Been VERY off with my training as I was away. Difficult getting back into it this morning, not feeling it.

A. 95
B. 9.30 - Obv I suck at C2B, can get the height just not contact with the bar.
C. All UB

Melissa said...

Er... not the best performance today.

A. 85 (failed at 95, PR is 98)
B. Incomplete. Failed at rep 6 of 9th set. After a minute or two BK instructed me to go back and try again, at which point I failed on rep 9.
C. all unbroken - finally at a point where these feel comfortable.

Looking forward to a long rainy run later today! Good for the mind.

Dr Lisa said...

There is always someone there to pick you up when you are down, to cheer you on when you need a little push, and to give well needed advice when it is necessary. THank you everyone (Ali, LuLu, Michelle, Rob) you are all inspirational to me and i really appreaciate the advice. I am going to go take care of me in the next couple of days and come back firing on all cylinders on the weekend!!

Katrina Burton said...

Chin up Lisa :) a positive mood goes a long way when dealing with an injury

A. Worked up to 105#
B. 1:48... Gymnastic kip until 6 and then butterfly
C. 2 sets with hands across chest, 2 sets with a 10# plate

Chad Hall said...

A: 155
B: 5:26
C: 1 with hands at chest, 3 with hands on head

Notes:

155 didn't feel great, but ok.

Crappy pull up bar and no chalk. Grip kept slipping.

GHRs were good, should have added weight.

Will sub rowing tonight for part 2 as my knees and ankles are sore from the damp weather.

MikeE said...

Optimum Performance Training said...

C - UB

Brandon said...

Part 1
A. 165 (PR is 175)
B. 7:33
C. Ub x 4

CTB much improved. Technique, not strength or stamina, is limiting as I can't seem to get the same kipping rhythm as with regular chins.

Part 2 later...
Brandon

Rory Hanlin said...

Nice work today Katrina, Mike F.

Melisa C said...

Part 2

Started running and Garmin battery died so was only able to use watch for time and not track distance.

Ran at about a 6.55/7 min mile. Not my strongest run but feel much better now.

Chad Walding said...

A. 155
B. 5:59
C. UBx4

Marshall said...

C. 15,15,10-5

Part II. Ran part two outside on gravel road. I felt slow and easily winded on the first set, the ramaining sets felt better.

My shoulders are feeling tired today, that and my hands falling apart made the CTB pull ups a bear. Not real happy with my time.

DSC Staff said...

C. unborken x 3

Katrina Burton said...

Thanks guys! Pullups are a definate strength of mine.

Part 2
Runs felt great! I love running x-country much better than on the side walk or track... Gives my mind something other than how tired I am to concentrate on.

Jeff B. said...

25yo / 74" / 194#:

A. 135*
B. 2:43 (pretty easy, B-Fly rnds 3-10)
C. Negatives, UB, UB, B, B

Rest 15mins

Part 2:
Row Sub, this was awful, I stayed above 90% of my watt range from Saturday for the first 4 intervals, then fell apart, 6th interval was a complete shit show, huge blister on my hand ripped, hamstrings were dead, I fell off the Rower like a wuss....The good - All intervals came in under 1:58 pace/500m, first 4 were under 1:50. All intervals hit 1km and I found a much more efficient stroke. (thank you live feed to SW Regionals)

Today was probably the happiest I have been in a long time from a workout standpoint....just 2 months ago I decided to compete in the Sectionals, having never done a snatch, and only having done OHS once. Well sure enough, one of the WoDs had 30 OHS @ 95#. This put me deep into the ground, C&J'ing it up every 2 reps, trying to OHS with a narrow grip, it was sad and hard to watch. Well today I successfully power snatched 135#, held it over my head for a few seconds, felt great, and decided to knock out 5 reps of perfect OHS. A little weak for a 190lb guy I know, but a huge leap for me in just 2 months of training on it. My goal for the end of the year is bodyweight OHS, bodyweight snatch, and 135# for 15reps UB. Thank you so much coach, and Big Dawg community.

Ben Priestley said...

Part 1
A. 115#, failed at 120, my current 1RM.
B. 4:58
C. UBx4

Part 2 (after 3.5 hrs rest)
Completed on grass

Notes:
P1.A. I filmed my snatches, and I'm unhappy with how they are looking. My 115# effort was ugly. Going to take Coach's advice to Bania and work on fundamentals when snatches come up again.
P2. I was dreading this wod all morning. Running over 400m with intensity is a mental struggle. I didn't feel I was hitting 90% consistently until the 5th set.

Lauren said...

A 100#
B 6:03 may have given myself too much rest b/t rounds
C Unbroken

Excited to do run outside later - it's so nice out!!!

derb said...

26/m/145

A: 125(worked my way up from 95 in 5 lb increments and after 115 it got ugly)
B: 4:14(failed on my 7th rep of set 10 which was at 3:25 so my time should be faster)
C: UB

Alex Duncan said...

A. 145
B. 2:36.2 Butterfly until last 4 reps had to switch to normal kip
C. All unbroken

Lats and Biceps sore after last few days.

Geoff Aucoin said...

