anyone else with knee issues contemplating an AirDyne sub for Part 2? If so, please share your thoughts.
I'm just contemplating where the hell I'm going to end up if I leave the OPT driveway and then turn around after the 5 minute walk!
Geoff,
Balzac.............
A. (in kg) 40x3, 50x3, 60x3, 70x3(PR), 72.5x3(PR), 1x75(PR)... became too PR-focused here and went directly to 77.5 with only 20 sec rest (adding weights) and failed. I felt quite worn out since I haven't trained much for the last 2 weeks so I stopped with the power-snatches here... plus my heels were aching. Any tips on that?
B: 110 kg (PR).
C: Did 3 sets with an improvised GHD-bench a'la Martin Altemark Style. The last set was horrible. I've never done this type of situps before so I stopped after 3 sets.
Won't be able to do part 2 due to not enough time :(
Hey correct me if I'm wrong, but the cluster is high hang, mid thigh and floor??
THanks.
No Mike, that's 3-position snatch. This is just a p. snatch 3 times with 10 sec in between. We did this twice with press a few months back, too.
Chris Fodera,
I'll be subbing on the Airdyne, as well. I have fairly accurate comparables for distance workouts, but with workouts like this that are based on intensity/effort, I'll just be going by feel.
Thanks Geoff, should have asked last night...
A. 3 position PSnatch- 65/85/95/105/115f on #3/110/117.5
B. 235- new PR by 15#
C. Total time with breaks 7:04- all ub, last set of 100 was 7:54
part 1
A. 145-155-160-165x4. Started too heavy. My Balzac trumped my common sense... Which incidentally was a problem for me in college too.
B. 225#
C. UNBx3-16/4-10/10
rested 2.5 hours
part 2:
runs felt pretty decent. Not pukie but still very challenging. Didn't tweak my hammy which has been a problem in the past with run sprints. I think I covered a couple kilometers when all said and done.
Hey Dawgs,
I'm competing in the PA/MD/DE sectionals this weekend and I'd some opinions/thoughts in terms of strategy for the WODs.
WOD 1 (Indoor)
As many reps as possible in 3 minutes of:
Floor-to-Overhead (155)
WOD 2 (Outdoor)
AMRAP 10 min of:
500m Run
then
1-Arm Overhead Kettlebell Squats (35lbs)
Note: "Nicole" style scoring, if you put the kettlebell down at any point you must run 200m, score is total squat reps
WOD 3 (Indoor)
AMRAP 20 min of.
Row 1000m (done once at the start of the heat)
Then:
20 Double-unders
15 Wall Balls (20/14lbs)
10 Ring Push-ups
5 Pull-ups
Unit, I know you had a basically the same WOD at your sectional, just a longer time domain. Did you drop from overhead or were you trying to string together as many unbroken as possible?
For WOD 2, you're allowed to switch hands as long as you don't touch your head or go below the shoulder, so I'm going to try and squat until my shoulders give out I want to minimize the runs as best as possible obviously.
WOD 3 is gonna be brutal, the row will be slow and easy, then shoot for unbroken sets as best as possible, just wanna survive this one!
Any insights here would be greatly appreciated, can't wait until Saturday to put this OPT training to the test and kick some ass!
-Josh
OPT @ 7AM
BW 176#
A. 95#
B. 213#
C. 3rnds only
Limited time today
Unplanned rest day.
Will do the interval runs tomorrow morning; no snatch or bench due to shoulder....really feeling it from chins and burpees yesterday.
a. 95,115,125,135,145 -
and then my $300 pendlay nex gen bar broke. the collar came right off and I was looking at 2 pieces of barbell. I'm beyond pissed right now.
b. 225
c. all sets unbroken.
part 2 in a couple hours.
@Josh
I would use these tactics if I were competeting in those 3 WOD's.
WOD 1#
Start out steady and accelerate halfway. Lot of guys will kill themselfe in the first 2 minutes of a WOD like this one.
WOD 2#
I would run on 80% and then find a controlled pace were I could get into a rhytm doing 10 squats and switch arm 10 aquats. etc.
WOD 3#
You can't win it on the rower but you can loose it. Row at 80-90% capacity and make sure to look pukie straight in the eyes for the rest of the WOD.
I think that's how I would approach them.
Good luck
FL sectional WODs.. what do you all think?
WOD 1
Every 2 minutes for 4 rounds of:
150m Sprint
5 Rolling Burpees (AKA "Man on Fire")
Max Rep Kettlebell Swings (M:70#, W:53#)
Score = Total Kettlebell Swings
WOD 2
3 Minutes Max Box Jump (24/20 inch)
1 Minute Rest
3 Minutes Pull-ups
1 Minute Rest
3 Minutes Thrusters (M:115#, W:83#)
Score = Total reps for all 3 exercises
WOD 3
In 10 Minutes:
1 RM Ground-to-Chest
1 RM Chest-to-Overhead
Score = 2 loads combined is total score
*May be 2 complete separate movements at different weights. May use rack for Chest to Overhead.
WOD 4
For time:
1500m Row
400m Sandbag Run (60/35lbs)
2000m Trail Run
Score = Total time
PSn - 119/124x6 sets. Did not feel powerful today.
+
CG BP - 216, 218.5(f)
+
GHD - unbroken (40-43 sec)
Due to some f$&@ push pressing a slab of concrete through my car window last night, may have do get the runs in tommorow. Time dependent. I would ship whoever did this to the town of Balzac if I caught them!

