James -
Thanks so much for all of your work planning different cycles for everyone (sectionals, regionals, games). That was extra and far beyond what anyone would expect you to do. I know that many would agree that we are incredibly thankful and grateful for you. Best of luck to you specifically, and to Joey, DJ, Mike and all the affiliate people competing this weekend. We will be cheering everyone on whether we are there in person or are far away.

Hey everyone. Just started doing the OPT workouts after moving away from my affiliate (Ute Crossfit in SLC). Just one question so far: does James program in rest days like the mainsite, or do you just do those on your own? Also, if so, is he shooting for a 3 on, 1 off or something else?
Thanks!
45 min after today's wod:
trap 3: 20/handx10, 22x9, 25x7
Eat 'em up big dogs. we'll be watching and cheering you on.
Wanted to say good luck to all of the Dawgs this weekend. Lauren, Shelley, DJ, Mike and James go kick some ass in the individual competitions!!! Good luck in the Affiliate Competitions Team OPT and Team CFC, we are all proud of you.

2010 Tech work...fun morning
SO STOKED for the affiliate cup I can't even think straight but I would be missing something if I didn't say a quick thanks to OPT.
I am relatively new to this and am sporadic at best when it comes to posting but I have been following closely and feel stonger, healthier and just flat out better than I ever have in my life. You have helped me and helped our team be as ready as we can be for the games and your efforts are appreciated more than you know.
Sincerely, THANK YOU!
B.
Good luck James, DJ and everyone else competing this weekend. Kick it in the ass!

Good luck to everyone competing this weekend! Kick some ass.
Brandon, I totally agree with you. Huge respect and thanks to OPT for taking the time on this site. Great program.
Have a blast and kick some butt! Big thanks for all the programming work you do here - it's awesome. Look forward to learning more from you in September seminar.

@sheacraig -
Rest days are planned. This week we are on T/W/Th with rest days M/F. James is good about posting a schedule for the next few days, so just stay with what is posted. Some people follow a day or two behind, but post their results on the current day. Hope this helps.
@anon -
A deadlift cluster is 1 rep, rest 10s, 1 rep, rest 10s, etc. for the prescribed number. Today you do 1, rest 10s, 1, rest 10s, 1 rest 10s, 1, rest 10s and 1 - all at the same weight - and then rest for 3 mins before doing CGBP. Change the weight as needed for each 5 rep cluster.

I must say I am exhausted, I have been up at 430am every morning for the past 3 weeks training clients, teaching classes, squeezing in my training at every opportunity, and getting organised; that I think I need to relax a bit. Was unable to complete the workout due to time contraints an general feeling of being tired and achy.
Going away for a long weekend buy the sea...should do wonders!

James,
First of all Good Luck to you this weekend! you are a great inspiration to the community.
I followed your program and it got me too regionals so thanks a ton for that.
I've been following a squat program since then to work on some specifics and I want to pick back up with your training this weekend.
Question for OPT or anyone else..
Should I start with July 3rds wod's when you started this cycle or just pick up this weekend with the testing?
Thanks in advance
Sheacraig - welcome and yes coach programs rest days usually Mon and Friday are rest days but the schedule has been very wonky for the past several months due to everybody competing at different times.
God Damn it I am soooo excited for this weekend and so jealous of everyone that is going - Leave it all out there Dawgs you know you James has prepared you better than anyone out there so go give em hell - oooooooouuuuuuuuu.
I for one cannot wait for there to be ONE training post!!!!

Rd 3 1:56
Deadlifts felt better with each set, but took it easy to be safe. Bench press felt pretty strong. I liked the 3 rds of Power cleans and push ups, grip was getting weak by the end.
Snatch - 89(5), 111(5), 121(4), 131(3)
MU's - 7 unbroken

A year ago today I started doing Big Dawgs training. My 1rm DL was around 300, which I finished today's cluster at. When you consider I wasn't able to follow from Jan-through mid May or even lift weights period during that time, I am very happy. Thanks James for the awesome programming. Also, thanks to all the Dawgs for the inspiration and setting the bar high...something for me to aim high at!
I got my Nutrition series today. Very quick delivery! Heading to the cabin tomorrow through Sunday, so not sure what training I'll be doing.
Tear up the Games, Dawgs! WOOF!

Hill Sprints as Rx'd
Tabata low scores were both 8. I started in the 20's both times and then died hard. I wanted to gas out though rather than pace myself. Back on board after some time away. Good luck this weekend to all of the Big dawgs.

A1. 365, 375, 385, 395. Cut to 4 rds because 395 smoked me. 10s rests aside from reps 4 and 5 at 395, had to take about 15s there.
A2. 215x5, 225x5, 235x5, 245x4. Felt good, probably could've gotten 5 reps on last set but didn't have a spotter.
Part 2: 135lbs for all 3 sets. First two took about 1:26 including 10s rest. Third set was not unb, grip completely gave out and took about 2:08. All pushups unb.

Started Big Dawgs almost a year ago, deadlift PR was 130 kg back then. Finished cluster with 130 today, so fell pretty good about that. Cleans were really challenging. Had to break up the PUs a lot and take sufficient rest, form would break down too badly otherwise.
