I was hoping for rows on part 2!!
Anyone have any spare hamstrings?
Paul Klein/Stephen Flamm,
Saw your info on yesterday's comments, my sectional is also the weekend of March 7th (in Ohio @ Arnold Classic). I'd be very interested in hearing how you guys approach the next couple of weeks of training, please keep me in the loop if possible.
Thanks,
Adam

hopefully getting part 2 doen after work
Adam,
I have made the decision to start today with the workout for the Feb crew on January 27th. I will follow from there and I should taper nicely for the 6th and 7th. I guess I will be off the grid until after qualifier. Hopefully I do well and will be back.
Cheers.
PK
A) 185/190/195/205/215/225
B1) 30# for all x 9 reps..no rest b/t legs right?
B2) All 20 x 3 unbroken on tempo

B1. 20#, 25, 30x7, 30x9
B2. 11, 11, 11, 9
Enjoyed the 3011 tempo on the DB split squats. Pleasantly surprised by reps on the GH raises, hamstrings were still really tight from last cycle. Previous AMRAP GH raises was 8, so definitely making some real progress there.
Hey, this is willie albert I know this is a little late but, I just wanted to thank opt for posting that vid and all the comments are appreciated...the workout was pretty random and we just pic some weights that would total 1000+lbs with some thought I'am sure it could be done a little cleaner and faster...again thank you, peace in the middle.
Part One:
A. 145, 145, 155, 160, 165, 175
B1. 40lb each hand
B2. Sets of 15
Looking forward to Part Two.
A.325,345,355,365,375,385x1.
B.72x7x4
C. 20,20,15,15.
Heard nasty pop/snap on rep 6 ,4th round of lunge.I felt and heard the pop on the back leg on the 10 inch box. Finished workout as I felt ok ,but I have done some damage ,just don't know how much. Icing it now I think its at the origin of the rectus femoris or sartorius but not sure which muscle is at fault. I dont have an issue walking but can feel it when stretched
Coach or crew does anyone have any experience with this type of thing happening?
Did two WOD's yesterday, the second on was:
Run 1 min @ 9.0 mph (incline 2)
12 Ghd Sit-ups
21 Air Squats
Declining Rest Periods
90sec/80sec/70sec/60sec...20sec/10sec. That was 10 intervals in total.
Will do these tomorrow.
Anyone else want to post what they did today instead of Big Dawgs?
No? Cool.
A. 201/211/217/225/230/235
B1.30/35/40/45
B2. All unbroken (20)
Mike...love the 2nd WOD you did yesterday. I'm going to try and work that in this next week or so.
Bad idea to play catch-up on Monday(rest day) and run 15 X 10 sec sprints. My hammies are hating me right now so did not do GH raises today.
A. 185,205,225,235,245,265
went light today...legs really sore
B1: 7/leg X 4 w/ 35lb db's
B2: subbed GH situps 25 X 4
All in kg:
A: 110x5 (fail rep6), 108x4 (fail rep 5), 105x4, 100x4, 102.5x2, 102.5x2.
Went toooo heavy from the beginning, big mistake!
B1: 2x21 9/9, 2x21 9/9, 2x21 9/9, 2x21 9/9
B2: 15, 15, 15, 15
Sub´d B2 with nordic hamstring (youtube it) and kept the excentric part as low as I could manage to.
10 min rest before part 2:
1. Damp 5- 170m ..
2. Damp 7- 172m ..
3. Damp 4- 170m ..
4. Damp 5- 170m
5 min rest
5. Damp 6- 169m ..
6. Damp 5- 171m ..

Hi BK,
I'll give you my opinion on your situation.
Basically with that much info its hard to say what it is exactly and what is the gravity of the problem but in all case :
-Don't stretch it at all before its 80 % better. When you'll start to stretch, make sure to stay conscious, of the area and breath by your nose really steady and calmly. Basically if your face can remain calm as you stretch and your breathing steady your body will let go of the tension. As the body relax it will allow you to go deeper in the tension and release the actual trauma (this process should be uncomfortable but never painful stop before pain, FOR CHANGE :). You want to release the trauma but not chocking the spot again. Until you can go in your full range of motion with light ballistic movement, try to avoid all explosive movements involving the problematic region. (everything that involve the hips). I know its a critic moment in your training but you want to get back on your feet as soon as you can so you'll have to take a step back for few days, intensity, volume, anything to protect that region. Rest, massages, osteopathy, ... whatever works for you would help. After two day of complete rest of that region, a bit of very light and control movement of the region (no load). As I look at you scores, its obvious that your lower region is stonger than average so take that period to focus on your weekness without overloading your (upper region) and rest well.
Next time, when you hurt yourself in training, (not in competition) stop doing the movement RIGHT AWAY if you continu to work the area or even worst, the same movement you are not going to do any pr, no good performances and more likely injure it more and need more time off at the end and that suck bad. (easy to say not easy to apply for competitive athletes I know).
-Ice it for sure 10 min on 10 min off 3 time in a row (repeate twice during the evening if you can. For this afternoon training, if I would be you I would not go to the gym but do the rowing training in your head in a quiet place, visualize it, every stokes and put a timer, take your rest,... just like a real one or just jump the second part for today cause its fresh and you don't want to get it worst. You'll see tomorrow how better it got and take actions regarding your situation.
Sleep a minimum of 8h. Eat well, research for natural anti-inflamatory (Fresh pinapple, tumeric*curcuma*, papaya,...)
Bath with sea salt or Epsom salt if its working well with your body can help and Hot-Cold alternate therapy in a spa might do you good to.
Hope this will help.
I'm french so you might notice some weird sentences :)
Good luck brother.