B: 235
C: Been having back pain for the last few weeks and the GHD seem to make it worse. Subbed regular sit ups
Part 2:
Felt good to run outside, real nice out. Pushed my limit but felt strong
First time in a while that I don't feel destroyed at the end of three days. Feel strong right now and want to get after another workout, I'll try to control that.

Part2-immediately after
Josh...
wod 1- what's ur snatch?... personally I'd probably snatch a few early on... then go in2 clean an jerk... most people at the Midwest did 60% of their reps in the first 2.5min of the 5min allotted including myself... since it's 'only' 3 min I'd try 2 string unbrokens in the beginning then go from there...
wod2- I'd prob switch arms every 5-10reps 2 avoid shoulder fatigue... this will occur if u switch both 2 little and 2 much so u need 2 find ur happy medium...
wod3- again... personally... I'd take my row time PR for 1K and row what feels relaxed and ez... prob adding 20ish sec 2 it... ie pr of 3:03 and prob try to hit 3:20-3:30 as ling as that pace felt ez... we had a similar setup at the Midwest where we started with a 5min row... this was used as a good fluid 'warm up'... quick but not taxing as the time domain of the total wad was 15min... go with how u feel at that time and take long fluid strokes and get ready 2 go unbroken and continuous 4 the remainder of the WOD!...
covino... I really like some of those wods!... go kick some @$$!...

C. Did 1 set and quit 'er, I know when I'm licked. Night shift kicked my butt today.
Pt 2.
This was much better, it's such a great way to get myself into the running mode. There is nothing else that gets my hammies jacked like sprinting. Nuh-thang.

Attached is a video of my snatch (ha ha) James suggested i post it to get some help - yes i suck!! I screwed up when i edited it the first 3 are at 90 the second are at 85. I did them in the right order just edited it wrong. 90 is my 1RM and i can't seem to get past this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Unit and anyone else qualified for the Rocky Mountain Regionals will be a 3 day event from Apr 30 - Mar 2. That's just a hair over 1 months from my sectionals next week. If I qualify, it's going to be a busy month.
A - 75/85/95/95/95/95/100
didn't want to go up in weight untill the 95 felt awesome.
B- 155
missed the sit-ups due to time.
ran at lunch outside, which was nice... but find it hard to gauge my %effort when I am not on a track - so good practice.
Does anyone know why Josh Everett didn't compete in the last WOD at the Arnold classic? I wonder if he got hurt or something because he did well on WODs 1-3.
This is basically my first post here so an intro is probably in order. I'm 51 as of Tuesday and I'm registered for the Masters Division in Castle Rock May 1st. Been crossfitting for about a year at Tri-Cities CF in St Charles IL. Will keep up with what you post and sometimes sub for our CFSB workouts at the box.
For today I did the interval set on the treadmill. Covered and even 5.0k

Doing the early marcher wods. Everything is going well and looking forward to the sectionals on the 20th in Fredericton. I will drop a line before then.

Jeff,
Welcome to the Big Dawgs
taking an unscheduled day off because the right knee just isn't feeling right today. Surgery is in a little over a week, so I don't want to chance anything.
On a brighter note, renewed my passport today at the Post Office in hopes of making it to Calgary to train with some of you guys and attend a CCP module.

Did a really good warm-up today, definitely needed, was feeling exhausted by the end of work. Got into it though and found my groove. Switched to split snatch after failing a 43 kg (not sure if this is a legit power snatch, but these fell sooo much more natural for me).
Running felt much much better than last time...actually had some bounce in my step. Could fell myself ripping my feet of the ground instead of dragging them along.
Good luck to all the dawgs competing this weekend!!!!!

