Hi guys- I'm new on OPT. Just saying hello.
Can't wait for this WOD
Coach,
Are this weeks WOD's working towards a March 20/21st taper? Or are we back to regularly scheduled programming? I just want to make sure I'm not missing out on the fun. Thanks
Hey Big Dawgs Community and Coach,
FIrst off I have been following the site for about 2 months now. First time posting on here but I feel the need to thank Coach for all the work he puts in and the great advice that he offers. It helped me prepare for and execute during this past weekends Oregon/Idaho Sectional. Without this training I don't know how I would have finished. This training definitely put me where I needed to be and gave me tremendous results. It was awesome to meet and compete with some of the other big dawgs, Chris Dunkin, Bmizzle, didn't get a chance to meet but saw Marie compete. It was great to see all of them place high in the end. So thanks Again Coach for all you do and your great programming and thanks to the community and good luck to those competing in the upcoming sectionals and regionals.
Still following the early marcher wods in prep for this coming weekend. Just wanted to celebrate my new strict Press Pr with ya`ll :

So stupid, just did reg strict CU's and thought that was too easy. Didn't think that they were weighted. Duh!
Might re-do CU's later with weight.
Hip flexors VERY tight, squats felt harder than they should. Should have been able to do 215/220.
I took a couple days off to stretch, roll and ice and my legs have been revived.

Go kill it this weekend LuLu, Marie and Becky just showed us how well coach has prepared us!! Kick some serious little Dawg ass. Look forward to meeting you at regionals! Oh and if you need a place to stay i have lots of room and live about 15 minutes from regional location and would love to put you up.
Lulu, are you doing the ON or Canada East sectionals?
And congrats on the PR#, triple digits baby!!
Canada East has been announced, anyone know what ON wods are yet?
mack lar, this weeks wods are for later peak in march - like 27th/28th...
James -
I'm going to rest like you suggested. It's going to be hard! But I suppose that's the role of coach and athlete.
Are easy training sessions allowed for recovery? Maybe some easy running/rowing with mobility work and maybe empty bar olift stuff?
I intend on doing a lot of SMR and stretching too.
Good luck to everyone competing this weekend!!!
Go Dawgs!!!

Squats were low bar, which I have not done for a while. Felt a bit rusty but strong.
Pullups were pronated grip, chest to bar.
Back home and settling in to my regular routine again, minus daily WOD's of course.
The OR/ID Sectionals lived up to my expectations and then more. I felt very well prepared for the competition, and I am extremely thankful for all the OPT programming that got me there and the support and community on this blog. It was great to meet Bmizzle, Chris Dunkin, and Becky.
The first day went really well for me. I was in the 7th heat (2nd to last heat) for both WODs in the first day. It was nerve wracking to have to wait around for my heat to come. I did enjoy getting to watch and cheer on all my teammates from CF Portland and other fellow OPT Pack members. It took my mind of my heat coming up.
The first WOD went really well. I was given the excellent advice to not go out to hard and burn out half way through. Many women competitors struggled with the rope climbs after the first 2 rounds or so. "This is the difference between a 400m sprint and a 800m run." That clicked really well in my head and I was able to keep a good pace, but to not get to worked up and out of breath. I had top notch coaching from Rochelle at CF Portland throughout the WOD and it made a huge difference. She really helped me stay on pace and not rush.
Second WOD went alright. I was quite nervous about the ring dips. Again I had Rochelle to look to on the sideline and she helped me pace out ever single rep in the dip. I was doing them in doubles by the end, and it felt like I was going so slow, but in reality it wasn't that bad of a time. I know if it weren't for the pacing I would have burned out on the ring dips really quickly. Again, like the rope climb I noticed that many of the female competitors went out hard and fast to failure in the ring dips at first and then couldn't finish the WOD in the time cap becasue they couldn't do anymore ring dips. The pacing on the dips was perhaps one of the best things that happened to me this weekend.
For recovery I took and ice bath Saturday night. I didn't get as much sleep as I would have liked to.
I was in first place at the end of the first day, but I lost it in the last WOD on Sunday morning. I think I went out too hard at the beginning of the third WOD. I got to the burpees and they just crushed me. My body felt extremely heavy and my tank felt empty. In hindsight I wish i had pushed harder on the burpees, I probably could have.
I took 2nd overall and had a blast doing it. It was fun being successful, but even better was the atmosphere and the great people I got to be around and watch preform. I am excited for regionals in two months!
Yesterday I had the day off of work so I made the short drive to the coast and took a super easy recovery swim in the ocean for a bit. It felt really good to move my body through it's range of motion without having to bare weight. This is the first time I have tried a recovery swim and I really liked it. It was another Rochelle recommendation. I rolled out on my foam roller too yesterday.
I am still very sore in the quads, and triceps. My upper back is mildly sore, but not anything like my tris and quads. I will be resting this week and doing lots of rolling out and such.
Thank you to everyone who helped me and supported me along the way. I have received so much excellent coaching, programming, and support from the OPT and all the Big Dawgs as well as the coaches and crew at CF Portland. Thank you everyone.
I am enjoying my rest and am looking forward to some more good training in a week or so.
Good luck Lulu and all other Big Dawgs competing this upcoming weekend!
@ OPT @ 7AM
A 195/205/215/220f/220f
I have got to force myself to get extra squat depth on PCs while I am building thru light weights because when it gets heavy I am not going deep enough
B1. BS high bar 198x3/242x3/284x3(more depth on 3/284x2(f@3)
B2. CU 55x2pro/75x2pro/88x1pro(more depth)/88x1sup(lots of height)/101.5(lots of height)
Pete. Get comfy with the rhythum of ring CTB & you'll have an advantage. Practice Burps-BJ's because nobody will be comfortable with these & efficiency will be key
PTS. PC looks like you have room to spare. 250 in no time. Sorry but your 95# CU was a no go. Chin over bar. Not at bar. Try supinate & see if you prefer for weight. Worked for me today.
A. 205, 225, 240, 250, 260 (PR by 5lb)
B1. 255x3, 275x3, 290x2, 290x2
B2. 85, 95, 110, 125(PR)
Opt,
I heard about your Blog from a competitor at the AL,TN,MS Who spoke very highly of your programming. I qualified for regionals in late May and wanted to start following your WODS, but I saw where you posted that this weeks WODs are for peaking in late March. Should I be doing the workouts right now? Any advice would be great.
A. 190, 205, 215, 225, 230 (PR)
B1. subbed box squats, 3 @ 32X0; 95, 95, 95, 95
B2. 70, 70, 79, 79
I've been sick for a couple days, so I was pleasantly surprised by the PC PR. Went with light box squats to start working the movement back into rotation - these didn't bother the knee at all. Chins were harder than expected.
I had nothing in the tank today for some reason just sluggish and very very frustrated with my clean and snatch technique issues. I have been video taping myself and as per what deejay said my stupid arms are doing all the work - which isn't much!!! i should have been working on this a long time ago i now realize and am totally pissed at myself.
went up to 145 and failed twice why can't i be more patient??
back squats felt like crap and i felt very weak went to 175 and pulled the pin. I need to regroup and get my head in the damn game.
seeing those muscle ups in the eastern qualifiers depressed me as well. Hmmmm better day tomorrow.
23/145
A. 205-210-215(PR)-220(PR)-225X

