ReplyDeletegive 'em hell
I just read the Thursday text over the polar bear and husky video and notice that coach had the privilege to listen to John J. Ratey the author of the book ''Spark''
ReplyDeleteI did read the book and I think its a major tool full of solid studies to help people understand about:
1. Improving mental acuity, improving neural connection in quantity and quality trough physical activity.
2. Natural solution for actual society problems (depression, anxiety, ADHD (attention/deficit/hyperactivity/disorder),...).
3. Ratey and Hagerman (that also contributed to this great book) deliver lots of info about hormonal action, what does what and a great deal of hope regarding helping trough our common passion ''physical activity and healthy lifestyle''.
5/5 Stars :)

Metcon- 8:30
PTS- I feel your pain. Same problem here, I was determined to get 155 today but no luck. My form starts to fall apart at 145.
Metcon felt good, felt like I was getting under the weight well and catching it pretty well. I might sub squat snatch for PS next time, I need to get more comfortable getting under those higher weights.
PTS, place a video on here of your snatch next time and we can take a looksie at it...
ReplyDeleteby end of summer the new OPT website will have online capabilities of coaching through "dartfish-like" technology which will help all of us immensely on these things...
I have the same problem with my clean once the weight gets heavier for me. I can do 125 easy, but 135 seems impossible. Are there any exercises for the clean (or snatch!) that will improve my quickness getting under the bar?
ReplyDeleteUnit just ran a 4:08. After he finished he was the fastest by 8 seconds. No word yet on final results or how Brent did.
ReplyDeleteUnit won WOD 1 with a 4:08. Brent ran a 4:38 for a 17th place finish.
ReplyDeletebrent 4:38. pretty damn good. places him pretty high in the pack. unit's 4:08 is just plain sick. sub 5 min mile pace right there.

ReplyDeleteDid WOD today at crossfit Ramsay with sHELLY and Jeff and Ken and Lindsay
Part 1 65/75/80/87.5/92.5. Last set was not pretty but got it up
Part 2 11:32 slow as frigging molasses Shelly kicked my ass with a smokin 8:15 I think. Snatches were god awf awful and were what slowed me down I could do burpees and box jumps all day long. Having said that going from burpees to 30" BJ was very hard the first couple of reps til you got your groove. Tweaked my knee again it is now very swollen and as I attempted to run to get my daughter I almost fell to the ground with the pain - this is not good!!!! Hopefully a couple days of ice and rest for it and it will be ok????
UNIT! Kill it man!

Started at 132 and worked up to 157 but failed on the 3rd rep.
ReplyDeleteExploded on the WOD, I'm obviously under-recovered due to our big week with the new baby. I can deal with that, I knew I didn't have it early so I just focused on good reps and finishing. 9:14 was the final tally, probably 2 minutes under my ability level. It will come back quick.
Give 'em hell, Unit and Brent!! Big Dawgs are cheering for you. I'll do your WODs later today for some fun...

12.30 with a 28" box. So scared on box jumps, I really wanted to rx it and it was only 2 inches but I just mentally could not get past that block. :(
But I am happy I did 36 snatches at 80#, that a big step as snatches are not a strength for me.
Ah well, c'est la vie.

Keep going Unit and Brent! This last one is yours for the taking to rise up!
ReplyDeleteMcCabe, I seem to recall we did 135 at our sectionals and you were handling that alright. Just a bad day today, no problem. Calgary will be a different story!
Nice work Unit and Brent, I know you will both crush that last WOD!

PTS, from side view only, start with bum higher and hamstrings more engaged; at 135 as all folks like myself when this happened, there is a "critical weight" point where 1-2 #'s compounds the little things you are doing wrong at this point. your set up should be TIGHT and SOLID...move the weight off the floor in patience
ReplyDeletewhen your bum is low and you start to stand up, your bum goes up but the weight does not, so you have no knee bend for the quads to re-extend and create that powerful hip placement for hip extension
little thing too, keep your shoulders and rhomboids tighter at start, as weight gets up on 3rd rep and these guys fail, you'll see a slouch on your 3rd pull at 135 as i did...this is also where the correct structural balance of rhomboids to pressing is IMPT!!!

Lulu, these are not touch and go reps
ReplyDeletei should state that but when an exercise is written and explosive, it is 1 rep, reset, 2 reps, reset, 3rd rep, done...good thing is your 3RM is higher than 90, i'd suggest 105 actually....
