I just started following the blog. Yesterday's workout with the six sets.....what was the rest time between sets(if any)...I rested 90 sec. is there a standard rest time when it isn't posted? I did the 2010 and 2011 prep.....was that in correct? Sorry about all the questions...thanks for the help at regionals and sectionals!....seeing form being pushed so strict changed my view of crossfit and training
nosadczuk,
There will always be rest time posted for the workouts. Sometimes you've just got to read it a couple times to get it. So to my understanding yesterday's 2010 Game workout should have looked like this:
1 set of:
C+J, BJ, KBS, DU, Burpees ... then 10 minutes of active rest
then start set 2 ... once finished, another 10 minutes of active rest, etc.
Active rest can be anything you want; a light jog/walk, a light row/bike, active stretching, etc.
Are you preparing for the 2010 Games? If so then follow the 2010 Games Prep. If you're not competing in the Games this year then start following only the 2011 prep.
Hope that answers your questions.

i've developed some nasty elbow pain during chinups. i bar is quite thick where i train and that might have something to do with it. both elbows are hurting. is there anything i could do to stretch them or something. i'm worried that i'll have to stop chins as well. muscleups are aready out of the question..

Just started following yesterday. Have been reading the blog for the past 6 months. Inspired by all the awesome Big Dawgs at the Canadian Regionals last weekend. Thank you, OPT, for offering this great program online. When I started 1.5yrs ago, I watched all your videos on YouTube over and over again to get psyched for the gym. You're an inspiration -- not just the athletic feats, but the way you conduct yourself and how you've built your business. My highlight of last weekend: you said "awesome ring dips" to me and shook my hand during Team WOD 2:). Good to know I"m doing it right. OK, I promise no more 'fanboy' comments!

C. could barely hold for 15s at a time. Very challenging. Dealing with rotator cuff issues.
George,
I had the same elbow pain a couple years back.
Are you fully extending at the bottom of the chin-up? If not, you may be putting too much pressure on your bicep and they are fighting back.
I was diagnosed with tendinosis; I had some injections done which cleared things up within a couple of weeks.
Do you live in Calgary?

Back from the Southeast Regionals this weekend, which was a great experience. On top of simply competing, having an opportunity to meet and talk with Rory, Unit, Steve, Paul, ROBO and Paul was great. I finished 23rd overall and I can confidently say that I am happy with the outcome. The programming was top notch and the judging extremely fair. My weaknesses were exposed, as they should be. I felt prepared going into competition and confident throughout the weekend, thanks to Coach's programming. My best placing in any event was 7th and my worst was 53rd. On everything else I placed in the low 20's. One major takeaway for me from this weekend was the mental toll of having a weak event early in the weekend and digging myself out of a hole for the rest of the weekend. At Sectionals, the event that I knew would hurt me fell late in the weekend so I was ahead in the scoring early on.
Despite feeling like I want to get right back into the gym and get back to work for next year, I am going to take 3 weeks off. No gym for 3 weeks will give me some quality time with my wife to make up for dragging her all the way down to Jacksonville this weekend and having to put up with me being so focused on competing.
Again, thank you Coach for all of your hard work. The Big Dawgs that were at the Southeast Regionals this weekend are tremendous athletes and amazing people. Hopefully we represented OPT well.
Going to be doing a lot of my own programming for the next couple months. Need some more specific structural balance work. Will still post here and will likely be doing many of the Big Dawg workouts along the way.

