A1. 5@265, 4@275 for the rest of the sets
A2. 5,5,4,4,5
B. 7@35/hand, 7@40/hand, 7@45/hand, 5@50/hand - tempo was a little too fast for the first 2 sets
C. Subbed anchored swiss ball situps - 4:04 - better than last week
I went through last week's notes and couldn't find the answers to these questions:
DB Split squats: Is this done with or without a bench? If bench, the trailing leg is on the bench? All reps for one leg then switch?
GHD Situps: What is the same method as last time?
Thanks, David.
Hi David,
1. DB Split Squats are using bench for trailing leg. You can find video demos from OPT's site here:
http://www.optimumtraining.ca/videos.htm
Click on "lower" to see the DB split squat..
2. GHD situps were done last week so I believe that we are to use the same method, setup, etc in order to compare results week over week.
Best, Chris
Dawgs,
Do you use bands for resistance (Westside Barbell). Last Saturday you may have seen the main-site post of Khalipa using them for the DL. (link below)
Good idea? What about for squats?
Many thanks. CB

A1) 135#x7/155#x6/165#x6/175#x5/185x4 failed on 5th rep in the hole
A2) 12/8/10/8/8 odd sets i used a Sup. palms facing grip.. evens i used standard palms away grip
B.) 25# x 7/leg for all 3 sets
C.) 7:20
The last time we did these 1/27 - 8:34... Knocked a 1:14 off my time and I made it to 40 unbroken both hands overhead before I had to rest and went alt hands compared to 25 unbroken. Pretty Happy overall with that and the way I was able to keep tempo on the squats. Those Split Squats destroyed my hips.. made those GHD's even harder!!
PWF - 45g whey protein mixed with 30g Carbs from a Yam and apple sauce mix
an hour later
Balanced PFC Meal - Paleo Meatload with tomato sauce, sauteed veggies in coconut oil - (bell peppers, zuccini and spinach with steamed cauliflower.) pretty typical breakfast or dinner
What is the high bar squat, how do you get your ass to the grass?
no pull ups for me today. using my new found butterfly kip for the first time in a workout with 140 pull ups the other day was probably a bad idea. right elbow feels like its been beaten with a hammer. will have to sub something.
ken c, have you done the powell raise and db ext rot scoring before? use 10% of your close grip bench press for a DB per hand and do amrap per arm and let me know what the scores are.
norcal chris, there are a lot of westside stuff we've been using or i have at least since 2001...problem is that i program based on what EVERYONE can do...i'd love to prescribe AirDyne sprints, more rope climbing, pulley exercises, band work for speed days etc...but it does not seem appropriate for everyone then, only a few...over time as everyones gym grows, we'll include more (believe me i have a lot of little tricks in the truck this community has not seen)
A 135 165 185 195 205(6)
A2 5 5 5 5 5 (very happy with this)
B 15 lb DB's for all
C 8:53 (last time 7:44 with a 5 min break between B and C, this time, 45 sec break, HUGE DIFFERENCE.
Overall happy with this wod, this is the first time i have been able to do those L-ups as rxed, felt very strong and stable doing those, great feeling!!!
All right, Dawgs, I'll see you guys in a month. I'm off to SFAS and hoping to come back with some awesome stories.
Thanks to everyone on here for challenging me every day with your numbers!
And to Coach, thank you, again, for everything. I'm on my way to achieve Goal #1 from your December post.
Praying for safety, success, and a good time.
Peace Out.

OPT
I also watched thy westside barbell video then watched a bunch more. Very cool stuff something he said I wanted to ask you about. He says to pick a weight and keep it the same for the whole workout because your CBS cannot understand increasing weights if you are trying to increase speed. So for the back squats today would it be better to keep the weight the same and concentrate on speed??? Your thoughts...
Oops that was CNS darn iPhone keyboard
Did a WOD on Friday because of time issues today.
Snatch practice - up to 110# x 3 rep, full squat
+
Low bar Squat to bench for single - 349
+
1-10 C2B Ladder
4:08...could have been faster
Rohan some stuff you just have to figure out on your own...
Lisa M, not for this workout.
Geoff is that because it is tempo??

Wasn't feeling it from the get to today anyway but I have destroyed my Yukon GHD machine. It's brand spanking new as of last year. Ripped the foot anchor right off the base weld. Damnit! Now what, a $650+ sorinex? *argh*
A1 HBBS: 110kg (242#)
A2 LPU: 7,6,5,5 - Singles... Matches last weeks numbers. Shoulder hurt dropping the last little distance into straight hang so started making singles out of them.
B DBBS: 15/20/25/35# - All in 6's, no breaks between legs. Did them per the OPT video with rear leg raised.
C 100 GHD: 48 at 1:48. Last week Kyle and I did alternating single hands to floor and time was in the 3'ish range. Wanted to see how 2 hands compared and they were proving more difficult but unfortunately wasn't able to finish. Kyle's motivation last go around helped.
If anyone knows where I can buy a Sorinex at < retail, please let me know.

