Really need work on GHRs. Changed the length of my rope recently and it proved to be a real mental battle to not get frustrated during the DUs.
Nice work on the push-ups Chris!

Notes:
Deadlifts felt really good today, no problems here. Really trying to improve my overhand grip.
Held 9 for first 4 rounds then 10 for the last 4. Should have tried to hold 11 I think.
Still not sure if I'm doing the GHR correctly. All body weight with hands on chest.
Doubles felt decent, shoulder fatigue was issue.

DU`s felt good but arms were burnt
Early May
Part 1:
A (in kgs): 80x3, 84x3, 88x2, 90x2, 92x2, 93F. Bar just died at forehead level on the 93kg attempt
B: 1.5pd, 1.5pd, 1.5pd, 1.25pd, 1.25pd. Grip strength disappeared in a hurry. ~1 minute per set of 30.
Heading out to run now...

B. 70, 60, 53, 53, 53
45 minutes rest
part 2:
Only performed one set of four intervals. Also, didn’t have a watch, so had to guess a bit. I ran down and back three times on the football field from back of the endzone to opposing goal-line for a total of 660 yards for each run, then walked down and back once for the walks. Went shoeless. Knees and heel feel good, but I did develop some wicked blisters.

A. 185, 195, 205, 215, 225x2, 225x2
B. 70lb x 5 unbroken- killed the grip

38/6'2"/197 - Early May
Part I:
A: 80/85/87.5/87.5/85/80 (193#) - Was wanting to go up but tweaked a nerve in the neck crawling under the car to look at the head lamp during the break. Backed down, can't risk a bad pinch trying to squeak this out.
B: 2/2/2/1.5/1.5pd
I've learned dumbell's are no substitute for KBS. The first 3 rounds were meant to redeem myself from my ugly regional WOD#1. Contemplated sticking with it on the break but I knew grip was going to be sketchy from 15 on so backed down. 1.5pd felt just as difficult.
Part II: Coming soon...
Late May
A. 245
B. Low score 8 15,15,15,15,15,13,10,8
C. 12+3,11+4,9+3+3,11+2+2,10+2+2+1
D. 109, 112, 120 (Bonus Round 125)
Couldn't believe how hard I crashed on the Tabata Pushups. I've never scored so low. Looks like I wasn't the only one who crashed on these so I feel a bit better.
Had a hard time maintaining tempo on the last few reps of each set of GHD raises.
Bad night at work last night, did not have much.
A 185 205 225 235 245(f)
B UB @ 45 lbs - took it easy
Have to skip run to help with big supper tonight, which I hate myself for. Running is my goat, I have to improve on it if I want to compete. Any suggestions for a big guy (210+) learning to run? Any specific programs or exercises? Pose running maybe? I get a lot of leg pain when I run, I have struggled with it my whole life.
Early May (NW Regionals)
A. 95 115 125 135 145 155(f)
B. UB at 2 pood.
Did 7 of the sprints on the water in my single. Got a little rough out there so I did the last one on the erg: 1001m in 3 min (1:29.8). As a comparison, it is tough to get much over 850m in 3 min in a single scull.
Poly:
try hill sprints: 45" on 3' off. Steep hill (trails are best). Start with 4-5 of them. I am around your size but looking at your press vs. mine I think we are geared pretty differently. Regardless, the hill sprints once a week really helped my run last year. Best of luck.
Late May (Affiliate Cup Albany)
A. 205...deads felt extremely easy, probably should have went up, but this was 55%
B. 12-12-12-12-9-8-7-9...push-ups definitely my weakest movement, looking forward to strengthening them
C. 15-15-10-10-10...holy back tight!!
D. 88-90-89...double unders need work when I am tired, good work today on them
Overall a good day,spent a lot of time running around outside today then hit the workout tonight. Keep up the great work everyone!!
Late May-
A.205# felt great, I think I need to max out and see where I am at
B.15 better by 2 reps from last time.
C.15 all
D.149,155,166
Poly, one last bit of advice:
Thin-soled shoes like racing flats really helped my form; using them forced me to stop heel-striking. I used to get pretty bad shin pain, but not any more.
Early May
Built to 242/1 Snatch
Pushpress 205/3, 225/3, 235/2, 245/m, 245/1 - no more drive. Called it after 5.
KBs 70lbs, 53, 53, 53, 53. Grip Killed. Dropped after first set but didn't have 60s. Wanted them unbroken.
early May:
part 1:
Had to do some subbing due to being out of town and limited equipment.
A: Static Press: 135,140,145,150,155,160(2)
B: 1 pood X 5 - unbroken.
part 2:
kept a 6 min/mile pace for all 8 intervals
Johnathan:
Thanks for the advice, I've got a great trail just outside of my house that I am going to start using. Would Vibram Five Fingers be too little to run with? I've developed some leg pain recently and I'm worried it might be them.
38/6'2"/197 - Early May
Part I:
A: 80/85/87.5/87.5/85/80 (193#)
B: 2/2/2/1.5/1.5pd
Part II:
First half of all runs were at a 3-4% grade, middle half was 20-25% grade trail run. First run set the distance and pace for all rounds. Every round after that, I hit the same turnaround spot at the 1:30 mark and made sure I came within 10 yards of starting spot.
Coach, we keep this up, we're all going to become machines! Confidence going into regionals for me is knowing you gave it your all every day leading up till that moment of truth.

