This should be Tuesday April 6 right? Or did I miss today's?

Roch said...

Usually monday is rest day. I think its theusday (today)'s training.

Rory Hanlin said...

No HR monitor, timed 200's instead:

1st set: 33, 29, 29, 29
2nd set: 28, 29, 32

Rested a bit then did two sets of tabata mash:
Push Up
GHDSU
Squat
KBS 2pood

worked on speed and good technique

Was miserable and got sick during rest. Hoping for some of three H's instead now when going back.

200m sprints: 31, 31, 31, 31, 31, 33, 32

No HRM. Think I found 90% gear despite no running at all since Oct (felt that in my hip!). Might have been too hard anyways considering sick during weekend. Hopefully I'll wake up feeling good tomorrow.

early May

Snatch/Row:
2:43
2:53
2:59
2:51

load on the bar set at 85#. May have been a few pounds light. Pressed a few out, as I got tired I focused on catching w/ arms locked. Row splits were in the 1:35-1:40 per 500 range.

PLU/DU:
2:25
2:21
2:22
2:29

tore up my hands pretty badly on the snatches, WTF. Minor surgery with a pocket knife and some tape in the 10 min rest, good to go. All PLU unbroken, DU's broken into sets of 15-60.

rest 1 hour, then a 6k row on the water.

Stephen Flamm said...

Early May:

1RM = 160
60% = 95
50% = 80

Failed on rep 11 in the 6th, 7th, and 8th set of the power snatches. All chin-ups in part 2 were unbroken and butterfly, but required about :20-:30 rest after the double-unders. DUs broken into sets of 5-35. Grip was fatigued after Sunday's swings, and is now destroyed.

Unknown said...

Early May:
Snatch at 115# & 95#
Had to run instead of row
Only did 2 rounds of part 2, felt horrible, underfed, shut it down

Heavy Evy said...

Getting back to it tonight. Starting to get cabin fever from not training! I didn't look at the blog for a week, to resist the urge of jumping back to early. It is a bit late, but wanted to say how cool it was to meet so many of the dawgs last weekend. Was my first event and was blown away by the support you get from fellow competitors, it sure beats getting high sticked in hockey, or intentionally hit by a pitch in ball!

There are too many moments to single out from that weekend, but the biggest thing that I came away with, was one of the "3 H's", hunger. I'm not moving on to regionals, but now I have an idea of what I need to improve on, every rep counts.....unless your not making ROM! Never would have thought the COVP pu's would be the movement to cripple me in the "cnd crippler"!

Good Luck to everyone moving on!

Evan

Oh and it goes with out saying thankyou OPT for the awesome program to follow.

Melissa said...

Late May.

Great to have coach BK back and more inspired than ever!

200M Sprints: 38, 37, 38, 39

During the second round BK encouraged me to not try to keep up with the guys but just match foot speed for quicker turnover.

200M: 40, 38, 37 - the last one was the easiest of all. Finally felt like it took less effort to go faster.

Melisa C said...

Late May:

80% - 48, 47, 46, 45
90% - 45, 47(traffic slowed me up), 46

Notes: Did this on lunch break, didn't take the 10m rest due to lack of time.

Melisa C said...

Oops, see now they were both supposed to be @ 90%. My bad.

38/6'2"/198 - Early May

PS/Row/PS: 60%(115#) 50%(95#)
3:22
3:45
3:53
3:46

10 min rest

PU/DU/PU
2:29
2:13
3:20
2:02 - Had to get back to work, went to jumping with no 2 min break going into last round.

Part I: Backed down from my max snatch about 7.5kg because of strange pain from pp workout. Goal after round 1 was to stay under 4 minutes. All rows were 1:38-1:40 pace.

Part II: Not much to say really other than this was a battle.

This workout was not for the feint hearted. Of all the OPT workouts to date, this one I believe caused me to shed the most blood. I'm a mess AND I finished the bugger! Tending my wounds and back to work...

Chad Hall said...

Late May

Seconds/HR (palpated)

1. 32/150
2. 31/174
3. 32/168
4. 33/168

5. 33/162
6. 34/168
7. 33/168

Ran on 1/2 the dirt high school track. Felt pretty good. I feel confident that they were all at 90%, still had some gas left, but not much.

jhk said...

Part 1.
No idea what 1RM is so guessed at %'s.
60% @ 90#/50% @ 75#
All Rows around 50 seconds
Set 1-3:37 Straight through for all
Set 2-4:14 8/7-row-10/5
Set 3-4:41 8/4/3-row-10/5
Set4 -4:22 8/7-row-8/7
Pretty tough, might have guessed wrong on loads. But good to work on snatches.
Part 2.
Set 1-1:57 15/75/8,7
Set 2-2:02 15/75/15
Set 3-2:16 15/50,25/15
Set 4-2:16 15/50,25/15
First set forgot they were supposed to be unbroken and just jumped right back on the bar. Other sets 10 to 15 sec break after DU.
Both work outs gassed me pretty good, but really enjoyed them.
What's next?

joey warren said...

Early May: Holy grip killer!

Wes hendricks said...

Oh man early may looked like a lot of fun today!

