  4. I've got Sectionals in early march so I went back to Jan 27th and was going to take it from there. Did Jan 27th before seeing Coach's post today.
    Pullups and 135 lb Front Squats on the minute for as long as possible. Failed on the set of 20 Front Squats.
    I'll get back on track tomorrow with this WOD.

    HSPU were lots of work, but in the round of 9 I found the kip, I like it.
    Never thought I would be so happy to see a WOD as I was today. Off to see the chiro for my hip ....

  15. Late March
    M/46/5'8"/160

    Did the 150-175# workout

    Rd1: 15 8 0:46
    Rd2: 13 8 2:05
    Rd3: 6/5 8 3:38
    Rd4: 5/4 8 5:08
    Rd5: 6/1 8 6:39
    Rd6: 5 5/3 8:05
    Rd7: 3 5/3 9:14
    Rd8: 1 3/2/2/1 10:23

    HSPU felt great, hands inside 30" mark, head to deck and full extension - felt much better to put a pause at the top to get the reps.

    Had a break through with the L pull ups - my feet used to drop below parallel at the bottom of the drop. Got into a great "kip"/shoulder release rhythm that kept them up at the bottom. Had nothing left last round though.

    Did 50 GHD situps and measured the rollout on the rower afterwards - more like 20 meteres from a 1:24 pace.

    Modified with lightest possible resitance bands for HSPU's. I'm short on time today and this would have taken me 30+ RX'd. I try to switch back and forth but HSPU are a big weakness for me. This was good today. Thx coach!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Can't wait to hit this one!
    Since I'm so new to the whole gaming aspect of this, in regards to the HSPU, are you better off to break them up or just go to failure every round? I think I can get the 1st 15ub but but after that who knows!

    HSPU to 2.5" target. Still can't do high rep HSPU to full ROM and keep any kind of pace up. I could have timed myself with a sundial doing those rx'd. Need to learn how to kip these.

    The L-pulls felt great today. Awesome 3 day cycle coach!

    Was able to get the first 15 HSPU's unbroken, and then it felt as though some sort of large animal jumped on my back. Struggled to find a rhythm doing 1 at a time.

    All L pulls unbroken except the last set. Wussed out and had to drop after 4.

    All in all, felt pretty good this week.

  30. Early March:

    9 rounds + 5 hspu

    Steady pace throughout. No misses, but probably couldn't have gone any faster without missing a hspu - these were definitely the sticking point. Finished all reps with feet still on wall. Box jumps were performed to full extension standing on top of box before coming down.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I would think that if you are competing in mid March it would be best to follow the early March schedule or follow a week behind. Anyone elses thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. That just seems to be the easiest way to me.

    Does anyone have experience in the Concept 2 Model D VS the Model C? I was on fire today holding a 1:42/500m pace... I've never in my life been below a 1:48/500m, I am insanely happy with my results today but could it have to do with the different models?

  48. Late March;
    BW-198, Time=12:14

    Used the hand width standard from the AZ Sectionals... in WARM-UP!

    Hands wide but not crazy wide with many many singles. L-Pull-ups were flying until the 2nd last round. Loooooooong warm-up again to get the hams loose and shoulders toasty. HSPUs haven't been great lately, my best with those was the 1st 21 straight on my Diane PB about 1000 years ago.

    Joey, your time is insane dude. Un-frickin'-real.

    19:56 as rx'd. While this time is slow compared to to others it marks a big improvement for me. 10% kipping HSPU.

    We did a similiar wod on 9-18-09 and it took me 55:20, b/c of shitty HSPU's. They are still shitty but they are improving.

    First 15 hspu all unbroken, then went 11,2/8,3/6,3/6,1/5/3/1. breaks were just long enough to get out of the handstand and right back in.

    First 2 sets of L's were unbroken and then had to break em up 4,4/4,4/4,2,2/4,2,2/4,2,1,1,/2,1,1,1,1,1,1.

    When fatigue kicks in, I have a hard time keeping my left shoulder pulled back in place. Working hard at stabilizing that issue.

Have been stuck at 3/4 inch plate for a loooong time, but figured out how to kip today and even though they were all singles, I can finally do them, so I am pumped! Did half the wod as rx'd, but didn't bother really timing it.

    Then 50 ghd situps in right around 3 minutes.

    Notes
    - All L-PullUps UnBroken
    - HSPUs kicked me in the junk
    - Got the first
    - Sets looked like this:
    15 = 8, 3, 1, 2k, 1k
    13 = 1k, 2k, kipping singles from here on out

    Nutrition/Supplementation
    - PreWO: 16g BCAA-G
    - PWO: Shake (30gP and 30gC: Jarrow and Refuel)
    - 60 min later: chicken w/ mushrooms and capers, asparagus, mac nuts

    This was a truly humbling experience. HSPUs (and overhead strength in general) are my nemesis.