Feb 25 (Early Marcher WOD):
A (BSquat - 3,3,2,2,1,1): 90/110/120/130/140/150kg (330#) - Felt heavy after the 3 second negatives. Not a PR but close.
B (PClean - 2,2,2,2,2): 100/107.5/112.5/112.5/115kgx1 (253#)
Post: 2 sets of 15 GHD and GHD raises.
Notes: Back squats felt heavy tonight but I'm glad I pulled the 150. Upped my power clean weights by 2.5kg just to mix it up a bit. My last PR for power clean was 110kg in July '09.
Unit-
Ha, my snatch is 155, so I'm going c&j right from go. I'm gonna try and string as many together as possible, then maintain from there.
WOD 2 ur definitely on point with that, switch hands short of failure and go back and forth until the shoulders give out.
WOD 3 cruise control for the row, then all thats gonna be on my mind is 'unbroken' and all those gut check workouts from coach leading up to this weekend
thanks for your advice!
Forgot part B 130 PR
Took the opportunity to do a wod at crossfitai after work (thanks for lighting the fire geoff :)
4 rounds
50% 1RM front squat thrusters
pullups
burpees
KBS 1 pood
45 sec at each station then 1 min rest between rounds so kind of FGB like wod
total reps 202
unbroken kept going through my head the whole time. Great wod low back is smoked right now rest day is going to feel awesome
PS no knees on burpees!!!
Part 1
A. 40kg, 50, 60, 64, 66, 70 (pressout on rep 2, F on rep 3), 70 (F1, ugly form)

C. 41s for 1st set, 42s for 2nd set. Scaled since I'm still building up to that kind of volume on GHD.
Couldn't do Part 2, may try to fit it in tomorrow.
Really restricted for time today, so the workout was not as written.
Part 1
A. 145/150/150/155/155/160/160
Knew I was not going to have enough time so I started supersetting snatch with bench press and reducing the rest. Due to the reduced rest and warm-up my later sets were much better.
B. 135/185/205/225/235/245/250
Had to work up pretty quick.
C. No time.
Part 2 - Felt like I was not recovering very well in these intervals, although my speed was pretty good???? Just glad to get them done as I had to do these in the dark after a long day of coaching.

Good day though as some self reflection made me realize I needed a reality check, I was more stressed out that I wasn't going to be able to get the double in today, then I was with more important family matters...not good. Running tommorow won't make me any less fit then if I ran today.

Hey Pack,
Just wanted to let everyone know that I am getting ready to go into my sectional tomorrow morning. I know I have not been following the programming the last week, but that is becasue I followed some programming written up by CrossFit Portland based specifically for the OR/ID sectionals. I will post updates as I can this weekend, and will be back on training and posting everyday after this weekend. Thank you OPT for all the ptogramming. I feel like it has prepared me well!
Good luck everyone competing this weekend.
As for those coming to Canada Central sectionals in a few weeks, I've placed some calls to see if I can can some discounted room rates at the downtown Westin. So I was just wondering if there was anybody needing a room, so I could block a few rooms for the better rate.
Link is attached below.

Good luck to everyone competing. Anyone coming from afar to Stockholm for the sectionals next weekend?
Good luck Marie and all other Dawgs competing this weekend!!!!
Good luck this weekend to all the OPT competitors. Put your training work and get uncomfortable out there. Then come back and get "hungry, horny and happy".
A. 135, 155, 155, 155, 165, 165
B. 190 (although I think I had too narrow a grip)
C No GHD, used an incline bench. 3 unbroken ?
Can somebody clarify "unbroken" does it mean "NO" pause at the end of a rep? If that's the case. probably did only 2 sets unbroken.
Jeff welcome to the blog.
Depending on the context unbroken usually means no pause. The last time unbroken was mentioned was Wednesday's unbroken CTB chin-ups and that was to to pre-empt various interpretations on unbroken chin-ips. To some it means continuous movement (OPT's intention in this case) & to others it means that as long as you are hanging & not touching the ground your reps still count. In general... take it at face value - it shold be self-evident. For other questions check out the FAQ section. Where the heck is Castle Rock?
Part1.
A. pulled neck warming up for snatchs so I skipped part A
B. 205
C. 20 x 5
Did part 1 March 11 am and had to do part 2 March 12 am.
Part2. Runs felt good other then knee becoming sore by the end
neighbour's smoke detector went off at 4am last night for about 15 minutes...couldn't sleep for a long while after that...woke up feeling wrecked, still feel that way...got papers due also...will take today off...
did part A and B at work, couldnt ditch weight so went up to 135 for snatch and statyed there, bench made it to 275 but sure had to fight for it!
