Paul Klein/Stephen Flamm,
ReplyDeleteSaw 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

Adam,
ReplyDeleteI 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.

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.

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:
ReplyDeleteRun 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?

Hi BK,
ReplyDeleteI'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.

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.

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.

ReplyDeleteI 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.

Martin,
ReplyDeleteYea, 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.

There's an interval setting on the C2 rower that allows for the effort/rest times to be entered.
ReplyDeleteInstead 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.

Due to the screen not resetting I only have the distance for SEVEN rounds.
ReplyDelete1247 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.

ReplyDelete184,180,182,166,184,180,180,
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.

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?

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,
ReplyDeleteI'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?
ReplyDelete@Wes.
ReplyDeleteDuring 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.

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!

- 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.

- 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...
ReplyDeleteMizar 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).
ReplyDeleteAnyone 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,
ReplyDeleteYou'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,
ReplyDeleteConcentrate on maintaining a certain /500m pace or a certain # strokes/minute?

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...

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.

ReplyDeletethat's a great analogy comparing the damper setting to gears on a bike. I wish I was smart enough to think of that!

ReplyDeleteI'll see your "Satan's Canoe" and raise you a "Satan's dinghy."
Part 2: 5.5hrs in between
ReplyDeleteDid 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
158, 157, 161, 155 = 792m
Total = 1574
Tough to get used to that much rest in between....but I'll take it where I can get it this week!