Just wanted to throw out a quick welcome to all the new "faces" posting. Many of us ol' Dawgs are taking a well deserved rest so there won't be alot of us posting for at least a week or two but we are happy that you have "seen the light" and are joining the best pack around. THis programming is bar none the best out there so you are in the right place and welcome.
Just wanted to thank everyone for their support throughout the Regionals this past weekend.
James... can never thank you enough for what you offer us all here.
Michelle... I can't even imagine what you were going through having to withdraw due to injury. If I were you I don't think I would have been able to watch, but you did more than that for all of us. I heard you loud and clear during each of those workouts and it definately helped me!
Rob C... It's no wonder you are team captain. You offer great advice when you know someone needs it. You were there to give me a mental boost when I neeeded it most. That little talk you gave me on Sunday helped more than you can ever know.
Leighanne, Laura, Gord, Liz, Geoff, Dave, Trevor, Stacey... your persistant yelling during that final workout was what got me through when I didn't think I had anything left to give.
And thank you to everyone involved in this great community. Even if you weren't present at the Canadian Regionals, you helped to raise the bar in training to get all of us to the next level.
Now for an amazing couple of weeks of rest!
I hate to do this on here but I am trying to use all the resources i possibley can. If anyone in the Calgary area knows of anyone looking for a wonderful dog I am very very desperate to find a home for one. PLEASE email me if you know of anybody - he is 2 years old and is a Catahoula/Australian sheppard and is one of the most beautiful dogs you would ever see. IT is very urgent so please contact me. lamakofka@yahoo.ca
I did yesterday's WOD first and then got started on today's. Trying to catch up. I did my two rounds of A1-A3 before feeling like I had tweaked my SI joint on the DL or GH raises so I shut it down after that.

My low back is still healing but its feeling alot better. Just like Dmarsh, i am going to be working on balancing out my body as i have built up some nasty imbalances over the last year.
Just wanted to say to ALLLLL the BIG DAWGS, we all had a great year in 2010 and I am looking forward to kicking ass in 2011 again. To mike, dj, joey and any other big dawg i missed going to the games, stay strong and crush em!
And to COACH, a million words wouldnt explain how grateful i am to have this community and this amazing programming, thank you!

Had a great time this past weekend at the Dirty South Regionals. Great to finally meet Mack Lar and Paul and to see Steve again. All the big dawgs were inspirational to watch.
Here's Rory at the final bar from event 1...

Thanks Unit for the advice. I thought it was umbilical but doc diagnosed it as epigastric. It's actually about an inch above my belly button. Small lump the size of a dime.
Went light today due to hernia. For the next couple of weeks until surgery, it's high reps/low weight and running for me.
Part C was toughest. Everything else easy and controlled.

B. 30/33/25
C. 100 secs/100 secs/60 seconds after. So tough, I had to go to my "happy place" very quickly.
After watching my clients inspired from my results this weekend, and working harder than ever I decided to get back it to today....body was much more fatigued than I thought...ended up having to call it early.
2010 Prep.
Warmup:
Run 800m
2 rounds:
samson stretch 15 sec
10 OHS, 45#
7 pullups
15 squats
A1. 35/19
A2. 1:16.7/XXX
Felt okay during warmup, but knew I wasn't quite all there on the first set of pullups. Managed to knock out 35 unbroken fairly comfortably (equalling my PR). Probably could have managed 42-45. The row completely gassed me...legs are still very tired from the weekend. Felt very laboured...
Second set of pullups only managed 19, which told me I need some more rest.
A1. 135/155/175/185
A2. 12/12/12/12
A3. 20 kg (all unbroken)
B. 28/28/30
C. Tough- made it 60s for the 1st round less in rnds 2 and 3 before breaking.
what an amazing time in okotoks over the weekend! great to meet so many people from this blog and from all over canada. the whole experience was inspiring and was a great learning experience for me.
james, it was an honour to meet you - thanks again for everything you do.
a couple weeks off for me and then 2011 training begins
Subbed push ups for pullups to give the blisters another week of rest and in retrospect should have done the wall balls first or ring pullups. Pushing to more pushing allowed me to fail very quickly at the wall balls.
push ups UB, rows: 1:25, 1:26, 1:26
Wallballs 11-14-16
GHD's 20 UB
Run:
Felt good to run, but man was it hot?! I had a limited time so I ran 3 min. at a 5K pace times two, then a mile TT (6:06 on the mile. my hip flexors and hamstrings were particularly tight today).
April,
Thanks for the link.
Rory, impressive!!!
Lisa & Kat, in this community we help each other out. Ain't no big thing, you two were awesome.
Taking two weeks off for some fun stuff. Went on a hike today, yoga tomorrow then DANCING all weekend with great friends.
CU in a few:)
Train hard Games competitors!!!!!
April,
Thanks for sharing the video. That moment was by far my favorite of the weekend.
It was great to meet you!