Notes: Have a pretty good deep thigh bruise that really hurt when I squatted so kept weight relatively light...
GH raises were only sets of 15 due to time issues but they were fast and easy...best they ever felt...
Oh, the lunges were 25lbs in each hand :)
Sick work Unit! Congrats on moving on to the sectional. One of us should make a spreadsheet showing all of the big dawgs, what sectional their in and how they did. Could be done in excel. Hmmm... something to think about.
Part 1:
A. 6x70kg, 6x80kg, 4x95kg, 4x100kg, 2x105kg, 1x110kg (failed 2nd)

B2. subbed stiff legged deadlifts with KB
Part 2:
179m, 179m, 178m, 174m, 171m, 170m, 172m, 170m.
Really think these intervals did me very good in oct/nov and hoping for the same now. But now I feel like shit.
Well, back to the olympics and more Swedish success in the cross-country skiing!
Good work y'all!
A1. 145x6/175x6/195x4/205x4/215x2/225x1 (so close for the 2!!)
B1. 35/35/40/40
B2. No GH machine... so did hamcurls (? thinks thats what they are called) on swiss ball - prob not the same but thought it was better than nothing and haven't done them in a long time.

3 hours later....
164m(damper 5),170m(d.6),169m(d.4),165m(d.3)
167m(d.3),172m(d.6),172m(d.7),174m(d.6)
Legs were cooked after Part 1. Posterior chain still needs lots of work. GH raises are improving by the workout but still have a ways to go.
Experimented with the damper settings. Definitely getting more power output out of keeping the setting around 6 or 7 vs 4. Part 2felt good.
Bought an AirDyne today! Not sure what to do with it... but I've got one... AND it was only $50 :D

(126.0)/199,(125.9)/193,(126.7)/197,(126.8)/201
Decided to really push the squats. left me pretty shattered for B1 and B2. Had a problem with GHD pad bottom plate edge digging into my quads during raises.
Still shakey 3 hours later for row - work on recovery. Very happy with Rows as these are much better than last time with similar protocol. Meters are final meters on C2 machine after rowing stopped at 30s -so some (5-10m ? rollout)
A: 225(6), 245(6), 255(4), 265(3), 275(2) 280(2)
B1: 30(9), 35(9), 35(7), 35(7)
B2: 20, 20, 15, 15
Notes:
A: Happy with these numbers today, I've always struggled with my squat so I really feel like I'm making progress. 225 was super easy for 6 as was 245. I ran out of gas on the 265 but it still felt light. 280 was too light to end on, probably should have done 290 or more.
B1: Sets 3 and 4 were much better tempo than the first two. Flexibility felt better with my left leg today.
B2: Had a GHD today, I think I did these right?
Hamstrings smoked overall.
Part 2 in a few hours.
Bubba: rollout a bit more I would say. For example my round with avg pace of 1:23.7 got me 179m
A. DNA
B1. 100' sled pull, backward, 180lbs. x 4; 90 sec rest
B2. 10 reps at tempo x 4; 90 sec rest
45 minute rest
194, 186, 182, 181m
184, 182, 177, 174m
Damper set to 10 for all rows. Hit a PR on max pace at 1:12/500m during the first interval. Leg discomfort during the 10 minute break was unmatched.
Part 1:
A. 242,262,308,308,328,333
B1. 45x9,50x9,55x9,60x9
B2. 20,20,17,15
Back foot on floor, knee out over toe for split squats.
Part 2:
172,172,170,166 (140 Drag Factor)
170,169,167,168 (125 Drag Factor)
Roch!
I definitely should have stopped training ,you are exactly right.
Been off my feet for most of the day resting up ,icing and chilling. Tonight is unavoidable running a CF box and 2 classes to teach along with an On Ramp class. I have a pair of Body Science Compression longs on and BSc shorts on top of that to keep swelling in check . I will be living in a double layer for a few days and yes,work on my upper body weakness. All good.
Appreciate the advice my friend.
part I
A1. 315 for 6's, 345 for 4's, 365 for 2's. Ass to grass

