If we are to achieve results never before accomplished,
we must expect to employ methods never before attempted.
Goals I'd like to see for 2011 crew:
Close Grip Bench Press 1RM = Power Clean 1RM = Supinated Chin Up 1RM (includes BWT)
64% of CGBP = Seated Shoulder Press
10% of CGBP in DB's for DB Ext Rot - 8 reps/arm
2011
part 1:
A. Tall Clean - 5 sets of 3; rest 90 sec - work on speed, not load
B1. Front Squat Cluster @ 30X0; 2.2.2.2.2 x 4; rest 120 sec
B2. 20 unbroken CTB chin ups x 4; rest 120 sec
C. GHD Sit Ups @ 2010; 25 x 4; rest 90 sec
8+ hours
part 2:
Row 45 sec @ 95% effort
Rest 4:15 x 3
(10 min HSPU practice)
Row 45 sec @ 95%
Rest 4:15 x 3
2010
A1. Dead Lift @ 22X1; 2-3 x 7; rest 180 sec
A2. Close Grip Bench Press @ 30X0; 3.3 x 7; rest 180 sec
B1. KBS heavy - 21 unbroken x 3; rest 10 sec
B2. 75 push ups; rest 180 sec
post loads and notes to comments
I think James meant external rotation 10% of CGBP - 8 reps/arm.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like I have some serious work to do for 2011.
A2. Close Grip Bench Press @ 30X0; 3.3 x 7; rest 180 sec
ReplyDeletewhat is "3.3"?
B2. 75 Pushups. break them up however needed?
Can someone please enlighten me as to what a "front squat cluster" is? I'm guessing there are 5 different movements with the 2.2.2.2.2.
ReplyDeleteAs well, a tall clean... same as a muscle clean?
Thanks!
Dawson,
ReplyDeleteHere a link of OPT doing tall cleans: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MImlmY_vUz4
As for the Front Squat Cluster, someone else will have to explain.
Mike
Dawson-
ReplyDeleteCluster means to do the prescribed first number of reps, rack it for 10s, do the second number, rack it for 10s, and so on. OPT usually posts them for 1.1.1 which is a good way to increase your 1RM and 3RM, but in the case of tomorrow's he means to do 2 front squats, rack it for 10s, 2 FSs, rack it for 10s, 2 FSs, rack it for 10s, 2 FSs, rack it for 10s, 2 FSs, rack it then rest 2 mins and do part B2. So you'll do a total of 10 reps (broken up into 5 mini-sets of 2 reps) for each of the 4 sets.
As for tall clean I'm guessing that means minimal dip/drive--am I right?
James, is that suppose to be 75 push-ups per set or less? If so, poor DJ.
ReplyDeleteTues June 13th
ReplyDeletePart 1: Averaged about 300 -315 meters on all 8. HSPU's Felt good

C. GH Raises with bands @ 20X0; 12-15 x 4; Man this was tough the bands.
OPT,
ReplyDeleteI'm a day behind because I don't usually work out on Sundays. How would you like me to post my results if I'm behind. Also - I am going on a backpacking trip Thursday- sunday, and I don't want to skip any of your programming. What do you recommend I do when I get back? Do I just continue to be behind, or do I just stay on track with the current programming?
Dustin,
Hey Everyone,
ReplyDeleteJust checking in and saying hi! I miss you guys.
I've been doing my own stuff recently.. taking all the amazing things I've learned following James' programming and trying to apply them myself. If I'm not training I'm reading, or teaching, or just learning something from someone. There is so much out there, it boggles my mind. Just when I think I know something my whole paradigm will be flipped. It's literally nonstop. And I can't stop slipping down this slippery slope!
All you consistent posters know how awesome this community is; it just brightens my day. In the fitness world there's usually so much bickering about who is right, or who is wrong; or why one way of eating is bullshit and another is perfect etc. I always think about what Napolean Hill said "Remember that there are 3 sides to an argument: your side, the other fellas side, and the RIGHT side." I love that. I love that no one judges here... it's all about effort. Do your best. Don't bitch or complain. Don't insult. Just work hard, post, and you'll be welcomed with open arms. Just like I was.
I want to thank everyone for their support over the last 6 months - so many times I'd be working out and know that I'd have to post here and face the discerning eyes of the Big Dawgs. More than once it pushed me. It was a pleasure and totally humbling.
James, thanks for all you do.
N
James. Sorry to be a little off topic for todays training but I have GHR question.
ReplyDeleteHaving trouble keeping glutes engaged while above parallel. I can crank back ext pretty well but just can't nail my ghr. Using bands(assisting) is not helping that much.
Should I stay with developing back ext, maybe split squats and other posterior chain work or do you have any pointers
thanks mate
Coach,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you had any particular reasoning for the strength ratios you've set as goals? I'm assuming they're meant as a way to measure strength imbalances in the body - the only strength ratio I've heard before was that an athlete's bench 1RM should equal his front squat 1RM, and then of course the bodyweight standards (2xBW DL, etc). What's the mechanical significance of having a 64% CGBP as a SSP 1RM and being able to do DBExtRot with 10% of the CGBP? Thanks!
bin,

