pain for over 7 minutes at end, went 23:44 increasing wattage; 319-358 w for last 7 minutes; HR @ 184-192 for last 4 minutes; VO2 max - 78.9, highest RER - 1.08
The cool idea behind the orthomitochondrial medicine is that it is using a souped up metabolic cart measuring a more functional terrain besides the basics above.
What comes from it is more knowledge in terms of making machines with the precise prescription based on the starting points; key things re-iterrated - one must diagnose first, i.e. assess, DO NOT guess!

competing next weekend:
A. Power Clean - 1,1,1; rest 5 min
B. OHS - 115# x 8; 0 sec rest, 25 unbroken double unders; rest 2 min x 4
C. Run 400 m @ 95%; rest 4 min x 2

May 8-9:
A. Dead Lift @ 12X0; build to a 1RM -5%; rest as needed
B1. KBS - 2/1.5pd x 20 unbroken; rest 10 sec
B2. Clap Push Ups @ 10X0; 15 x 3; rest 3 min

5 suicides - 3 min rest b/t each
(place 1 cone 10 m out, 2nd cone 20 m out, 3rd cone 30 m out; SPRINT to 1st cone and back, then 2nd cone and back, then 3rd cone and back; rest, repeat for 5 sets)

I'm guessing this is 'Amanda?'

http://amandaredmiller.blogspot.com/

Sad story, give it all you got, Dawgs.

On a happier/more hopeful note; I'm off to the hospital with my wife.

Rainer said...

Sub for DU's? Achilles tendon/knee still messed up.

Nathan H. said...

I've spent the last 30 minutes or so looking through Amanda's blog. Tragic. RIP.

James, I'm reading Dr. Frank's book right now... I'm guessing that's the bio-energy test? I looked online and there is a testing site about 40 minutes away, after regionals I'm gonna go down there. I'll post my results. The O2/CO2 explanation really sold me on the idea.

I made up a part of the workout from 2 days ago:

1000m Row: 3:05.7 PR, ratio: .42
Rest 1 hour
100kg/5, 108kg/5, 108kg/5
Total in lbs: 3380

Jon M said...

Thanks for the May 8-9 specific programming coach. I haven't done a suicide since HS football.

OPT said...

rainer, bike sprint @ 90% for 90 sec if you can

nathan, let me know all the scores you get as the test spits out some nice info i'd like to have as well, thx

Simon Lundmark said...

"Amanda": Subbed 100 DU's for 400 meter rowing.
Scores are row time / total time.
1. 1:09/2:52
2. 1:23/3:27 (totally crashed on the rowing here, had way too high output).
3. 1:25/2:47
4. 1:24/2:45
5. 1:26/3:03 (Was reaaally stoked here, fran-feeling except that my stomache-muscles were all out).

I was really disappointed when I crashed in the second round but looking back at it I can tell that I learned a hell of a lot from that.

Even though I didn't do it as RX'd, this workout was rougher than I thought and it taught me a lot (about myself). Thanks.

I tried to keep in my mind during the workout how much Amanda would have loved to had the chance to complete one more workout.

Thanks for the input yesterday guys.

One more thing...
I used to live in NorCal and now live in SoCal and I am sure some of you are trying to figure out what to do re: the change of Games venue. Please let me know if you have questions or I can help.

If you have tickets and can't change them, JetBlue and Southwest frequently have $39 flights several times a day from Oakland/San Fran to Long Beach (20 minutes or so from the site) or LAX (don't go here unless you have no other choices - traffic is miserable and the airport is a mess).

There are a ton of places to stay, but you want to make sure you are on the right side of traffic especially on Thursday, Friday or trying to get out Monday. I would suggest going west towards the beach towns or south towards Long Beach from the site. North and East gets you into some sketchy parts of LA.

Like I said, I have gotten so much from Coach's programming and trying to keep up just a bit with the Big Dawgs, if I can help, I would love to.

Sad to hear about Amanda.

A community like this is amazing I have read James', Robb W and other posts about what they and others did for her. Truely amazing. The numerous dedications and comments regarding Amanda are almost overwhelming, Wish I had the opportunity to meet in her in person.

Thanks James, and everyone else. I don't comment much here anymore. I ALWAYS make time to read the comments, I am proud to say that I am part of this community. (If only lurking sometimes)

Brent Maier said...

Regarding Amanda, this is rather chilling in that I specifically remember cheering her on each and every time she passed as she ran up the hill at Aromas. The gun tattoos are unforgettable. I get a sick feeling reading the blog and seeing it come to a grim halt. I'm getting sensitive in my older age but let this be a reminder to everyone to sit back a few seconds and re-assess your priorities in life. My efforts this coming weekend will be in memory of Amanda.

On a lighter note, congratulations Geoff!

Michelle said...

Did a little catch up today with weekend WODs plus factoring in current state of injuries, etc. so I didn't do 'Amanda', but will do it another day and think of her...I was shocked when I discovered the sad news about Amanda and couldn't help but think how it was just last July when I saw her at the Games. Rest in peace Amanda...wishing her family and friends comfort while they deal with their loss...

Robs said...

Competing next weekend:

Had to rush the workout due to travelling all day and a needed to spend time with my beautiful fianceé who said yes this friday.

B: 5 rounds of 60 kg OHS and 25 DU. No Rest. time = 7:12.

no rest

C: 1200 m row, time = 3:59

PR on 1000 m row is 3:11 so was very satisfied with my 1200 m time.

tragic to lose someone so young with so much life ahead of them. i was pretty bummed out about it all day. mr. corson is correct. never know when our number is up. i didn't know amanda but i'm pretty sure (something to do with the tattoos i think) she would want us all to grab life by the balls.

Round 2 was my only unbroken DU round and I paid the price ... HUGE exertion headache that incapacitated me on the floor during my first burpee for 30 seconds, it was brutal. Other than that I'm pretty happy with everything. The weekend off was a great call as I came back refreshed. Still have a slight chest cold but, a lot better than it would have been. Foot also feels a lot better today too.

38/6'2"/199 - Next Weekend

A SJ: 90/100/105kgX (220#) - The back couldn't take the 235# attempt.
B OHS/DU's: 29, 28, 29, 27 - Cut rests down to 1.5 minutes vs 2
B.5 PP: 90/100/105kg (235#)
C 400m runs: 69, 71 - Run with GPS watch on hilly streets.

Notes:I've been focusing on plan A being the push jerk that I didn't consider the plan B. I can't accept 220#... So I had to revisit my failure on the Push Jerks after seeing Units PJ scores tonight. Loaded up the bar, threw the closest thing I could grab, picked up the bar and push pressed it. Worked up to my failed 105# and was able to lock it out. Woot... Unit, your going to destroy me before we even get to regionals!

Late May:
I'm playing catch up so decided to skip the rest day and get this one done to put me back on schedule since this WOD was right up may alley. Maintained a comfortable pace throughout knowing that I had skipped a rest day. Goal was 2 sets of 50 UB DU's and UB burpees.
2:04 50/50-UB
2:06 50/50-UB
2:09 50/50-UB