B:30# ea hand x7 all reps knee felt good
C: broken because couldn't get my setup working very good (oh i wish i had a GHD)realized just now that i should have done 4 sets only did 3 out of time anyways.
heading out to Toronto on the weekend and wondering if there are any recommendations on any CF gyms out there? preferable close to downtown
thanks

185/179/179/181
All distances are at 30 sec flat with no drag. Best avg/500m at 1:12. Rows felt good but damn my knee! Not sure how to go about this. Very frustrating.
Martin,
Yea, I think you are right. Rollout is probably more than 5-10m. I think I'll try it out tomorrow AM to see. There is also a strange lack of correlation between average 500m split (I logged average over the 30s ie not peak) and the distance traveled in the 30s row. My best distances were not my best splits - I thnk it has something to do with 1) efficiency of the start and 2) pace in the last few pulls affecting rollout.
A. 95/105 (6), 115/125 (4), 135/145 (2)
B1. 20/hand 7x4sets both legs
B2. 17*,20,20,20
*no idea how I did it but somehow repositioned my feet at rep 13 that made the raise feel near impossible. couldn't find how to correct it.
Body felt better during the WOD today than it has in a great while.
Thanks for all you do, Coach.

There's an interval setting on the C2 rower that allows for the effort/rest times to be entered.
Instead of just rowing, choose the "select workout option" and choose "interval time/time". You can then enter whatever work and rest phases you want.
It works well and stops the meter count as soon as the work phase is completed.
That way the whole "drag" component isn't an issue at all.
By the way, I didn't come close to gassing on any of these intervals, should I have set the damper to a higher setting than 7 to make the resistance harder? It felt like I was going at max effort but these intervals were way easier than the 18 seconds on Satan's Tricycle.
Part 2
1. 208m (row a 1:18 split for about 7 strokes)
2. 201m

B1. 9x50,50,60,60
B2. 20,16,15,15
Rest 6 hrs
Part 2:
172/167/170/169
166/170/165/169
Due to the screen not resetting I only have the distance for SEVEN rounds.
1247 was the sum of the 7, over 1400m was definately doable.
Great WOD, all the 1st 4 rows were @ damper 10 and the last 4 were @ damper 9. 9 felt better for stroke rate and the length of time rowing; damper 10 is probably ideal for 20 second intervals. Stroke rate in the low 50s; many short powerful strokes got it done.
Part 1
A. 95lbs, 115, 135, 135, 150, 150

152m 151m 150m 149m
Also played around with the damper settings on these and found that between 6 & 7 were my ideal settings.
Coordination still obviously hasnt improved as I almost fell off the rower once... I think I'm done for the day!
12.5 hr rest
184,180,182,166,184,180,180,
the low one I played with start and tried to use less strokes, that obviously didn't work.
No matter how hard and fast I pulled I couldn't get the rate under 1:19.
might move the next 4 wods to fri,sat,sun

Notes: PR on the Back Squat. Old 1RM was 260. Their is a HUGE difference between my right and left leg when I do split squats. Left leg is struggling to even stand while weight is laughably easy for right leg. Suggestions? GHR were done with hands at chest. Hamstring fried. Max pace hit on the row was 1:15 which is a PR.
If the Airdyne is Satan's tricycle, then is the C2 rowing Satan's scull?
Pete,
Thanks for the tip - I'll definitely use the interval timer next time.
BTW what tempo were you rowing at for the 30. I was a damper of 8 and tempo around 45strokes/minute

Every round I didn't make it to 166 my rower didn't pull and instead slamed into shins. This was very painful and happened numerous times. Anybody have any suggestions on why the rower isn't pulling and if so how do I fix this?
Adam Rogers,
I've decided to stick with the current programming for the remainder of this week and all of next week, then make the necessary adjustments in volume/intensity to taper into the Sectionals (I'm also competing at the Midwest on the 7th, along with a few other athletes at my gym following OPT). If you choose to follow this route, get in touch with me concerning that final week.
Either way, stay healthy and work hard for these last few weeks, and find me at the Sectionals. Should be easy - I'll likely be the only competitor with a massive beard.
Wes, that makes no sense. What the heck happened? Do you lose all tension in the flywheel?
@Wes.
During the pull did the rower actually give out on you? That happend to me once, but I fell off the back of the rower when it happened. Unfortuantely, that problem never happened again, but I was a little gun shy of pulling hard for a while after that.
38/6'2"/197

