end of this phase, more to come on next plan
I´m at work and videos are blocked (dammit), but I´m guessing the "strongman med ball toss" is kinda like "reverse med ball toss" but throwing as high as possible (as prescribed) and with the weight of my liking?
ReplyDeleteBear - Yep, it is a video of a strongman comp, where this rather large dude is tossing kegs over a ridicoluus high obstacle! I think the focus is on height more than distance
ReplyDeleteSoren
only did one set of t-lines as my plantar fascia started acting up again. I injured it on the hill sprints two weeks back and it has been slow to heal, so I will keep resting it.

ReplyDeleteNice job Kevin! I heard it was the fastest LP IM in years. actually in most other years that could have qualified you for Kona.
ReplyDeleteSo... I'm interested seeing what Kevin's training was like. Not 'cause i'm jealous or nuttin. Maybe a rough outline, without giving away his secrets ; )
No T-line drill today, not with my ankle. Saving those for later.
ReplyDeletePower cleans+sprint: 80kg, 80kg, 80kg, 82.5kg, 85kg
medball toss: 4kg medball as high as I could. Fun stuff. Felt like classic famous Swedish thrower Ricky Brucht.
Evan, no secrets, but i can't possibly write out what we did, each day is specific to him and what he can/needs to do.. no templates
ReplyDeletei can say that for him in that time frame a lot of it was trying to find the balance b/t recovering from high end pace work on runs and correct power for time on the bike...the swim is what got him, -8 min from what we wanted...
what longer training gives athletes (the base) is the confidence when there is mind fucking going on to make good decisions - the 3 months cost him on the swim as he did not punch people in there, i.e. did not attack, instead stayed on the fringe..live and learn
some staples/facts - 2x/week 2-3 rep range multi joint slow movements @ fast concentric; 1 CF style anaerobic lactic power workouts and in week -> Z1 swim, Z1-5 bike and run work varied as how he felt

July 25th WOD
ReplyDeleteA. Split Jerk - find your 1RM
B. AMRAP Chin Ups - 5 sets; rest 5 min b/t sets
add total in # of highest jerk to highest # of reps in chin ups as score
RESULTS:
265# SJ + 35 PU = 300 total
Notes: PR on jerk and felt like I had more. Stopped due to missing 255 and 260 once each. Misses due to concentration only.
Disappointed with PU. Last PR was 42. No rhythm and grip went fast.
Bodyweight is 170# and SJ from the back.
ReplyDeleteOnly did one rep per round of t-line drill x3.
ReplyDeleteFastest time was: 9.84
Power Cleans: 165, 175, 185, 195, 205x2

Cleans/run: tried to go really heavy - 165#, 175, 180, 180, 170 (185# is my clean PR). I stalled out at 180 on the last set, so jumped down.
Tosses: 10# dynamax ball - fun times chucking it around!
T-line: fast, reminded me of a keeper drill I used to do for soccer
ReplyDeletePC/Sprint: 205/215/225/235/245(f-1)/225

covp- grip limiting factor.
:40/:40/:39
ReplyDeletePC: 95/95/115/125(1)/125(f)- 125 is a 10# pr
really worked on starts on the runs
Medball toss- 20 for first 2 rds, 14 for last 3
T-Lines - 31/30/29secs but I'm sure the course was smaller then prescribed. Did it inside as it is 107 degrees in Dallas Today.
ReplyDeletePC/Run Litvinov-

Med Ball Toss - 20#
Felt like I would've done better had I had bad 80s techno rock playing in the background like they do in the strongman highlights.
Fun weekend James. Thanks.
A- 31.0/ 30.2/ 29.6 (first 2 of each were fast... 3rd needs 2 b quicker)... measured out with tape measure 2 b as precise as possible...

135 was my prev 1RM.. the pot was hot so I went for a 1 and lifted 150. 15# PR! I'm beyond stoked.
med ball toss used 6kg ball.
took it easy on the t-drill and sprints because of my hip flexor but it felt pretty good.
Had to do Sat workout today before Sunday's workout because yesterday was a much needed off day after that 5k row and prowler work.

SNATCH FELT TERRIBLE!!!
I know it's not good that my Power Snatch PR is 30 pounds over my squat snatch 2RM. Definitely can't wait for my O-Lift seminar(s).
Was not happy with this score. My front squat and pullups felt good just not the Snatch.
Training:
T-Drill: all were between 33 and 35 seconds. Fastest rep was 10.1 seconds.
PC/Sprints:
205-225-240(F 3rd Rep)-230-235
Used 10#,12#,15#,20#,25#,30# Med Balls. Just grabbed them randomly for every rep. Threw a different stimulus in the workout that I really liked. The 30# ball sucked but it made the 10# nothing!
I highly recommend trying something like this.
To anyone from the Carolinas area:
ReplyDeleteLooking for a good O-Lift coach. Already signed up for a USAW seminar and the CF Olympic Lift seminar but I am definitely in need of some one on one coaching. Any recommendations??
:35/36/38
ReplyDelete195/205/215/220/225
6kg ball.
Notes:
T-line was ok, lateral and especially back pedal wasn't feeling the best on the knee.
Power cleans were alright, still shakey again with the knee.
Tosses felt fine, the ball was a little heavy though.
All done on a field, it was nice to get out of the gym but the grass definitely took a bit away from the PC.
Ankle has been bothering since pre games so I skipped the T-drills today and the accelerations.

ReplyDeleteHorrible times, the first two went smooth in each set. During the third rep, it always felt like my legs were going to lock up. Fun drill though and will be using for warm-ups now to improve my time to respectable.
