back squat is not for 1RM, just challenging but confident 1's
make push ups reps extra perfect

What could I sub for DU's, since my calf is still messed up? I think squats should be okay, but any kind of jumping is definitely out right now.

JAM said...

@ Rainer

try knees to elbows...similar abdominal stimulus without the jumping

Male/195#/5'10"/29yo
Sorry for the late post, Coach. Moved to Georgia this weekend.

Part 1:
A - 295# with barbel for the first 5 sets. Training alone so used 130# dumbells for sets of 2 at Rx'd tempo for safety sake on the last 5 sets

B - 130#

Part 2:
Sub unbroken DUs at Rx'd reps for box jumps due to travel.

Time: 18:01

C.188
D.20x2

Legs were a little tender from the weekend. Great form on the push-ups, started a little ambitious though. New PR on 2 minute double-unders. GHD felt strong, kept a good rythm.

Noah Milstein said...

Ugh, this was may have been my worst performance on a WoD in memory.

I don't know what was wrong but I had some serious mental block on the back squats.

A. 110/115-failure/110/110-failure/105kg-failure
I decided to do an extra rep because of the initial failure at 115. This was all very bizarre because ordinarilly I have no problem doing 100kg for 5 reps
B. 11 - Tabata breakdown: 15/15/15/11 I was so damn close but just couldn't keep my energy up for the fourth round. If I had scaled back by one rep or had someone to yell at me I might have finished with a 15 or 14
C. 36 - the DU is perhaps my second worst goat right after HSPU
D. both unbroken

Overall I felt really awful about my overall performance mostly because of the initial failures on the backsquat at weights that I am very much capable of lifting so it struck me as a psychologial issue rather than a technical or fatigue/strength issue.

I'll be returning to the gym later to get my fix after this EPIC FAIL.

A. Maloney said...

For the GHD's is it 20 sets of 2 or 2 sets of 20?

LuLu said...

A. 150-155-160-160 really focused on tempo down and 1 sec up.

B. 15-12-9-9 thanks Julie for watching my form and making sure I got my chest, not legs to the floor every rep :)

C. 155 DU's

D. 20x2

Martin Altemark said...

A. 110kg, 120kg (Hmmm. too heavy backing a bit working form), 110kg, 115kg

B. 20-20-16-10. So... 10. Not very good pacing :-)

C. 116 DUs

D. unbroken

Nice and light session. Just what I needed.

Pete Seguin said...

D)2 sets of 20 unbroken with 40 secs rest between sets

Worked on handstand holds against walls and did some light snatch work as well.

A) 145/150/155/155
(These felt awesome today considering that i usually battle with back squats!)
B) 10-10-10-10
(Will push harder to get to failure next time instead of trying to stay steady. Form is still not as good as it should be.)
C)68

Just wanted to re-iterate my offer to my big dawg "family" - Anyone that is travelling to Calgary this weekend for the big dawg challenge #3 and needs a place to stay we have two spare bedrooms and their own bathroom and you are more than welcome to come crash with my family. We live about 20 minutes from the crossfit gym where it is being held. Just drop me an email lamakofka@yahoo.ca

A. 225, 275, 295(0) 285

Backsquats felt good up until 3rd set where it got heavy quickly (PR is heavier).

B. 17 15 14 14

C. Rope broke so did toes to bar for two minutes (I saw that was a sub a little farther up)

D. 2 sets of 20 Situps on Roman Chair


OPT, is there a good sub if the gym im at doesn't have a GHD machine? I tried doing both Situps and GHRs on the Roman chair, Im feel like Im getting very little activation for the Raises and for the situps, I feel it in my back way more than my abs. Any recommendations would be amazing!!

weezie said...

A - 315 / 335 / 355 / 375 (felt good)
B - 20 / 18 / 12 / 8 - score 8 (didn't try to pace)
C - 114 (got 42 consecutive DUs, which is REALLY good for me)
D - 20 / 20 (modified, unbroken)

Still sore from the last few days (legs and shoulders).

Kept hands directly under shoulders for pushups. Chest to ground each rep with complete lockout at top.

Really stoked about the double unders.