DL felt fast and light. I had the Tabata PU at 16 until the last round and couldn't get that last one in time. Not 100% sure how to do the GH raises so I subbed back extentions. Lost focus on the DU's and could have done much better.

Notes: B was an improvement, most recent on 1/15/10 looked like this: 16, 16, 16, 14, 11, 8, 8, 8
Awesome weekend at the OPT CCP course. My head is so full of information, it's going to take a few days to sort it all out.
For anyone interested in program design or understanding what the thinking is behind this great programming, this module is a must.
It was great to meet some of the Big Dawgs attending.
Thanks James and Trevor!
Poly,
I started running with the vibrams a few weeks ago. Pro: They almost instantly correct heel striking (if you were doing it before) so that you have a quieter fore-foot landing with your heel just kissing the deck before lifting your foot up. Con: It's highly recommended to baby your way into them. I used to run 5 miles every other day or so before I switched shoes. I had to control my urge to go out and run hard with them which was mostly caused by my excitement of the new sensations. I started out with 1/4 to 1/2 mile every day for about a 12 days to build up the leg/calf strength and have a good perception on what my legs and feet were doing so as to correct them when needed (build a good foundation). Even with throttling back, I still had some soreness in the arch and calves which is normal and expceted, but nothing preventing me from training the next day. After about the second week, I was comfortable doing 2 miles every other day at a pretty good clip and now I'm back to where I was with my older shoes. Take advantage of the softer impact of your trail and really try and transition into them slowly over time.
Early May:
Part 1
A: 80kg x 3 all sets
B: Unbroken except last set was 20+10, 24kg KB for all sets
Had to cut down the rest on A to 120 secs due time constraints.
Part 2 (2 hours later)
4 x 200m hill run, 80 seconds rest, all times within 2 seconds of each other (43-45 seconds).
Notes: Had to modify a lot today due to my schedule and training opportunities. Could have definitely gone heavier on A with more rest but decided to "play it safe" this time.
29 yom 185lbs - late marcher
A 225lbs x 3 x 10
B 24/20/15/8/8/8/8/8
C GH raises - can't go tempo on these as I can barely do sets of ten

A. 210 for all
B. 24 highest/14 lowest
C. BW/10lbs/15lbs/20lbx11/20lbx11
D. 162/148/171
Warmed up with five rounds of 160/min skipping, 15x dowel front to back, 15x OH squat with dowel bar, knee rotations, hip rotations, 20x torso rotations, 10x forward and backward arm swings with tight fists, five jumping burpees.
Then, thinking the WOD called for military press (memory lapse) did 1set iwth 110 #'s and the rest with 98 #'s.
KBS unbroken with 1 pod (60 sec rest. A challenge.
Ran at 9 mi/hr for 90 secs (240 meters) 90 sec off 4 rounds...then, savoring the expereince of it all, I quit.
Arf, arf....
