, but toddler came out wearing nothing but an open raincoat hah, so I had to rest longer while getting her inside. Fire Academy 1 week from tomorrow. That is my 16 week sectional/regional/qualifier event this year.

C2. 3 x 15

All pushing movements were better ROM and tempo than on Sunday, and felt stronger. Still erring on the light side with the DLs. Swings were a bitch. Subbed non-tempo reverse hypers for the GHRs due to my knee still feeling weird and having a bit of swelling. I think double-unders may not happen too frequently for me anymore - day after has been pretty rough.

C1. 10,8,7
C2. 10,3,2, then changed the the pad distance 15, 10/5
I spent and lot of time warming the soulder and hammies up today,

rackempackem said...

A1. 14, 10, 10. So much harder in the specified tempo. Have a PR of 27 regular. Could probably have pushed slightly further to hit the -1 rep accurately. Time will tell.

A2. 80kg x 8, 90kg x 8, 100kg x 8. For some reason I missed the tempo spec. for these. First time doing the movement ever. Dead stop between reps at least.

B1. 12, 9, 7. Approximately 10 cm from rings to floor. Chest to deck.

B2. 32kg x 3

C1. 4, 5, 5. Sub'd Ring Dips. More or less to failure. Smoked in shoulder region at that point. Good training!

C2. Sub'd Good Mornings @40kg. No possibility for GHD raises at the gym as of yet. A fact that my hamstrings are very happy about!

Chad Walding said...

A1. 10/7/6...really need to get better at these
A2. 185/185/185 x 8 on all... first time doing these, felt good, probably could have gone heavier.
B1. 10/6/5..arms starting to get tired
B2. 2 pood unbroken on all sets...felt easy
C1. 3/3/3 on ring dips...arms were done at this point
C2. all unbroken sets...good tempo


the past two days have really worked on my weakness with body weight stuff. I feel like I'm at a constant struggle with gain weight and get more power or lose weight and be a better with gymnastics. I'm 6'1 and was 182 at last years regionals and was smoked with the heavy load but did well with body weight WOD's. Now I'm 202 with much more power but I've definitely lost the body weight strength. I'm thinking 195 would be a good goal for sectionsals.

Dr Lisa said...

did yesterdays wod today do to personal crap.

Pullup sequence was horribly awful i just couldn't get my head in it. L pullups were actually good but i can't butterfly and my C2B just wasnt' there today. Major SUCKAGE.

L sits on fist 10/10/12

DUs were actually surprisingly smoooth and easy today?? Total 448

Might hit todays tomorrow depending on life and body.

Anonymous said...

I blame this on Geoff jinxing me.

A1. 17/13/11
A2. 287x8/312x7/317x5 DL's were more regular than stiff leg. I have not done stiff leg where I did not return the bar to the floor between each rep. Therefore I was too bent in my knee on these reps.
B1. 21/12/10
B2. 2.5 pood, this was actually easier than the 2 pood I used last time we did this WOD when the reps were 25. Speak to my body's preference to shorter work intervals and the fiber twitch make-up.
C1. 12/9/8 - strict
C2. 20/20/20 - hands at head, went for 5 extra reps because of my screw up with the stiff leg DL's, posterior chain was not taxed to the degree they would of been had I done it properly. Tempo was exact for all reps.

A1: 15, 10, 11
A2: 8x70kg, 8x80kg, 7x100kg

B1: 17, 15, 10 (tempo was not smooth here - sometimes stopped to much in top)
B2: 3x15x40kg (2,5 pood)

C1 (strict ring dips): 7, 5, 5
C2 (good mornings w bar): 15, 15, 15

Hammies still tight as hell. Glad I could do this. Let flexibility decide ROM in SLDLs (shorter than last time, but also better I think). Paid alot of attention to foot placements on the post-chain movements. Felt strong.

Chris Fodera said...

Went to the Clinic today for my right knee. Trainer thinks it is 1 of two things:
a. Lateral Meniscus Tear
b. Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome

He is leaning toward the Lateral Meniscus Tear because of the location on the outside of my knee...slightly lower than where ITB symptoms surface.

The pain is really only present when pressure is applied upward from the heel and the knee is bent. It is on the outside of my knee and where the joint crease is.

My right thigh/quad is slightly atrophied compared to my left. He is optimistic that it is not a full-on tear because of my ability to do light (200# and less) squats/cleans will little to no discomfort. That paired with the fact that over the weeks, it has gradually hurt less and less, he thinks it is a partial tear that will not require surgery.

I am slated for 4 more therapy (stretches/exercises/stim) sessions. If it is not progressing after those two weeks, he'll order the MRI.

I am somewhat hopeful because a month ago I couldn't walk down the stairs. Tuesday I did the Hang Squat Clean workout. My time wasn't the hottest, but I only felt slight discomfort, no pain.

Notes: Lower back pulverized. Intermittent 1 second pauses at the top of the ghd raises in the later reps. Lower back was screaming today. Quads are still pretty sore from the other day. Motrin is helping the strain in the back from a few days ago. Should be good to go in a few days.

Hook grip on SSLDL. Going to try mixed grip next time and see what happens as grip is limiting factor on these.