A. Worked up to a sloppy 165, happy with that. Felt sluggish here, pulling too early.
B. Because of the set-up I couldn't kip worth spit so at the 3:05 mark I shut 'er down as I had almost pulled the squat cage over from swinging. I had just finished the 8th round where I had to hang on the bar for the last 3 reps with my knees up in the air and try to re-start my 'kip.'
C. No bench, started some Good Mornings but that weren't workin' neither. Oh well, whatareyougonnado?

Part 2? Tomorrow? Who knows...

Brian Maier said...

A. 185...felt easy. resisted the temptation to try for a new PR today.

B. 4:52....CTB's getting better. forearms were screaming after this

C. 4 sets of 10 unbroken

Anonymous said...

Late May :At OPT
A. 145 a little ugly
B. 2:13
C. UB, UB, 7/8, 9/6 (hands behind head first 2)

Part 2. Subbing Hockey later tonight

LuLu said...

NICE LISA.
I know you will only get stronger by taking care of yourself. I felt super today after holding back a bit yesterday. Rest does the body good :) CU when you return full force!!!!

Late May:

A) 95# with no press out and it felt super powerfull, working on technique with Roch this weekend certainly helped. I think you were right OPT, my 1rm is prob 105-110

B)3:12 sec, flew through first 7 sets then bonked and had to break them up into 2's and 3's forearms were on FIRE.

C) All ub, felt strong


Part 2:

Runs felt GREAT, I love running :)especially on the sunny trails by the river in Montreal, so pretty.
Nice job on the ladder Kat, you little MACHINE. I can't wait to see you bust it out at Regionals. Your new nickname is BUTTERFLY :)

Mizar Fuentes-Ortega said...

Part 1
A. 135
B. 2:51
C. unbroken

Part 2 - enjoyed the outdoors...

Mike McNaughton said...

A. 155. Pulling early.
B. Made it to rep 8 of round ten and slipped off bar. Was at about 6 min. Went to chalk up and realized I had a significant rip. Was advised to shut it down.
C. 4x15. (UB/11,4/8,7/5,7,3)

Part 2 after 45 min break. Averaged between 900m-1100m.

ken c said...

A. 180
B. 2:04 (regular chin over the bar)
C. 4x15 back extensions ub

after the power snatch i went back down to 135 and worked up to 185 squat snatch. didn't catch the c2b part of the pull up ladder. may do it again later. can't do ghd raises on our ghds so just did back extentions.

Roch said...

Emilie P-B said...

A.85
B.4:52
C.UB/UB/UB/UB

That was my post on December 30th for the CTB pullups ladder:
B. CTB pullups: 9:00 I took time to rest between each round after 6th set to do them all unbroken. Failed to go CTB on last 2 pullups of last set.

That is an incredible improvement in 4 months. Thanks OPT!! :)

Michelle said...

A. worked up to 90#
B. 4:41 lots of rest before rnd 8,9 and 10...maybe too much before 8 & 9.
C. Only time for 3 rnds...all 3 UB

Lisa M...have a good rest!

Paul Klein said...

A. 155lbs kind of sloppy so I shut it down.
B. 4:05 (4:19 last time in december)
C. All broken, got my new GHD today! Harop curls are no comparison to real GH raises. My hamstrings are already sore, I am dreading how I feel in 36 hours.

No time for part 2 today, I had my fitness test as the Appalachian State Human Performance Lab.

Bod Pod results
190.836lbs
7.2% fat
92.8% Fat Free Mass

VO2 Max on treadmill was only 52 (milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute) This is on the high end for average people, but compared to real athletes is kind of low. How do I get this up? Please don't say snorkel or gas mask training.

Carrie McG said...

A. 95# (which is a PR but it was easy, no press out or anything!)
B. 9:26 ugh. Used a band because I almost have chest to bar but I don't have that last inch to get the contact.. Using the band effed up my kip and I had to reset it a lot and got pretty frustrated.. ok end of sob story.
C. 10/5 for all sets

Eric Montgomery said...

Part 1:
A. Warmup 20kg x 2, 40x2, 50x2; then 56kg, 60kg, 66kg, 70kg. 70 was a little ugly.
B. 4:18 for 1-9 ladder. Decided to avoid hand rip rather than going for the round of 10, plus I was pretty gassed anyway.
C. Cut to 15, 10, 10 all unb.

Part 2:
Cut to 2 sets.

Stephen B. said...

Part 1:

A.155**

B.3:59***

C.UBx4

**this was strong and not quite the "tough" rep I was looking for...jumped to 165# but missed so I shut'er down
***re-did round 9 after missing contact on 5th rep...pullups didn't feel strong today at all

Part 2 tomorrow. Sleep patterns have been atrocious and I'm totally exhausted...

BK said...

A. 115
B. 5.35

Wrist hurt at 115 so called it there and CTB were solid just paced it, not forcing to much torque on the mit.

Part 2

- runs felt really good not sure of the distance.

david83 said...

I catch the bar way to high almost standing straight up. I have the same problem with the power clean and I have sense of dip just a bit.If I improve this I could go alot heavier.

Anonymous said...

Part 2:

Did runs on Friday (did wods M,T,W so Th was a rest day). Had time to fit in 4 with a longer break between 3 & 4. Was able to cover about the same distance each time.
