Happy Birthday Mike! looking forward to catching up with you next weekend at the Games!

Mack Lar said...

Happy BDay BrOPT!
Coach, I'm looking for some guidance in modifying 2011. I'm much faster than I am strong and have been trying to focus on strength vs quickness. Example, I can power clean 255 but my front squat 1rm is only 245. For today would it be appropriate to squat clean ALL of the reps, or am I better off just doing something different altogether. Thanks in advance.

Happy Birthday

A1: 70,75,80,85,90kg (failed 2 on HPC and once on SC)
A1: 20kg x 4 x 5

B1: 65,70,75,77,80 x 3
B2: 22,17+5,19+3,17+5,17+5

Just didn't have a good chin up day, sore hands.
Very happy with the weight on the A1, not happy with how it looked!

B1: 185,205,215,225,235 all x3

Really pissed about last set of chin ups. Didn't pull hard enough on the last rep and chest didn't hit bar.

ran out of time so B1 and B2 later.

Melisa C said...

2011

A1. 100/110/120 x2
110/120/130
A2. Parallel bars dip all BW * weak chest

B1. 95(3), 100(3), 103(3), 110(3), 115(3)
B2. 11Ub for all* done on split bars with palms facing. Much easier than straight bar but all I have. For past 4 weeks all pull-ups have been like this.

Lars said...

2011

A1. 205/225x4 sets
A2. 50x3, 75x3, 90x3, 100x3, 105x3
B1. 205x3 x 4 sets, 225x3
B2. 3x22 UB, 2x22 broken:(

Clean complex felt pretty good, but heavy - first time going heavy on cleans in awhile.

Ring dips felt great, solid even at 100+ lbs.

Push press felt okay, but not too much pop in the legs today.

CTB's felt okay for first 2 sets, then got tough. Really hot and humid again today.

kat. said...

Happy Birthday, Michael!

Marshall said...

A1. 135,145,155,175,175(PB for HPC)
A2. 25,25,35,35,45
B1. 135,135,135,145,155
B2. 10,12,10,10,8 UB

I didn't warm up enough today, tweaked my shoulder a bit on the HPC so I took it easy on the CTB CU's.

Travis said...

2011

A1. HPC/HSC/Squat clean 1.1.1 x 5 / Rest 3 min
A2. Weighted dips 2X10 4-5 x 5 / Rest 3 min
B1. Push Press 2-3 X 5 / Rest 2 min
B2. UB C2B 22 x 5 / Rest 2 min

RESULTS

A1. 135, 145, 135, 135, 135
A2. 20# vest 4 x 5 / 1 x 4

B1. 3 x 5 @ 135 / 2 x 4 @ 145
B2. Broken mess, did jumping PU last set.

Would benefit greatly from some form work on cleans. I believe I'm much stronger than I'm performing.

Should have increased weight on ring dips.

Push press was done at incorrect rep scheme. Silver lining is I probably could have pressed 155 or 165 at the correct scheme. Good to know.

Pullups sucked. Hands were already hamburger from prior WODs this week.

Eric C said...

A1: 135,145,150,155,165

Happy Bday Mike, hope your bday wishes come true next weekend, looking forward to meeting you guys!

Optimum Performance Training said...

2010
Pre - OHS, 175 x 1 rep

FSq 3's - 229/243/253 - easy
+
All rows were 1:31-1:33 avg.
DU's - all good.
+
GHD Sit-ups. Just focused on speed.

Thank-you to everyone for the birthday wishes. It is just another day doing what I do. Looking forward to next weekend to meet up with some dawgs again (and to meet some dawgs for the 1st time). Will definitely miss Geoff Aucoin screaming at me this year!

PTS said...

A1. 135,155,185,185
A2. 25,40,45,50 done with DB, pain in the ass.

B1. 145,155,165,185,185. had to clean weight first.
B2. 4 sets unbroken. 1 set of 15.

Melissa said...

Happy Birthday, Michael!

2010

FS X3, 155, 165, 175 (1RM is 195)

Row/DUs: 1:27, 1:37 (DU issues!), 1:31, 1:34, 1:31

GHD: UB, two hands to floor

Eric Montgomery said...

2011
Had to cut A and B to 4 sets apiece due to time

A1. 155, 175, 185, 195
A2. 53x4, 58x4, 63x4, 73x4
B1. 155x3, 165x3, 175x3, 185x3
B2. 16, 16, 16, 15

Notes: Probably could've gone 10lbs heavier for clean complex if I had the time. Dips weren't too difficult, should've started heavier on them. Push press went up pretty easy even without a belt on (compare to struggling bad for 190x3 last week). CTB pullups are finally starting to click, managed to hit 11 BFK on second set and 12 BFK on third set. Still limited by grip when it comes to trying 20+ unb CTBs.

b-mac said...

A. 195-200-205(was maybe a little bit too conservative on these)
+
250m row/DUs
1:23/1:17/1:16(got tripped up on first set watching teammates come off rowers, sets 2 and 3 easily unbroken)
+
GHD sit-ups
all unbroken, was good fun racing with tania!

Happy Birthday Michael!

2011
A1. 185/195/205/215/225(fx2 HPC)/205
A2. 16kgx4/24x4/32x4/40x3/48x3
B1. 185/195/205/215/225 allx2
B2. 9-13/11-11/11-11/8-14/9-13

Notes: Last set of dips felt something in the traps spasm and tighten up. Hurts pretty good and CTB was really tough. Did max rep CTB and finished with regular chins. Any reaching of the arm up or forward sends a shooting pain through neck and upper back. Not so happy right now.

Happy Birthday BrOPT.

Coach,
One week out from the games, I'm curious as to what your training has been like? How are you feeling about this coming weekend?

B1. 175x3,185x3,195x3,205x3,215x1
B2. all broken but getting better

On B1, felt that I had 215 better, but I think I got the weight too much out in front of me on the drive up. I've noticed a big difference between small differences in form.

Started too low on dips, but I wasn't sure where I stood.

pullup bar situation not good.

Stephen B. said...

Happy Birthday Mike! Look forward to watchin you and the other dawgs crush it at the games.

2011:

A1.185/195/205/215/225(1 hpc, f on hsc)/225(did an extra set)*
A2.75/90/100(3)/105(3)/110(2)**
B1.175/185/195/205x3 for all sets/215(f)***
B2.UBx5

notes:
**fckin stoked!!...I wanted this weight and I wasn't gonna quit...225 is a 10# PB on the squat clean and HPC...the fact that I hit it on the 6th set of a complex makes this PB even better.
**biceps to rings and full lock-out on all...challenging over 100#
***shoulders cooked...210# would've been a better weight for last set

DeeJay said...

Front squats - 225-275-315, all pretty easy, made big jumps purposfully.

Row/DU's - all rows were 1:30 pace, 1 trip up on last set of DU's. This couplet felt good

GHD situps - all sets the same speed, felt really good

whole session felt great...

My squat cleans need LOTS of work...
I have a hard time doing ring dips to begin with, so I could not go more than 10 lbs. (better than I thought though!)

A1 - 95-95-100-100-105 (weight used for all 3 lifts)
A2 4@5# - 4@5#- 3@7.5#- 3@7.5#- 3@10#

CTB not so great..inconsistent: tried some buttlerfly second/fourth set

B1 - 3@95 - 3@ 100 - 3 @100- 3@ 105- 2@ 105
B2 - 22 UB - 15/5/5/2 - 22UB - 12/8/2- 20/2