B1. 176,191,198,218x2
B2. 22.5,27.5,35,45
the PC attempt at 208 was doable, I need more speed under the bar
squats felt hard.
My weighted chin ups have been so off due to my shoulder in the past 4 months, I didn't know what weight to use.
A. 135, 145, 155, 165, 170(f)
B1. 185, 195, 205, 215 x 3
B2. 22.5, 25, 30, 30
Felt really good this morning - thought the time change on the weekend would make this morning seem super earley, but wasn't too bad.
Great job last weekend dawgs and thanks Marie for sharing your experience!! you did great!
A- 205,215,230,240(f),235(f)
B- 245,260,275,290(3)(pr)
B2-70,85,100,110(pr)
230 was easy with power clean but my brain shut off at that point and wouldnt let me get under 235 or 240, weird. 240 is my pr.
My squat felt very strong and same with supinated pullup, both pr's.
Just back from Sectionals 33 out of 160. Great weekend had by all. Since I PR'd in the Powerclean this weekend 270 lbs I did my own thing today.
A.Box Squats@32X2;10 sets of 2;60s Rest. 155 used. Went light first time box squatting to almost 2 inches below parallel.

- PWO: 40gP/30gC (Shake: MRM Metabolic Whey, ReFuel), 8g BCAA+G
- 60 min later: grass-fed beef, eggplant, apple, almond butter
Notes
- Power Cleans felt good, but was 10# off PR. Still OK with it since I have been avoiding leg work for some time due to my knee
- Squats felt good on knee and were deep.
- Started light in squats because I wanted to be careful w/ right knee. They felt good, so kept moving up.
- Jump on last Chin Up was too much. I think I would have got 125#, but 135 was a little too much for me. I made it to my nose breaking the horizontal plane and stayed there for a couple seconds before I started sinking down.
A - 221-231-231-236-241(f). Felt slow today.
B1. 263-273-287-297(2)

C. 29 (pron)-34-(sup)-36.5 (pron)-41.5 kg, pb! (sup)-41.5 kg,fail (pron)
A lot of minor faults, a few too many sets, too fast excentric movement in BS and I also thought i lifted both lighter and hevier than I actually dig. Poor technique on my BS so I decided not too do more than 120 kg.