GHRs: Hands behind head. Too much external rotation at hip once fatigue creeps in. Need to correct that.

C1. 5/5/5
C2. 15/15/15

Notes: The Semi Stiff legged DL's felt really good. I used a DB for kettlebell swings and would have liked to go higher in weight, but my current set up would not permit it for this WOD. Dips are obviously still a weakness of mine. And finally, I did much much better with the GHD raises. I think my huge improvement is largely due to my body learning the movement better (Sunday was my first day ever doing these).

I am looking forward to some rest tomorrow!

Dr Lisa said...

Thanks Becky,
Everything is fine just work bulls#$*. I have definitely had to get comfortable with the uncomfortable these last two days - it has become quite apparent to me during this stress that this programming has not only prepared me to get comfortable with the uncomfortable physically but also mentally. This too shall pass and i will be stronger for it!!!

Has anyone taken the glutamine powder ordered through OPT... I was wondering when the best time to take this... It's on powder form so I would throw it in my morning shake in the am because do not have time to make stuff after a workout except for my POST WOD stuff that entails 4 oz of turkey and 1 pear.. ANy suggestions would be great

More weight and higher reps on hspus affected rpu
dips were on rings and done strict...found these very tough...

Pete Seguin said...

Quick question? I played 2 hours of fast-paced hockey this afternoon. It was a great workout but I really felt it when it came time to give an extra effort during today's workout. I know that crossfit encourages sport in order to put our fitness into practice, but in terms of proper recovery and injury prevention, how should I account for this while doing this programming in particular? Cause I'm feeling pretty taxed right now! Off to bed! Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this for me.

A1.10/8/7 (Did head to floor with hands on 3 inch high platforms for extra depth)
A2.225/245/245
B1.17/12/12
B2.24kg/24kg/24kg (highest weight available, all unbroken, not heavy enough)
C1.12,9,9
C2.12,3/8,4,3/5,5,3,2

I was really surprised that adding just a few more inches of depth in
the HSPU's made them so much more difficult. My legs were cooked from hockey so the 4 second down-tempo on the way down made it really hard to lift heavy for the deadlifts and made the GH raises feel like my calfs and hammies were going to explode.

I've fallen a day behind. Will either do three workouts on Saturday or one tomorrow on the rest day.

Kevin - I use glutamine (from OPT) immediately after each workout. About five grams mixed with water.

Paul - I've wondered the same thing. Sports are great, but how do you incorporate regular playing into a training program? I look forward to hearing what you learn.

Paul: my $.02

Wow...2 hours of hockey prior to a Wod.

I run into the same problem as I juggle OPT Wod's with football, basketball and sprint triathlons. I think you need to ask yourself WHY you do OPT programming? If you're preparing yourself for the games then it's essential to follow OPT programming to a T and give every workout 110% effort. In order to do this you have to scale down on other activities that may be affecting your ability to hit every Wod with full intensity.

However, if you're incorporating OPT programming into your life to give you an edge in your other sports and you have no intention of competing in the games, then you'll need to reduce the intensity on some of the WOD's. Or, instead of the 4-6 prescribed WOD's per week, you could scale down to 4 WOD's in order to add hockey games or other sport-specific sessions to your workouts.

I run sprint triathlons so I have found it helpful to scale back on OPT programming approximately 30 days prior to an event so I can crank up the swimming and biking workouts. This ensures that I can give each swim and bike workout the proper intensity. In addition, I regularly play basketball and flag football games during the week and generally hit the OPT Wod's with less intensity the day before the event. This ensures that I have proper recovery time. Listen to your body. As for injury prevention, can't help you there...you're playing hockey.hehe

OPT said...

Kevin, based on what i know from you right now, i'd suggest 10 g right before bed and 10 g on empty tummy when you wake and 10g post workout...this differs for everyone as life, stress, gut health, absorption and your current amino acid pool has a part to play in this...let me know how it goes

Pete, the workouts have always been designed with the idea in mind that this is the sport of choice, and this is the training reflected for that...within it is what all other sports have, competitions, training ideas and evolutions, varying athletes and requiring multiple skills...so to answer your question it largely depends on what you want to get from the other "sports"...if you want to play them intensely...remember that all intensity is measured in a week as one...
If one wants to become really good at CF, you have to practice CF only is my thoughts....if you want to be OK at it and play other sports..then just measure the mental effort put into the other sports...one can play other sports and still do well at CF but do not expect to get same results as others that want to be elite at it..
it is a very good topic of conversation for everyone to ask themselves..."am i doing this to win points?...or am I doing this to become healthier...?" as there are always times in every sport for elite levels where you go into the point of unhealthy/overtrained/overstressed in order to perform at high levels...
when you find that answer, just ensure you put the right mental energy each task that you wish to increase and you'll get what you want...
on a physiological level, listen to your body...it will tell you what to do assuming all your bases are covered...thx for the question

Once again, the tempos make everything so much harder than what I am usually used to, but I really enjoyed this WOD. It challenged me perfectly. I really enjoyed how this was a slight variation of the WOD that we did a few days ago. It helped me to push harder and have a better idea of where I should be on this WOD.