    Great WOD...Thanks, coach.

    MRI tomorrow for the right knee. Results will get read to me in a little over a week.

    YAY rest day tomorrow!!!

  71. My shoulder still feels a bit sketchy when I do pullups (feels like a strange weakness, and I can't apply all my force) but feels fine for HSPU so I did the early march WOD.

    First 5 rounds HSPU strict, then kipping. All unbroken, kept a solid pace the whole time.

    19 rounds on the dot.

    Not super happy with this. L-pull ups were great, actually happy with those, all supinated grip.

    HSPUs were brutal. Did about 18 strict the whole time and the rest were kipping. I've been working on them every other day in my warm up so getting better, but not great.

    Felt fatigued today, not enough food the past couple of days.

    9 miserable rounds. Had about 6-7 failed sets of HSPU's with several failures at rep 4. I think I completed 1 or 2 rds in the last 7-8 minutes because of HSPU failures. These are my goat and something I will focus on from here on out.

  77. I have the same question as others about weather to go with early or late marchers for peaking on the 13th and 14th. I guessed and went with late marchers today.

    13:52

    HSPU felt great. All were strict non-kipping. The L-sit pull ups were tough as usual. Glad to see them in the WODs though, because I can use all the practice at them as I can get.

    Did this late this afternoon at OPT. Haven't had much luck with HSPUs since the fall...I have never been at the point where I could string a lot together, but at least I could previously get full ROM to the floor. In fact, I had almost convinced myself that i 'lost' them. BUT...that kind of self doubt and talk doesn't fly with the amazing guys at OPT. HUGE thanks to Geoff and Michael for their encouragement and reminding me what I am capable of. So, after several months I finally got my HSPU back!!!!(no kip only because I don't know how...). Thanks also to Brett for helping me figure out how to approach the WOD.

    L-ups were solid...started and finished every rep in L position.

    I echo Katrina's comments...Congrats to Megs and anyone else who got their first HSPU today!

  84. Early March, 10 rounds.

    Did not Kip any of the hand stand push ups, limiting factor seemed to be the back extensions. Getting unbroken box jumps on a 24" box is a bit different than on a 20".

  89. 75"/189/24yrs

    I am also competing in Columbus, OH at the Arnold Classic (looks like it will be crazy, that many people are gonna make me nervous!) I know my Oly lifts will be a problem in the competition, but I thought it would be a cool experience to sign up and support the games and just do my best. I live in Columbus, so if any of you guys coming in town need anything let me know.

    Today's workout was awesome for me - I had some shoulder problems and I was new to HSPU just 3-4 weeks ago, and today I got 8 full rounds +2 HSPU in 20:00, and 9 full in 20:58. I did 30" Box and nailed all of these and the Back Extensions UB.

    Working on the HSPU was something I know I need going into these sectionals, along with double unders and Front squats. So in my warm-up I have added some Front Squat technique work with 95lbs, and in my cool down I do 5 minutes on jump rope work and I feel like I am coming along well... Thanks for the workout OPT.

    The HSPUs were slow, but consistent. The L-pull ups were good until the last 2 sets, then became very hard.

  92. Late march. 220 lb BW

    2 HSPU/4 L-pullup x 8. 16:49

    Struggled to get the last few HSPU sets, and just read about kipping. I will have to learn how to do that.

    Pull ups were challenging but doablen rings as usual. Hope to finish pullup bar in the garage this weekend

    Hat goes off to those who completed as rx.

  93. Early Marcher

    16 rounds

    HSPU's felt solid for a change
    Box Jumps felt strong and fast
    Back Extensions were easy, provided the rest

  94. 42.40 rx'd

    Didn't care about my time as I have only ever done 1 strict HSPU before and I wanted to rx this wod. Re-did 8 more HSPU at the end as the first 8 I did to a 2.5# plate.

    All HSPU were strict and broken (obviously) and L Pullups broken started at 6.

    Can anyone tell me what the standard is for L Pullups? Can I drop my legs once I reach lock out at the bottom and then bring them back up for next rep? Does that make sense?

  96. 18:54 rx'd @ 169# bwt

    no kip on hspu...hands just outside shoulders

    l-pullups unbroken for all but last 3 rounds...done strict and to full ROM, legs straight, feet above 90 degrees...all started and finished in L position

    hspu crushed me...after first 13 unbroken, they turned into a couple of triples, some doubles and lots of singles...brutal!