OPT thanks for the reply. I tried some bands just out of curiosity today. Thoughts in notes below.
A1. 155, 160, 165(4), 165(5), 165(6) [with purple bands]
A2. 4, 7, 6, 7, 7
B. 25, 35 (forgot tempo), 20, 20
C. 5:56
Notes:
A1. Band setup was actually quite easy. I just looped bands to 55# DBs and attached to bar. OK now the fun / dangerous part... I usually will do 4-6 in the 210 range so I opened with 185.... SHIT. I got so stuck it was a joke. Couldn't even bail out. Sooo I went down to 155 and realized a couple of things. 1) How far out over my toes I get at the top part of the concentric movement... this is exaggerated with the bands in a big way. 2) I could make the lift easier by stacking the bar over the center of the foot (like we are supposed to do anyway) and removing the forward lever action.
I bothered to get a scale and note afterward that at the top of the squat the bands add ~100# and at the middle ~65#. Not too sure I would go with these again without OPTs blessings but I was too curious not to try.
C. fried. 2:30 at 50 then faded big time.

Coach, I am traveling for work this upcoming week. I will have long training days. There are no 24 hr. gyms where I am goining. What approach would you take for this. I will be back home for the weekend. I travel with a lot of bands and a jump rope. Any thoughts would be great. Thaanks!

Squats and pullups felt good, better than last time. I missed on the db split squat to put foot on bench, would have made a difference. Although the 55# dbs really showed me again how my grip is a weakness of mine.

Knee pain getting better. Wasn't able to do any back squat two weeks ago.
My therapy has been 15 min on bike and 15 min on total gym everyday with very light resitance high rep sessions. Lots of hamstring, IT band, quad stretching. Icing 2-3 times daily. Been doing this the past 2 weeks with very good results.

have not done hbbs in a long time found I tough to maintain tempo...
My core was on fire today from the LPUs and made the ghd's very challenging....
I fond this wod very tough all around did not expect to feel as tired as I was...i am comng down with a minor chest cold but still this wod kicked me in the ass
Aaron, do doubles per day with high int short volume and vary6 b/t bodyweight only, rope only and running only wods until you get back

B. 4 x 5 w/ 30 lbs
C. 4:25.....Both hands behind head, 5 seconds slower then last time. This time I only rested 45 seconds though before getting onto the GHD
lisa, purpose behind same weights with speed work is to "teach" the CNS, today we are "training" the CNS and it CAN understand increasing weights...also remember Lisa from nutrition 101 how we are all "influenced" by written word..
March
A1. 225(5)/245(5)/275(5)/295(5)/315(4)
A2. 4/5/5/4/5
B. All sets 5/leg w/25#DB per hand
C. 6:29
Notes: HBBS felt really good until the last reps on sets 4 and 5. Actually got the 5th rep on the 5th set, but paused too much at the top before starting the eccentric so it doesn't count. The extra weight made the DB splits much harder than the last time (fewer reps at the same weight this time).
L-pulls were better by about a rep per round and I was 32s faster on the GHD this time, so I am very happy with today.
Brandon
A1. 135, 155, 165, 175, 185 6 reps for all.
A2. 5, 5, 4, 4, 4 dead hang with knees bent.

B. 30#, 35#, 40# 45#/hand 7/leg for all
C. 3:30 (4:07 last time) modified on swiss ball.
felt really good this morning, maybe because i had food in me before I lifted.

I'm entered into the C.R.A.S.H.-B. sprints satellite tomorrow morning, so I adjusted today's training to leave the legs relatively fresh and still get in some high intensity, low volume row work.

May have been too high a level of intensity for an ideal time tomorrow, but I still think I can get a PR, which currently stands at 7:00.9 from the last OPT challenge. Rows felt good. Tied last week’s time on the GHD, but they felt harder and I had to break earlier.
A1: 220/230/240/245(4)/245(4)
A2: 3-4-3-3-3, more like K-pullups
B: 45(7/7), 55(6/6), 55(5/5), 55(f @ rep 2)-shut it down
C: 50 in 3:43 and felt like shit so shuter' down
A.195, 215, 225, 245(5), 255(5) - started too light
A2.12, 10, 9, 7, 7
B. 40, 50, 55(7), 55(5)
C. 4:44 - 17 sec faster w/ less rest beforehand- 3 min rest
Brent-
Same thing happened to me with my yukon GHD. Almost broke my neck when that piece broke off. I called the company and they mailed me a new "improved" piece for free. They welded an additional support piece bent at 45 degrees to make it stronger at the base. If i had the money i would have bought the sorinex.

Loving the lower body work, squats felt awesome. 4th set not quite at tempo, so put the weight down a bit. GHDs felt smoother today.
Wanted to note that it is often impossible for me to only take the "Rx'd" rest between A's and B's. Working out in the globo I have to clean up my station/switch rooms. I simply go as fast as I can. So it took me about 3 min between B and C, so I suppose my time would have been slower had I only managed the 45 rest.
Lisa, James' response is definately more diplomatic than the 'because I said so' that I usually fall back on.
Stick with Big Dawgs methods; use West Side when you're ready to focus only on lifting rediculously heavy things...
A: 308/6 x 4, 316/6
B: 13,11,11,10,9
C: kbs in each hand, 53/7, 53/7, 62/7, 70/7
D: 3:11 for 50, slow and steady. I feel generally compromised doing ghds, need to work on them.
The timed rests made this workout pretty tough.

