James,
ReplyDeleteI had really been looking forward to following your programming from now thru the NE Regional's. If I had no idea what to expect, then yours is the plan I'd definitely be following.
But I'm doing the Masters, and the WOD's have now been announced. I'm no longer preparing for the unknown or the unknowable.
My question is this: What should I do to prepare for the three defined WOD's. The idea of specializing breaks my heart. But, clearly (to me, unless you explain otherwise) it makes the most sense for me to maximize my performance at the Regionals.
So, should I and other Masters competitors concentrate nearly exclusively on the skills needed for the Regional Masters WOD's, or should we continue to follow a more general programming plan?
(Thanks for all you've done for me and the rest of our CFNYC Black Box competitors.)
late May:
ReplyDeleteA. 410. all deadlifts have felt super heavy lately. I dropped a few pounds since sectionals so I'm hoping that has something to do with it.

- Learned from last weekend and didn't spend too much time or overdo the weight on the deadlifts
- Wrists soreness has been an issue on the catch for the cleans. Had to back on on set 5 but decided not to let myself get intimidated by the weight and got 192 back up again on set 6.
-I've come a long way on the GH raises. These felt awsome today!
Considering I did the pistol WOD yesterday, today was a very good workout!

B2. 21-17-17-15-15-18(?) Felt way better than last week better muscle endurance.
C.All unbroken felt good stronger than last week.
(Didn't warm-up enough for the clean I think, I started right after the D.L. without triggering my neuro-muscular pattern for a better form and I felt it throughout the heavier reps).
Coach I would like to know your opinion on getting a deep tissue massage during your programming?
I had one Thursday after the workout and felt very heavy Du to all toxins release in the system + I felt like my muscle where weaker specially on the catch for cleans. (Its tricky to play on the edge of muscle release vs keeping muscular positioning because on the other side my ring dips where better and GH Raise felt easier...)
Sorry my English writing is not the best.
Thanks
For the Power cleans my reps where 3 reps for all exept 250lbs for (1).

CONSISTANTly slower ha
legs felt like they were running in sand. i only waited 2 hours after eating lunch to start this wod, that didnt help matters, only ran 1- 200m run in warmup with some plyo's. good learning experience on what NOT to do before running 5- 1k repeats
my wife and I hosted a workout in the park, so I did not do the 1k runs. We did 3 rds for time 400m run, 21 SDLHP 70lbs KB, 12 burpees. my time was 9:02

how are you other dawgs feeling these days? i am eager to train but during my wods i feel like i'm going through the motions. my progress feels a little stagnant. not sure if it's frustration over a nagging injury or if i am getting a bit overtrained. think i might back off a bit til tuesday... just wondering if anyone else feels the same

Did the WOD's at Tommy Hackenbruck's gym in Salt Lake City. Thanks again Tommy! The back was tight today, I didn't push A and B too hard. It was a good warmup for the thruster workout. Was careful not to arch the back on BP and thrusters. The wife ran her half marathon today, great job Wifee! I'm proud of you!
Had to do the workouts in reverse today due to scheduling issues.

ReplyDeleteOn thursday I decided to do some bodyweight backsquats. 10x10 60 sec rest @ a 10x1 tempo. 185lbs. Needless to say, my legs were sore today. And my lats are still sore from the pullups on wednesday because of an injury that has precluded pullups for a few months. Anyway, I went into this trying to reassure myself that DOMS wouldn't have any effect on performance. My cleans did suffer, but it's all good!

the wheels fell off the last round, first round took 1:10 all unbroken, 2nd round thrusters unbroken, MUs in 2's and 1's, and 3rd round had to break thrusters once and the MUs were miserable, all one at a time and one fail.

Very disappointed with my cleans 135 is my PR which is pathetic. I am thinking sooooo much while doing them that i fail often because i don't finish my thought before i finish the lift.

C. Harop curls 15x5
Cleans felt amazing. Considering a month ago (pre-OPT) my 1RM was 125, and I cleaned that x3 and 130x3. I'm stoked.
Used purple band on dips - need to go down to smallest band.
No part 2 due to a sports injuries and biomechanics final coming up.. eugh.

C: unbroken (ghd back extensions)
Dead lifts felt good, by 385 I felt like I still had a good bit left in me. With the power cleans I tried to focus on finishing the pull. On the rep three of the third round it didnt finish, I got the weight up but it didnt feel right so I just kept at the weight. Ring dips I still may be going a little conservative on these trying to figure out my -1.
Getting to these out of order due to travel schedule...