GHD situps were done on bench with feet hooked under DB rack. Touched head to ground on all reps, although I'm sure the range of motion was still somewhat more limited than a true GHD.

Laura said...

A. 12/130/140/145--squatting part felt great/easy didn't want to push my back/neck too much. Very difficult to hold bar on back--I have a bruise the size of Canada from my neck to mid back--a lot of physio last week!
B. 12/12/12/13
C. 136
D. unbroken

Overall, not too bad for my first workout in a week--neck and upper back still not great though.

I did Sundays' WOD yesterday so this was nice. I'm not so much sore as I am just tired.

Coach,

I just wanted to say how much I love following this blog and seeing what you're doing here. The programming seems very intelligently designed; I'm training for a raw powerlifting meet right now, but I'm looking forward to testing myself against the Big Dawgs in the spring (unfortunately it will be remotely, since I live in California).

Re yesterday's post: I'm still working on my definition of family, but you've given me a lot to mull over.

Regards,
Jake

B. 15/15/15/15 C2D. happy with this probably could've done 17 is Chest 2 Deck default?

C. 149 sucked right from the beginning but for some reason I'm better at these when fatigued lol.

quick and short today. feel good! (still sore from wallballs though, they get me every time)

D. unbroken

Stayed with 225 for all the squats - knee felt stable, but I'm definitely favoring it, so I stayed moderate. Tabata push-ups went 22, 17, 10, 8. DUs sucked, never strung more than 25 together. GHD SUs were fast and unbroken with about :45 in between.

PWO: 32gP (MRM shake), 1 scoop Refuel
60 min later: chicken sausage, orange, mac nuts

Notes:
A. Right knee felt a little funky during the warm up. Squats with just the bar didn't feel good, but I decided to give 135 a go anyway and would dump it if I felt anything. Ironically enough, 135 felt better than 45. I stayed conservative (405 is my PR) and it felt pretty good throughout. Don't think there is any way I am getting over 350 right now with my Right Knee the way it is.
B. Chin and Chest to deck simultaneously for every rep. Thought I would be able to hold the 20, but evidently not. Paced myself too b/c had several seconds left in rounds 1 and 2.
C. Really wanted 200, but had a couple trips that cost me.
D. Fast and smooth

MRI scheduled for Feb 19th!

I filmed everything, so I'll try to put it together and get it up on vimeo.

A: 330, 352, 374, 352

The 374 was a bit too close to my max. It was pretty slow.

Worked some clean and jerk, built to an easy 242

B: 16, 17, 17, 19. I started out too easy. Next time will try 19 or 20 for each set.

C: 171; 141 unbroken, 156 shoe lace came undone. lol! Should've kicked off my shoes but wasnt't thinking clearly.

could someone please help me?

does back squat refer to high-bar or low-bar back squat?

i am currently following a few days behind because of injury and illness i recover from. in regards of the chin up: chin up @ prescribed tempo are always weighted? and without tempo are kipping ones?

f.e. compare jan 17 pt 1 and jan 9 jan 17:

A1. Bench Press @ 30X0; 10 sets of 1; rest 120 sec
A2. Chin Ups @ 20X0; 10 sets of 1; rest 120 sec

jan 9:
AMRAP Double Unders in 45 sec
15 sec rest
AMRAP Chin Ups
2 min rest
5 sets for total points


thanks!

The last week has been a disaster. Flew across the country for a wedding. I managed a few BW workouts similiar to the posts. Sunday was 14 hours of flying, monday was 16 hours at work followed by a night of barfing kids. Tuesday is 12 hours at work and a wife in the ER. I am hoping for a decent night's sleep and a little workout in the morning.

D. 20, 20

Notes: The squats were high bar, felt good, it's been awhile since I've done heavy singles. Last week on the pushup tabata, I held 13 for 6 sets then dropped. I felt 15 was doable and it was just about right. Believe it or not, the DU's were a big win for me today. I hit rock bottom last week, mentally I just couldn't make them work. Today felt much better despite the low score. I'm going in the right direction. The GHD situps are proving to be more of a challenge. I got a new unit a few weeks ago, the Sorinex model, and it sits about 4-5" higher than my old one. Going all the way back to touch the ground with both hands requires a stretch but it's getting better.

andrew romeo said...