OPT, did I load too much on the Front Squat when I ended up doing more like 3031 rather than the prescribed speed?
Soren
cfcrew,
ReplyDeleteif you can't use bands, don't use them. Do the type of GHR that allows you to do the tempo and reps rx'd.
2010:
ReplyDeleteA1: 225-245-275-295(2)-295(1)-285(2)-285(1)
A2: 115-135-145-135-135-135-135
B1: all 72 lb. finished at about the 40s mark
B2: All sets unbroken... lol yeah right. 3min-3:43-4:15 (not including the KBS) Split the first round with 4 sets of 10UB then 5's. The last two rounds were basically all sets of 5. I sweat a lot more than I thought I would.
so the goals for the CGBP/% are good to see, i hit all of them except my PC 1rm is lower then CGBP. i have not done a 1rm in PC in a long time so that might be it. i do question if i was doing DB ext rotations correct cause i was able to get 20 and 21 reps.

question for coach/crew... i understand the concept of UB and unit layed it out nicey nice the other day, but in a work out like this where there is RX rest how should we tackle the work?

jay, 3.3 means do 3 tough reps, strip some weight off (usually the more advanced you are, the more weight you will drop) and then perform 3 more reps
ReplyDeletemike, jay, yes that is 75 PER set, fraction as needed
dawson, eric said it right re. cluster
dustin, post results on current day andthen when back train as the day prescribes...there is enough variety this time of year to allow enough touches for you
crossfitcrew.com - this usually means that your single joint hip flexors need some lengthening, not so much that your glutes are not working, at the top when the flexors are supposed to combine "release" with the use of hip extensors, they're not letting go...make sense...stretch them dynamically in "pulses" at almost end range as well as "Thomas TEst" PNF style...most times you gotta get someone in there to do it = pain session
Bin, these are ratios that come from other sports and other sources that I see are impt in the "fittest" person...i.e. a balance b/t the lower body dominated sports and upper body dominated sports and the specificity invloved in the sport of fitness...i can guarantee this, if you are off in some areas, they will be exposed somehow down the road
Soren, the concentric is supposed to be the "intention" of speed, if it takes 3 sec that is fine, as long as you intended to move it as fast as rx'd, cool?
brian c, it might mean that your others #'s need to come up...i.e. if you're bench was 225 and you did 21 reps per arm, might mean that you need to do 275 # bench and clean and chin up...cool?
brian c, looked at your #'s yesterday and i'd suggest getting the bench up to 260-275, which then means you're chin up will be close then...what does your PC 1RM look like in relation to this?
ReplyDeletethis is of course you did the db ext rot @ 3010 tempo and perfect form...