10 min rest
Rows Rnd 1: 181/180/178/174m
5 min rest
Rows Round 2: 175/176/175/173m
Notes: Brutally long workout. With work/family, this one was tough to fit in. Starting rows after the first WOD was suicide but I got through it. My back was on fire the last set of split squats and ghd raises.
The rower at the gym is broken, it was skipping on the chain causing loud pops. Didn't want to end up in the treadmills because of a broken chain so I backed off a little bit on the power strokes. Dropped the damper to 4 and was pulling at 46-50spm which is not my preferred settings by a long shot.
Done!
Part 1:
A. 264/284/308/318/328/333(1)
tempo on 4's and 2's was more like 20X2, needed the breath at the top
B1.45(9), 55(7), 55(6), 45(7) - these are very hard for me
B2. 15-10/5-10/5-9/6, held temp as long as I could and than X up for the remaining
I don't like back squats!

- 60 min later: apple w/ almond butter
- 2.5 hours later: chicken, kale w/ onions, mac nuts
Notes
- Squats felt good on my knee. I am a little disappointed with the loads, but happy that I was able to get really deep and still feel OK. I am going to need to build the strength back up for these, but was happy with the results considering I have an MRI in 2 days for my knee.
- 55# was a little ambitious. Legs were wobbly by rep 7 for each round. Last two rounds, I lost my balance with my right leg back once or twice on each set.
- Raises felt good in all sets for about 15 reps. After that, they began to get difficult and in the later rounds was all the lower back could take.
Rest = about 7 hours

- PWO: Shake (24g P: Jarrow Whey, 1 scoop Refuel)
- 60 min later: shrimp fra diavlo w/ spaghetti squash, mac nuts
Notes
- Done at home
- FootFlex at 4 on all rows.
- Felt good on all of these and never felt like I was gassing.
- Was able to get my pace down to 1:23/500m and hold it there for most of the rows
I really wanted my pace to come down b/c I wasn't winded/gassed or muscularly fatigued. Any suggestions based on my damper and strokes/minute numbers posted above? I feel like I have more in me, but that damn PM just isn't showing me the numbers I want to see.
Wes are you using a C2 rower? I'm pretty sure those guys are rock solid on their product so if anything is wrong they should fix it asap. That actually sounds pretty dangerous flying off the back of your rower like that...
Mizar the setting on the C rower isn't considered the resistance, it's more like the gears on your bike. In simple terms; I go with higher setting for short/powerful distances (today) vs lower settings for longer distances (~5 for 5K row).
Anyone falling off their rower should video themselves to see what's going on with your form or look at the foot stretcher setting. If it's set incorrectly you may push yourself off the seat.
Chris Fodera,
You're strong enough to give it a go at a higher damper, maybe even a 10. It may not be sustainable for anything over 30 seconds, but for this duration it should work. Experiment with it for about 10 all-out strokes sometime when you're relatively fresh.
Stephen,
Concentrate on maintaining a certain /500m pace or a certain # strokes/minute?

Notes: HBBS felt good on eccentric and focused on explosive concentric although it slowed as weight got heavier. GHR improving.
Forgot to put damper higher on 1st 2 rows and the scores reflect. Finally got in a rhythm in the 2nd group of 4. Happy to break 1400m total.
Brandon
Only 6 rows. Nearing the end of the 6th row ab muscle on right side started to tighten and by the time I was done the row I had muscle spasms!?!...Never happened before and still hurts now, but not nearly as bad as it was...
I really, really dislike not finishing!!!!
148, 147, 147, 144 (damper at 5 for first 4), 147 (6.5), 146 (7). Think next time doing something like this I will start with damper at around 7.
Sorry for the late post... I didn't have time to input this before my swing shift at work.

Had drag factor set to 110 (about 3.5) on the damper. Next time I want to try to up the damper to utalize my power more. I think I was pretty much maxing out the lower damper setting. My strokers per minute were way up there.
@ Geoff
that's a great analogy comparing the damper setting to gears on a bike. I wish I was smart enough to think of that!

By mistake I put 95 instead of 85 on the first BS which worked out just fine! :) Due to lack of time I cut down on the rest and one round on the B-part. Made two mistakes again on the rower. One was to try and row just a few minutes after Part 1 and I also took 4 min rest instead of 3 between rounds.

High Bar and tempo are new to me... completely different workout.
No access to GHD so I shoved my ankles under the treadmill, and did the raises there. Must've been a decent sub, cause my hammies were pissed. Doing 20 was a stretch, but I would just spot myself more.

I'll see your "Satan's Canoe" and raise you a "Satan's dinghy."
Part 2: 5.5hrs in between
Did the C2 interval by time thing, what an awesome idea to put into the machine. It sets up the entire workout for you - although it does stop your row exactly on 30 seconds so you dont get the extra meters from your pull momentum. But it does give you a total amount rowed at the end that shows the momentum.
153, 158, 160, 157 = 782m