23/149(yes I am moving on up)
Late may:

1st set: 36/180-35/180-34/172-34/168
2nd set: 34/168-35/172-34/180

I took HR for ten seconds then multiplied by six, not sure how accurate it is. Runs felt good. My hamstrings are incredibly tight from sundays speed DL's and GHD raises.

Yelvi said...

1st Set: 28/28/30/29
2nd Set: 27/28/27

Felt good. Forgot to take HR. Lower legs felt a little tired today due to a pretty good pool workout with fins yesterday.

Dr Lisa said...

All runs were around 39 - 40 seconds didn't do HR. Calf and knee felt good until last 200m then tightened up a bit but overall good.

false grip and HSPU work afterwards

Part 1 felt pretty good today but Part 2 was a real different story. The unbroken chin ups freakin killed me! Forearms were ready to explode. 2 min rest b/t sets just wasn't enough time for me to recover. Higher times in rounds 2,3 and 4 were a result of longer rest periods (approx. 3 min) b/t sets so nearly 1 min elapsed before i even started round.

This was one of the harder workouts I can remember!

First time working with HRM. Interesting to see the numbers.
New bodyweight of 180. Up 15# from early fall. Defintely feeling the extra mass but its getting better quickly.

Was awkward at first finding 90% as this was my first percentage run, but pretty happy I was able to stay consistent. Didnt have a HR monitor though

Aly Jansen said...

First day back and it felt soooo good.
All runs done between 33 and 35 seconds.
Totally forgot about the HR.
Whoops :o)

Glad to be back.

Wes, go drink a bunch of water just to clear 150... it'll make me feel better when you keep crushing me at the strength movements with 20 less pounds.

The weekend at OPT was beyond description, such great energy being around positive striving coaches.
Great AHA moment looking at the wod today and the enrgy system involved and knowing what I am supposed to be feeling in this Anaerobic Lactic Power session.

Early May--had to cut both parts to 3 sets each due to time constraints.
Part 1: 3:03, 3:43, 4:09. Power snatches got rough and grip was gone after first round. Used 90lbs for 60% and 75lbs for 50%.
Part 2: 3:55, 3:27, 3:53. DU rhythm was hit or miss.

Been doing main site WODS for a while now, about a year. But I want to go to sectionals next year so I'm jumping on here!
First set: 40, 43, 42, 43
Second set: 43, 44, 45
Didn't do HR. I'm not too sure if I was at 90%...hoping to get better at feeling that.

Early may:
My body wasn´t with me today. Sore throat.

i did 4 rounds of part 1, only 2 of part 1.

Sorry, no timing..
My son is sick and I guess I will be laying in bed tomorrow:(

Pete M said...

Got up to about 95% on the 30m sprints, felt good.

29/160, 29/160, 29/150, 28, 160
5 min rest
28/150, 27/160, 28, 160

May have gone a little over 90%, but the recovery was good and felt fresh for each run.

The battery in my heart rate monitor died so I just timed the runs. Legs started feeling a bit "funny" in the third run and stayed that way through out. I am still trying to figure how 70%,80% and 90% feels.

Jami said...

Early May:

Part I

60%1RM used 40kg
50%1RM used 35kg

2.36/4.36/?/DNF

Had to break down 2nd snatch from 2nd set onwards. Shut down on last set as lower back was starting to give referred pain to my thigh. Felt disappointed on this one as only reason stopping me was low back pain.

Part II

3.06/3.11/3.40/2.54, all CU unbroken

Notes: Still having some achilles tendon issues so had to sub box steps (40) for DUs on rounds 2 and 4. Starting to feel strong on chin-ups.

All in all, a very tough day and brought up my two re-current injuries. Will give my calf few weeks of rest from skipping and running now, I think and focus on icing and re-hab.

My heart rate monitor has been off lately so I'm not sure if these readings are accurate or not. I was in Miami for work so I did these on hard packed sand on the beach. Doing sprints under the beaming sun took the HR rate up a few beats I think. I haven't been in that kind of heat since last summer.

Geoff 52yom/5'11"/215# said...

First time posting. Did late May yesterday. Guesstimated 200m, looking at my times probably a little short. Forgot to take HR. I guess you could say I forgot these were 90% runs
32.2, 29.7, 30.2, 30.1
30.5, 29.8, 30.5
Self-timed, so I 'm sure there is some error there.
Thanks for the workouts.

Jeremy said...

Been doing opt for a couple of weeks now, first time posting. A few days behind. Need a new HR monitor battery - a lot of my laps were inaccurately posting at 200+ bpm.
32.53, 32.42, 31.88, 30.96
33.28, 31.29, 31.61

tried really hard to beat 30 but it didn't happen.

backing up a week. so did this today 4/13

60% = 63 did 65
50%=52 did 55

finish time was 16: something. unbroken
form was bad. bent arms too early

Chris Dunkin said...

Early May:

1:23,1:54,2:29,1:42

ext rot: 30lb 3x10
powell raise: 20lb 3x12

stupid to warm up with the snatch balance. first two sets unbroken and then the wheels came off; i used straps and finished with broken sets 8/7,6/4/5
Du's got all fouled up on round three then got it back for round 4. ran on empty today