Front squats were getting really tough near the end. I think I may have been holding my breath too much during the last set. Felt like I was going to pass out. That's why it was broken... needed to take a few extra seconds to shake the cobwebs.
I found it difficult to maintain my grip for my last set of pull-ups. I was not happy when my hands let go. I let out a pretty loud "F#CK" that you folks in Alberta could probably hear.
GHD sit-ups... Not much I can say there other than I have only done them once before and only for 1 round of 20. They wrecked me. Today during the first round my back started cramping around rep 21. Had to stop during round 2 because felt like my abs were about to shred.
Overall not very happy with todays results. Felt very drained after the WOD this morning. Don't know if it was my breakfast or what. Oh well... Part 2 later on. Left shoulder still feeling weak/fatigued. May not attempt the HSPU practice. That will be a game-time decision.

Part 1:
A. 135lbs, 145lbs, 155lbs, 165lbs, 175lbs
--> started a bit too light. Great exercise.
B1. 185lbs, 155lbs, 155lbs, 155lbs
--> first set started too heavy. Rest periods were more like 15sec between the 2s. Knew I couldn't keep it up, so went down in weight and opted for better control of pace and tempo.
B2. 15+5, 9+5+4+2, 5+5+4+4+2, 6+5+5+3
--> first time doing kips in over 3 months. Usually do the butterfly, but didn't want to go there with shoulders slowly getting better. To protect the shoulders, I resisted a lot on the negative and the swing, wasting a lot of energy.
C. 20+5, (10+10+5)x3
Now about 2 weeks in, I gotta say I am loving this. The Rx tempo, especially. It's killing me, but being strong enough to control the weight instead of just bouncing up and down is a major weakness for me. Glad to see it exposed so quickly.
You guys put up some ridiculous numbers. Very motivating. I hope to join you soon!
P.S. Thanks to everyone who posted early this morning to clarify what tall cleans are and what the cluster is. Very helpful and much appreciated.

could have gone higher on the tall cleans but really wanted to focus on speed.
FS Cluster sucked the life outta me, stayed at 195 to maintain tempo.
CTB felt alright considering I haven't done them in a while.
Pukie was coming so shut it down on the GHD's, will probably finish them tonight after the row.
Need to clean up diet and start eating a lot more...felt slow and tired.
if i can somehow get my close grip bench press 20lbs. weaker, i'll be perfectly balanced.

Coach, should I keep this 5-days-behind schedule, or jump on and catch up with the rest of you?

Brandon
Coach or others,
ReplyDeleteOn a workout today where I do yet have the capacity to do 20 ub CTB pull-ups, what is your suggestion? Stay with the ub theme and do say COVP or regular? Or do max rep sets of CTB even though it means that each round will be broken? This is not a mental issue right now. I am having problems timing the kip for CTB and physically can't do 20 in a row these days.
Thanks!

B2.) Did 10 UB Wall Ball Shots (14#) instead. Used a narrower stance than I usually do and it worked well. Focused on technique and dropping into the squat faster. Decided to do WBS instead of pullups to work on a weakness rather than doing the pullups as those are one of my strengths.

-GHD sit ups were tough with all the other anterior chain activities
*I recently took out all nuts and seeds and I'm using more coconut oil, coconut milk, avocado's, butter and olive oil. I'm also trying to eat a lot more protein.

Awesome quote and goals. Really fired me up. Thank you Dawgfather! Maybe the caption from yesterday should have been "anything for you, Dawgfather"

ReplyDeleteYou need to work on the c to b, so pick a # that is difficult, but doable for unbroken reps and fight to get there every set. Think of whipping the kip to get your chest up to the bar.

Definitey ran out of gas on the rows.
Each row interval, I alternated between short strokes and long ones. Can't say it made a whole lot of difference...
coach.... thank you for the response. i have been fighting a back injury since nov, hence me not going for 1rm in a long time. going to give it a shot on rest day and see if it is inline. as far as bench i guess my number could of been higher but the only guy in the gym that would spot me kept touching the bar so i stopped @245 as a failed rep, prob would have gotten that? that would get me a little closer... as far as tempo and form i was pretty strict on the ext rotation

One question for doubles that I was hoping someone could answer for me. While working later shifts I sometimes can't get to certain equipment at the times that are laid out on here, so I was wondering if flipping parts 1 and 2 would be bad, or if I should try combining them all into one workout or what I should do?
I am serious about my training and am looking to start following the programming here for 2011. My question is I also do kickboxing mon-thurs for 2 hours a night (7-9 P.M). Do you think this will hinder my results? Also thanks in advance for the awesome blog, it's very appreciated.

