and not happy. FS ok, but snacth have not improved in a year - admitted, have had a knee injury for 10 months but is fine now. Got 65 up but only once.
I hope there is more of that practise coming as it just pisses me off...

Really happy about being able to squat again after a knee injury a few weeks back and with a pb at that (thank´s to Greg E and the squat cycle I followed).
After 57.5 I did the 2nd rep at 60 as a PS+below knee. If that´s not ok then subtract 2.5 from my score.
The PUs was a tied pb at 45, but only 42 where chin breaking vertical.
All in all a great session for me, a big relief that I can squat again!

Better total than last year, but very disappointed with snatch. Not getting it to work at all. Won't blame ankle, because that actually felt ok - that was good news!
Now... One of the highlights of last years challenges was the OPT3 lifts made by Rory (3x159kg Fsq!!! + 2x102kg snatch!!), DJ, Colin Jenkins (3x136kg Fsq!!), Unit, the fact that Wes Hendricks did chest to bar pullups etc. Eager to see what amazing results the dawgs will have this time around. Bring it!

Hey James,
ReplyDeleteI'm the owner of CrossFit Will County and I have a few questions that I hope you can help me with. I don't want to clutter up this comments board with my questions or ask you to disclose your email address publicly. If you can find a moment, I'd appreciate it tremendously if you'd drop an email at eboyshan@sbcglobal.net so I could bend your ear for a minute.
Thanks so much,

Pull-ups were tough. I always do butterfly. Covp is a different animal. Grip died faster and was 13 off my butterfly pr.

ReplyDeleteMoving the gym over the last few days. Unanchored pullup rack, so had to use the 2" bar in the middle to minimize the extra movement.
Hey everyone! Just saying hi again.
ReplyDeleteThought I'd share some things I realized today during olift training.
I'm always so focused on getting faster... or getting stronger. Pushing my weight up, and up... just to say that I got the weight up. Doing it almost blindly. I realized that I need to be a lot more present; and focus on each movement for what it is. I have to try to master it instead of simply trying to go heavier.
I was missing at weights I should've been making and my olift coach wouldn't let me continue with attempts. When training alone I'd just try it again. He made a deal with me saying that I could take another snatch attempt but if I missed it I'd have to take 5kilos off the heaviest clean and jerk I had planned for the day. Or I could leave my snatches and go all the way up on my c&j. Well, I attempted the snatch and missed... but it sure as hell lit the fire in me.
I had a paradigm shift in my view of training. I was missing all over the place, even though I felt good... something was just not right. But I walked away from the session knowing I learned something I would not have learned had I been making every lift.
Hope this made sense - I kind of rambled. I think the take away message is that there is more to training than simply being faster and stronger... there are lessons to be learned in every session.

ReplyDeleteNotes:
First time squatting with weight in about 2months, happy with the result but know I have more left in the tank, didn't want to push the knee too hard. Same with the snatch, did power instead of squat because the OHS didn't feel good on the knee, ideally would have preferred SqSn. Pull ups weren't great, taped myself and took off a few reps.

This morning at the park we played crossfit baseball with an affiliate. Set all new PR's today, woot. Snatch form is still pathetic but numbers reflected the most in the FS. Last PR on FS's for x3 was (130kg june09) and single (135kg Nov09). Max snatch to date is 92.5kg. Couldn't match my butterfly PR I set a few days ago but still broke my last PR we set in the last OPT challenge. Added a little funbobby dance before the pullups to boost the DJ Power!
