A2. 8/7/6/5

58 reps after 8 minutes. called it after I felt a painful pulling medial to left scapula on my last L pull up for the 2 min.
Hot shower and some stretching feels alot better.

30/M/175
2011

A1. 135x5, 145x5, 155x5, 165x4
**subbed push press because shoulder injury (can't push from shoulders without pain)**
A2. 8, 8, 7, 5

HSPU: 10/4/2
** nose-to-floor tripod-style http://www.drillsandskills.com/article/19**
L-pullup (knees bent, pronated grip): 7/8/6
**can't supinate with arms overhead without pain**
Total: 37

*Yes, I am seeing a therapist about my shoulders:)

Re: HSPUs... I can definitely do more reps with hands really wide, to decrease the ROM. When I came across drillsandskills.com a couple of months ago, I switched to the tripod 'stance' with hands and elbows close and it was much harder but felt more stable given my shoulder issues. Has anyone else tried this? Assuming my shoulders improve, is this a matter of style, strength vs. speed, or proper vs. improper technique?

OPT said...

andrew, post a video of you doing them from side on and i'll let you know what i think...

joey warren said...

Here is my video from yesterdays workout, had problems uploading video so its only the last round... not very exciting just me struggling through the last HSPUs, but I will try to film more WODs if my imovie starts going quicker.

Andrew said...

Thanks very much, Coach. I will post a video in this thread later today or tomorrow.

A1. 135x5, 165x5, 185x2, 185x2 - Got a little too aggresive after second set
A2. 9, 10, 8, 9
Part2:
36 HSPU, 62 L-pullups
Really stiff at beginning at workout from first football game of season on Wednesday, I showed up late and didn't have time to properly stretch and warmup, and I am paying for it now.

Is this a scheduled rest day for 2010 prep?

PTS said...

A1. 115,125,130,135
A2. 9,8,7,6

64 reps. 23 HSPU and 41 L pull-ups.

HSPU are my biggest weakness so I posted a video to see if anyone notices any form issues I could correct. If I just need to spend more time doing them in this way I will continue. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

OPT said...

jay, yes

OPT said...

PTS, nothing wrong, just longer arms and lean body - stronger = better HSPU over time, this will come..patience

+
HSPU 12-5-4
LPU 8-4-8

A lot of work still to do, but I'm happy with doing work. Press felt good until set three then Left shoulder would relax during descent. Kept the weight the same as to not to aggravate it too much.

Pull ups with the tempo were tough. I'm happy with the amount I did.

HSPU: were tough and I had to switch to a kipping for last two rounds due to my shoulder (started giving out)
LPU: noticed my grip giving out.

OPT or other Big Dawgs from Natural High:

I have misplaced my black North Face jacket. The last time I saw it was after the run. I am pretty sure I left it at Natural High. If anyone finds it I will send my address and you can COD it:) I hope it is there!!!
I start training again tomorrow :) I have soooooooooooo much energy I feel like my head is going to explode. Better fix that so Roch can survive :)

3rd workout since regionals and James you have taken me from feeling the best I've felt in a long time to sore & gimpy in a matter of 3 days. The flexibility improvement has improved my squat depth before the butt starts to wink under. I am now able to break parallel before it starts the wink.

Eric Montgomery said...

A1. 135x5, 140x4, 140x4, 140x4
A1. 5, 4, 4, 4. Had a hard time getting the height or pulling into the bar with no kip.

Cut part 2 down to 2 mins/1 min/1 min/2 mins because I knew I'd hit muscle failure quick.
Got 13 HSPU/15 L-pullups/7 HSPU/19 L-pullups. Definitely felt the effects of the press on the HSPUs.

Back following the program, followed it last year on the side line, now posting.
Pull and Push is a weakness, so this came in handy!

A1(kg) 50,55,55,55 - all 5 reps
A2 Strict, 7/8/8/7

HSPU; 15,9,6
L-PULL; 8,14,19

Am in Australia, and doing the Matt Lalonde web-seminar tonight - anyone else watching it?

Carrie McG said...

A1. 65, 70(4), 70(4), 70(4) - tempo killed me!
A2. 6, 7, 7, 7 (in small band)
+
HSPU in red and purple bands
For LPU I did strict PU the 1st min and then switched to strict band PU for remaining, then did a 1:30 cumulative L-sit afterwards to make up for the lack of L.
Total reps = 80

The HSPU harness was probably a little easy but after that it's basically unassisted and I can't do that many yet.

A1. 135/140/145/150(4)

Ben Priestley said...

2011
A1. 80#/ 85/ 90/ 95 (5)
A2. 5/ 7/ 6/ 6
Skipped 2nd part due to time.

Notes: For A2, switched to supinated grip for set 2-4. Was much easier to get chest to bar with strict form. Also, did get a single legit HSPU at home twice today, which was great. I'm in PTS' boat, HSPU are a huge goat.

Andrew said...

Hi Coach,

Sorry for posting this late, but I couldn't find the charger for my camera battery.

First video is the wide stance HSPU I used to use, which feels easier, as less ROM and I can do more reps with:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBL1ELz9xOY

Second video is the narrower stance HSPU I'm using now. Feels tougher, I can do much fewer reps (like 50% less) but I've read that it is the "proper way" to do them.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8qbETtUktM

Sorry, I don't know how to flip the video...

Thank you for offering to take a look.

didn't count reps, worked on HSPU as that is a weakness, finally got head to floor.
L pullups had to reset L every time.
