A. Close Grip Bench Press - find your 1RM
B. Seated Behind the Neck Press - find your 1RM
(bar starts on neck, not overhead, start in high bar back squat position, then sit back unsupported on bench, set it, then press)
C. Supinated 1RM Chin Up weighted
D. DB External Rotation @ 3010 - amrap/arm @ 10% A - 1 set per arm
(10% of A as DB per hand)
post exactly like this:
1. CGBP 1RM
2. % of CGBP 1RM used for #2
3. % of CGBP used for #3 including bwt in # (i.e. 90# DB + 160# bwt = 250#)
4. reps/arm using 10% of CGBP 1RM
(i.e. 290#, 64%, 87%, 8 reps/arm)
Weighted Chin up is strict, right...no kipping?

ReplyDeletethats just bullshit!
James-
ReplyDeleteI didn't see this in the FAQ's so if I am re-posting a known question I apologize. Will chin-ups always be designated as 'supinated' if they are to be done that way? In the past I have always done chinups as supinated grip whether designated or not, and pullups as pronated grip. Also, thanks for the programming. I am only a month in and seeing positive changes. I will start posting my data this week.

ReplyDelete30/m/5'10"/176lbs
ReplyDelete1. 205lbs
--> didn't know the standard width, so did it with 14" between thumbs
2. Unable to do even with empty bar due to shoulder pain.
3. 130% (90lb in plates + 176lb bwt = 266lbs)
--> Huge surprise. I haven't been able to even hang off a bar with a supinated grip in at least 3 months, probably more. I've been doing a lot of painful pec and lat stretches in the past 3 days, so I decided to see if I could do this with bodyweight. Felt good, so I just kept going. I will definitely keep up with the painful stretching and hopefully continue to get healthy.
4. Unable to do even 5 reps with 5lb weight without bad pain in shoulder. Did some theraband external rotation exercises instead.

ReplyDeleteJames operates this blog. He programs the WOD's as he see's fit. He breeds Big Dawgs. He puts content that he see's fit. He loves his daughter's - Hannah and Chloe (they are my nieces). So, if you are going to write on this blog ensure you are doing what is rx'd for the WOD, join the community when there is an opportunity (hense today), and don't ever shame James or my nieces.

let's see what's in style this season for the canadian gangsta in the brisk summer months. you can see james 'opt' fitzgerald stylishly demos his flamboyant 'pistol' workout and outfit to match. no canadian gangsta would be complete without the hoodie [being sure to cover his ears at risk for summer frost-bite] and padded 'puff daddy' jacket, allowing himself to represent himself by appearing much larger than he actually is...

Way to make an entrance George! Your first post (at least that i've seen) and you're insulting the top dawg? Go "wet your pants" elsewhere dude.
ReplyDeleteUnit's unedited version is brilliant!
I love "straight out of Calgary" only because of the winter attire in June! I broke a sweat here in NC just cooking on the grill this weekend!

ReplyDeleteHaving an opinion about the photo is okay, but I think you need to have more information about the photo and the man in photo.
The photo was taken at the start of the run at the Canadian Regional, it isn't an endorsement for the NRA or violent crime.

George you're missing the point. People who know James have come on here and tried to explain to you context, etc. You choose to disagree which is your choice but clearly this isn't the place to come and voice it repeatedly especially when no one sees you posting your workout results. You have no "bitching capital" built up. Be a member, earn respect and then you can post objections. Otherwise leave because you are the one ruining positivity!
ReplyDeleteThanks,

Hi Big Dawg Friends,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted you all to know that I miss you :) did my first workout since regionals today and it felt G-R-E-A-T. Starting my pure strenght program for the Strongman comp next Monday :) I will be lurking in the background and will say hi now and then. CU all August 30th, be back on the big dawgs then, will keep you posted on PR's. Getting huge time, grrrrrrr.
Oh, the pic of games was great, looks like he was just about to set of the start of the EPIC weekend that was Regionals. Thanks again James. HUGS FOR EVERYONE.
