Amy,
Fantastic work (as always!!!) on the video. Thanks for capturing this for us.

Ali...LOVED seeing your OHSs...didn't see them that day because I was in the midst of WOD2 and couldn't watch...great work!

Dave X said...

Awesome video. Makes me wish I had a chance to train with the great athletes up there in Calgary.

Rainer Hartmann said...

OPT: What can I do to sub for DU's? Don't want to risk hurting my calf again this close to Sectionals, and after 150 KTE's yesterday Toe-to-bar etc. doesn't seem like a good idea. Box Jumps?

RichExcellent said...

5 BP, rack, repeat for 3:00 duration, recover then on the B?

Martin Altemark said...

A: 5 (failed on 5th rep on 6th set, and I was unable to recover from that)
B: 7 (heavy today!)
C: 5 (45 degree bench)
D: 8 (hard to jump without glutes and hammies :-))

Big LOL when comparing my scores with coach's examples :-)

NorCal Chris said...

Good luck Unit.

Missed yesterday's wod as I went to the "East Sacramento Throwdown". Fun team event (2 guys / 2 gals). My team got 6th which was great. Thanks coach for all the excellent prep.

Out next 2-3 days for kid's ski week then back at it.

OPT said...

rainer, do 5 powerful row strokes, then rest for 10 sec, repeat for 4 minutes

OPT said...

rich, that is right, 5 BP, rack it, 5 BP, rack it...for 3 minutes, count your sets..

B:7 (well pace stick to plan)
C:5 (really hard)
D:8 (miss 9th by 3)

Nodar and that one got me confident on how to pace myself that felt good and efficient. Last rounds of Back extension was really hard needed to stretch between before D-U and it went well.

Good job Unit!!

Great Job Unit!! All the hard work is paying off!!

what are everyone's thoughts/opinions on Probiotics? Need to do a little more research on it but just wondering if anyone is taking them, how have you felt with your digestion, and to what extent and how are you supplementing them in?

Much appreciated

Unknown said...

B: 6- used two 1.5 pood kbs

Nice to be able to Rx'd weights, although pretty heavy. Back extensions were agonizing, back was still tight from yesterday. Could hardly walk after BEs. Was chasing that 13 rounds of DUs after PTS set the bar at 12. Finished with 10 sec left, no misses.

Savage score Unit. I knew you would crush that WOD. That is going to be a hard score to beat. I am interested to see how Pete Rassmusen does, that guy seems like a legit beast

Notes:

Back was fried from yesterday...made the BEs killer...
Really pleased with DUs never did that many UB sets of 20 before...perhaps could have done 7-8 but I did not want to fail (today anyways) and waste energy...

Also it was awesome to watch 20+ people do Fran today @ CFC...lots of bodies on the floor!!

Very pleased with my bench press score. Its been a glaring weakness for me. Having that number to shoot for definately helped here.
Double unders were no issue, but my buddy lee is starting to make funny noises... Will need to look at it closer before the plastic breaks on me.

Bench felt good. Got soaked doing the lunges outside. Back extensions were alright. The double unders were frustrating as usual. I tripped many times and had to restart several sets.

I love this programming.

C. 7
D. 0

Notes: Missed DUs at rep 16-18 4x. After the 4 minutes, I rested a minute and then got 20 on the first try. Frustrated beyond belief.

The good side was the BP. First 4 sets, I didn't take my hands off the bar and finished in 30s. Felt good to go light (for me) and fast. Doing a double today as I was traveling yesterday. Will do Nodar later before dinner with the family.

Jason Anderson said...

A:7 (Felt ok but still weakness for me I feel)
B:7 (done with 53&55lb KB) Made C: Harder probably.

Chad Hall said...

A: 6 (+3)
B: 6 (1.5 pood KBs)
C: 8 (Good mornings unweighted)
D: 9

Notes:

Disappointed with the bench press, wanted at least 8, probably didn't warm up enough to it.

Scaled up because that's all I had for the walking lunges, harder than I thought. Took too long in between sets. Should have pushed through more, didn't attack it as if I were being timed.

Subbed good mornings, still waiting on replacement GHD.

Wanted 10 for the double unders. Missed at set 7 and that screwed me over for a couple more misses trying to speed up.

Overall mediocre workout. Hands are still bothering me and played a factor in the bench and lunges. No excuse though. Gotta pick it up on Tuesday. Looking forward to recovering tomorrow.

Heavy Evy said...

A. 4;then failed after rep 4 twice.
B. 7
C. 8
D. 1 I'm still doing one single then one double, had allot of close ones, funny but I'm getting amore efficient, going to build my own rope and work on it a bit on rest days.

Happy Valentines day! And Happy Family day tommorow everyone.

Oh and Unit....you are a beast!

Chris Fodera said...

taking the day again to let the body heal. Looking forward to getting back at it on Tuesday.

Congrats to all that put it on the line this weekend.

AirDyne en route...had to do something while I was taking two days off of the program to heal up...what better way than to get more gear?

Hey Dawgs,

Just spent the last few hours doing a statistical analysis of the Midwest sectional. The full article with graphs and all is at:

http://erikluber.blogspot.com/2010/02/statistcal-analysis-of-midwest.html

Yes, I am a huge nerd, but it was fun. Pretty interesting results. The short of it was that WOD 1 pretty determined the entire competition...anyways, check it out if you are interested. Awesome work Unit!

I'm not sure why but back extensions are my nemesis!!! They just kill me and I end up with the tightest lower back afterwards. I think I'm actually going to film myself and ask for advice as to how I might improve these. Not sure if its lower back tightness or hyperextension, but tonight it took a good 30 minutes for the tightness (spasm) to subside. Or the most likely cause...I'm just shitty at them and need to practice!

Ang's Score:
A. 5 sets at 70lbs
B. 7
C. 6
D. 0 - (15/11/10/11/12)
15 Double unders was a PR. After the WOD she nailed two sets of 20 back to back! She's super happy.
Great job Ang!

Notes: Bench press could have gone better. Rested too much, and wasn't even close to failure when I was done. Lunges and Back Ex sucked. Finished 5 rounds of DU with a min left, then failed three times trying for a 6th round.

C. 7

Really happy with all of my numbers EXCEPT double unders. This is the second day I could string them together so... it's a work in progress. 6 sets of 5 and one set of 12 and then lots of little baby sets. Bench was tough but my 3 rep max is 95 so I was happy with that. And accidently scaled up for the db lunges. Probably would have gotten one more set with right weight. BE's met goal.