HSPU didn't feel as strong as on Sunday, but got a little better through the session, then got tired. Rowing intervals like this always make me a bit queasy.
Long story short. i was doing Fran yesterday for a warmup to an ANVIL Wod. and i ripped 30% of skin on left hand and a silver dollar sized rip in the other. so i didnt do 20 unbroken pull ups just did strict ring pull ups

had to shut it down after the first set of front squats because what i believe to be my right lat (its just posterior to my midline below my arm) is giving me a lot of pain. it hurt to maintain the high elbows for the front squat and it was bothering me for the pullups too. i'm frustrated. i am probably going to need to get it checked out. sad face :(

Hurt my back today on the third set of deadlifts, feels like Im wearing a 50lb weight vest and cant stand up straight. I crawled into the chiro and it looks like Ill be out for at least a few days. When I can move again, I will email you James to see what I can do. Bad timing, I was feeling great and starting to get in my zone. I will see my chiro everyday this week and hope for a speedy recovery.

ReplyDelete6, 50 min soccer games on thurs and friday so I didn't want the DOMS from the front squats.
Instead I hit a bnechmark I;ve been dying to hit and did Angie in 16:55. A PR but I was hoping for low 15 min. Not a good performance.

A Tall Clean: 60/70/76/80/85kg (187#) - Felt good
B1 FSCluster: 70/80/100/110kg (242#) - 3rd round, I stripped 2.5kg per couple. 4th round, I stripped 5kg per couple.
B2 20/20/15+5/10+doubles - When these go south, they really go south. Last round I had to result to singles and doubles.
C: Unbroken - Both hands touching floor
Very strict tempo. I'm really interested to see how these negatives impact my training so I'm not going to jack around with them. I LOVED the Tall Cleans... All this emphasis on technique and refinement is great! Refueled after this one thinking I could recover within the hour to get the row done but this workout was a freaking bruiser! The row is going to wait for another day.
Thanks for checking in Nathan and Joey, keep us informed on how your doing! We'll be throwing a prayer your way brother!

johnathon sinclair, drop the volume total by 1/2 and do them back to back, minutes b/t each
ReplyDeleteangelo, keep the volume here at 50% for first 3-4 weeks and add some volume each week while training in boxing as well...you'll adapt and it'll help, spread them apart 6+ hours if you can, dawgs first

This is my second week following the program and I am really enjoying it. It is kicking my butt. This seems to be an outstanding and humble community and I would love to earn a spot in it. Thanks.

A: 135, 145, 155,165,170--first time doing these; pretty tough
B1: 185, 185, 195, 205; tempo good going down, but got slower going up; 185 felt heavier than I'd hoped for the 1st set
B2: A weakness of mine, so took rwcorson's advice and went for sets of 15--15,15,15,20; next time I'll try to get all sets at 20.
C: Unbroken, but tempo was a little off on the last few reps of sets 2-4. Haven't done these at high volume in a while. A little worried about how it's going to feel tomorrow.
Part II: not sure if this is going to get done. Newborn + long hours at the desk job are making the weekday doubles pretty tough.
ReplyDelete2011 - performed 6/22 with Rooney
ReplyDeleteA. 95, 100, 110, 115, 120 (tried to focus on speed, not load) Not clear on whether there is any pull at the top.
B1. 135, 155, 185, 195 (started too light. Tempo felt good. Will start at 175 next time).
B2. UB - felt good but ripped a callus.
C. UB but tempo was off. Machine sucks so it's hard to get the leg pop to drive from the bottom.
Part II - impossible with newborn and desk job during the week.