Thorsten: yes, you have it correct.

This is kind of embarassing at this stage but can someone tell me what kind of squat I am doing here, is it high bar or low bar?

I have always just put it where it is comfortable and gone from there.

DUs are a win for me today. Couldn't get 30 in a row last Saturday and I came in today determined to get it and I got 34 to start which is a PR. I am doing the Greg Amundson DU work (50 DUs in a warmup and progressing to 100) until I can start posting reasonable numbers.

Brandon

Unknown said...

Looks high to me... Step up to the bar next time and find that same position... then move a little lower. The bar should rest between the posterior deltoids and the mid/upper trapezius muscles. Someone please correct me if I am wrong... Just try it out... you will find a nice comfortable groove there... shoulders may be a bit tight the first few times, but after that... it's butter.

Notes: high bar back squat, 270 felt heavy with the 3 second down so dropped down to 245 to be confident. Maintained 14 for pushups. Disappointed with DU wanted at least 160. Shoulders went first. No GHD so did 20 swiss ball situps and 10 K2E each time.

Dave X said...

@PTS. Without a doubt that certainly looks like a high bar back squat to me.

Per Stronglifts.com:

High Bar. Weightlifters put the bar high on their traps on Olympic Squats. Just below the neck. Putting the bar high increases the distance bar to hips.

This has several implications:

More torque on your lower back.
More upright position compared to low bar.
Easier to squat deep.
Hips & quads evenly emphasized.
Less maximal weight.
Better transfer to Cleans & Snatches.
Easier on your shoulders if you’re inflexible.

Low Bar. Low bar is used by Powerlifters & recommended by Mark Rippetoe in Starting Strength. The bar rests below the bone on top of your shoulder-blades. Low bar decreases the distance bar to hips.

Consequences:

Less torque on your lower back.
More leaning forward.
Harder to squat rock bottom.
Posterior Chain emphasis. More hips, less quads.
Greater maximal weights can be used.

Worked out with Brent M tonight. Helps to have a buddy to smash it up with. Good job tonight.

Felt good today. Had a couple days rest cause I had food poisoning over the weekend. I was bummed I missed Isabela so I hit it up tonight after the WOD for the first time. 5:11, not great but I'm happy.

Instead of D. i did a workout in honor of my best friend from high school who died on this day a few years ago.
Nichols-
3 rounds
5 Cl & J, 135#
Shuttle Run
20 KBS, 2pd
15 Box Jumps, 24"

Obviously I was still smoked from the workout today and the weekend but I felt like I had to do this for Nichols.. Coming of the rest day topic of family I would appreciate prayers from this big dawg family for me and Nichols parents and all others who are dealing with deaths of loved ones at this time.

Trying to decide if I should rest tomorrow since I did that today.. thoughts anyone? OPT? on training volume.. should I continue on or take a rest tom?

Thanks

I was not sure if/how much rest there was between the various parts. So after completing A. I went sraight to B., etc. The squats felt really good. My mid back kept cramping up while staying tight and stabalizing my torso (chest up). My calves still feel very sore and tight from Sunday's last WOD. So the double unders were challenging and frustrating, but I got them done.

B.20,20,20,15 Chest touched arms locked out at top every rep.

C. 42 "baaa" said the goat.

D. Incline sit ups due to non ghd.

A. 100kg, 105kg, 110kg, 115kg(PR), 110kg. Felt really strong. Think I had alot more in me today. Have not done singles after my resent Wendler Cycle.
B. 10 (20-20-19-10) There is someting about the tabata format that absolutely destroys those arms with lactic acid. Super clean reps though. 
C. 113 (15, 24, 34, 14, 10, 8, 4, 2, 2) Slowely getting better.
D. Subbed KTE, sort of strict. 2x20. Surprisingly hard today. Had to break last set 13, 7.

I think I could have went a bit heavier on the squat but didnt have anyone with me.
Tabatas were good, only the last round was challenging.
Hit 83 unbroken on the DU's, after that my forearms and shoulders were burning so it made the rest a challenge.
GHD's are getting better.