3 sets of reverse hypers @ 30 kg for cool down
Got my OPT "unbroken" shirt in the mail today, it came with a label saying: guaranteed to improve your power clean by 5 pounds. I am happy to report that it did! Squats felt great today, first time really feeling confident in the hole with serious weight. Finishing off with the reverse hypers felt great.
Finally back after a solid 5 days off with a touch of bronchitis. Feel about 90%, hopefully 100% by this weekend for the Ontario sectionals.
Did March 2 today.
A1: 155(3), 165(2), 175(F) - Presses
A2: unbroken C2B pullups x 15
Run felt pretty good afterward and then 30minutes of mobility work.
Getting really excited seeing all the workouts coming up for this weekend! Ontario's are released Thursday.
38/6'2"/196
Modified the Mar 2nd (early march WOD) to accomodate WOD 1 practice this weekend.
A1 (Press 3,2,1): 60/70/75kg (165#)
A2 (7 C2B): 7/7/7
A3 (KBS 1/1.5/2pd): 7/7/7
A4 (Body Squat w/bar): 7/7/7
+
First half of WOD #1 at a trial game pace:
500m Row: 1:38 (<1:40 pace)
21 2pd KBS: 55
400m Run: 1:42
500m Row: 1:55 (hold 1:45)
10 2pd KBS: 37
Time: 6:47 (1/2 cutoff mark)
Notes: So... WOD 1 is tough indeed. KBS after a row is kind of nasty and the run isn't much better. Use size and breathing on the rows & kb swings and hang on during the runs. It's a grinder for sure. Round 1, not a problem, but the goal for round 2 is hit all KBS unbroken without missing reps. Tomorrow I'm going to work on WOD #2 skills.
All of the competition stories are inspiring. Great job everyone. And Martin!!! Dude, you PR'd all of your lifts today. Awesome work you beast!
A: got up to 130#
B1: 150, big crash and burn on 155 (not at tempo)
B2: 35# for doubles; 47.5 for single--still could have done a bit more
Power Clean- 225 (20lb PR with more in tank)
Squat- 245 (still working on form)
Chin up- 110 (120 fail by a couple inches)
A. 195/205/215/225/235(f)
B1. 275/315/335/355(2)
B2. 53/53/63/63
Notes: PCs felt good until 235. Should have done 230. Squats easy at tempo until last rep of last set. Pullups felt really heavy today - hands are torn up so I'm sure some of it is mental.

B2. 75x2,75x2,105f,100(maybe)give myself an fail.
Notes: Tempo was good for squats, and I tryed low bar for the first time, felt a weird pinching feeling in my lower abdominum, and it kind of scared me, so I didn't push the weights up like I wanted too.
Thanks guys,
It was a Fun weekend and it was great meeting you Nathan and Justin!
I know I don't comment much here but I always keep track of how you big dawgs are doing and use you for inspiration. Keep on kicking ass, and hopefully I'll meet up with a few more of you at regionals.
And as always, thanks again Coach!

B1. 185/225/245/265 all x3 reps

Notes: PC felt really good had more in tank..
My squats have been way off for awhile...my numbers today are 30lbs off 3RM...notice strength decrease in FSQ also not sure why
CU - was oh so close on both 110lb attempts...110lb is my PR so was hoping to hit that number or surpass it...
Couldn't fit both 'a' and 'B' into the time i had this afternoon so did 'A' in afternoon and 'B' in the evening.
A. worked up to 141(PR). Failed it a couple of times before I got it. But when I finally got it it went up easy. Tried 143 and just about had it, but lost it in the rack. Thanks Leigh, for the help.
B1. 165x3/171.5x2/181.5x2/186.5x2...all at tempo.
B2. 2x30/2x40/1x45/1x51.25/had to keep going...1x55(PR).
Muscle snatch -- max for day - 145lbs
Power snatch - 80% x 1 x 4 - 145lbs
Power clean & power jerk - 80% x 1 x 4 - 200lbs
Overhead squat - 85% x 1; 70% x 2 x 2 - 195 x 1, 160 x 2 x 2
Skipped the OPT WOD cause it was strength-based and I'm out of the running for Regionals... so, just doing OPT met-cons.
"Helen"
8:54 (pr). Shaved 1:14 off my previous 3 attempts... none of which broke 10:00 minutes... stoked that I broke 9:00 minutes, but now that I've done it - I wonder why I didn't break 9:00 earlier.
Sam... OPT Stalker Alert!

let my ego get the better of me today...decided I was too close to a PR on the clean to give up...so I attempted 225# about a dozen more times, but made them squat cleans...caught the weight well(at one point even power-cleaned it but was in squat clean mode, so I still dropped down and then lost it on way up) but fatigue lead to more and more mistakes until I shut 'er down...the rest of the workout obviously suffered as a result...won't let today's silliness happen again
B1. 235(3)/255(2)/265(f)/225(3)
B2. 85(2)/95(2)/105(f)/115(sup)