Notes
A1. These felt fine on my knee which is promising. I do notice that when I get below parallel, my weight shifts to my left side. I am not sure if this is a result of my Right Knee injury or if I need to see a Chiro for my left hip area. Nothing on my left side hurts; I have noticed clicking in my left hip in the past during GHDs though. Either way...my leg didn't even feel up to doing this portion last time, so I am happy to have gotten it in.
A2. Numbers similar to last time, but felt smoother/easier today.
B. Balance was a little tricky here. I have been doing these in Physical Therapy for my knee, except unweighted and trail leg on a yoga ball. Got to my quads quick.
C. About 40 seconds slower than last time, except last time I didn't do any previous part of the WOD except for A2. I also had a lot more rest than 45 seconds last time...well over 10 min rest last time. I am happy w/ the result considering that I got the whole WOD in today w/out feeling anything bad on my knee.
Meeting up with Grant and his wife Kathleen tomorrow for the WOD on Camp Pendleton...good times.
Thanks James/Geoff for the clarification appreciate it!!!
Brent Rogue has the Sorinex and everyone who has one says it is "Solid" and i tried one out at Natural hight and it was great for the price.

C: 50 K2E 5:45
Notes:
Squats felt solid, pretty happy with them, stuck to the tempo really well. Ass to floor for all of them. Felt strong for the most part coming out of the hole. New shoes definitely help.
L-pullups were a lot better than last time tempo wise, really happy with these even though the numbers aren't that high. Felt like I could squeeze out a couple more each time too (I think because of the creatine I've been taking, really noticed a difference).
Focused on tempo and form for the split squats, still don't feel comfortable, especially with my left leg, it's a little weaker with poorer flexibility.
GHD frickin' broke! Not happy! Did 50 K2E instead and then 50 butterfly situps.
A1. 275x5/x5/x4/x4/x4 - Have not done high bar in too long and started too heavy. Had a lot of trouble re-learning the lift to get out of the bottom, anyway glad to have worked on it today. Started to feel better technically by last set.
A2. 11/10/10/8/7
B. Used 1.5 pood KB for first set x 7/leg, then 2 pood/hand for next 4 sets x 5 reps/leg. Interestingly to me, the concentric tempo I usually find tough to do that slow. With todays reps and load (I have nothing between 1.5 and 2 pood) I was pushing up as much as I could in reps 4 and 5 and was still taking the 3s.
C. 5:23, slightly faster than last time, but i took very little rest between B and C due to time.
A1. 205,215,225,235,245 (all for 5 reps)
A2. 7,7,7,6,7 (all with 18# added)

30 sec faster on GHD than last time. Felt very strong today on all lifts.

C. Ran out of time and didn't get a chance to this part. Ripped off 20 reps quickly before I ran out the door.
Squats felt strong today. I was especially happy with the L-Pullups. My left shoulder felt alot more solid and strong when pulling out of the deadhang position.
Split squats were rough but I didnt get the same numb feeling in my left leg as last time.
Not happy about missing out on the GHD Situps although I was cooked by that point anyways.

A2. 4-3-4-4-3

C. Unfortunately didnt have time to do all GHD situps so did 1 set of as many as possible in a row and was able to do 42 straight which is the most I have done yet in one shot!
During the first few sets of squats, I was leaning way too far forward. As soon as I focused on staying more upright these felt so much better! Thanks Pete!!!
Split squats felt great compared to last time so really happy with these!

In Brother-in-law's garage here in MD under 24" of snow. Lots of improvisation and cold/wet/slippery garage.
Got to count today as a double after 3+ hours of shoveling the driveway this afternoon.
Thanks GC, thats great news! When I called the wife and told her what happened today she laughed and said, "Last time you lost your shirt, this time you lost your GHD". I'll give them a call on Monday!
I can't believe your GHD broke, Brent, that can't be easy to do! It must be well used, I guess you'll have to pony up for the next one...

L pull ups are getting better, split leg squats still make my quads feel like they will rip out of my skin. GHD sit ups are getting a lot stronger and faster.

The squats were completely ass to grass. I focused on depth and tempo rather than weight. Used a pretty narrow stance for these as well. The L sit pull ups were tough for me again as usual. I must say that I have been implementing some hamstring streching from Kelly Starrett's seminar and I already feel a difference in my L Sit Pull Ups (it's only been about week too).

i alternated the external rotations and the powell raises as part of A2. not sure why the right side is stronger than the left. i'm left handed. go figure.
oh yeah. something pinched in my shoulder on that 13 round with the left hand ext. rot. or i could have done a few more. right elbow is okay now.
