3rd piece recommended, it can be home made or bought - non bounce are best - like 3-5kg, no heavier, no lighter; smaller the better fro gripping; the reason is for throwing; we use them in the OPT assessment for data and have found them for backward throws on field highly effective for another method for hip power development

Training:
A1. Push Press/Push Jerk - 2.2 x 5; rest 3 min
A2. Horizontal Ring Rows @ 2020; amrap x 5; rest 3 min
(feet elevated to height of rings)
+
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 rep rounds:
Dips
GH Raises
(take exactly 8 breaths b/t movements)
+
100 GHD Sit Ups for time - 2 hands overhead

there'll be a few more tools, we won't use them for a few weeks for sure; thanks for trying to make it happen

  1. fully agree with adding throwing 2 the mix... feel it's an element of primal fitness and practical strength missing in the crossfit world 4 the most part...
    been doing backward tosses with 16lb shot put 2 work on hip opening explosion... this summer, been enjoying throwing various things in a variety of ways... sure is fun!... can't wait 2 c what's rx 2 come!...

  2. What does 2.2 x 5 mean?

    A1. Push Press/Push Jerk - 2.2 x 5; rest 3 min

  3. Me too has been thinking alot of most CF programming leaving out throwing and rotational movements. I'd love if that would be more widely used.

    Satanbikes have never been sold in Europe (I really tried to find them, even getting in touch with Scwinn about it, the last time they were up on the blog), and I think postage here would be too expensive to get an used one from your side of the pond. Have to do without that part. But a big ass tire should be doable. No idea where to keep it though... Have no garage...

    Dips/GH raises: Deliberately focused on the 8 breaths between movements. Surprised how challenging it was to fight the urge to charge through it.

    100 GH Situps: 6:45
    At the 2:15 mark at 50 reps.

    The worst part of the wod today was when I was fighting the urge to barf with my head in the toilet afterwards and my 3 year old daughter was asking for breakfast the entire time.

  7. YES! At Ute Crossfit we had two of those bikes. One of them had a WAY slower computer, and was nicknamed 'Pegasus'. 50 calories for time on Pegasus should have been punishment for something. I was at about 60 seconds of all out sprint to get to 50 calories, but Tommy Hackenbruck did it in 38 I think.

    I never felt more ill or rubbery than post-Pegasus.

  8. Oh yeah-the thing that is so awful about the airdyne is that

    A.) It's fixed gear, so you are along for the ride if you start slowing down

    B.) The crank rotation is non-circular and seems to have really short arms, or at least it's more awkward because of the strange orbit.

    C.) The giant comfort seat is an insult to your ass.

    D.) Pumping furiously back and forth with your arms seems like it's more for show than anything else.

    These all combine into a very wicked beatdown, very quickly.

    I'm surprised they're so expensive-everyone at our gym would come in and be like, "Wow-My grandma has one of those in her basement".

    I love it!

  13. I've always stuff like 2.2 as meaning that you do 2 reps, rack the bar for 10 seconds, then do the second 2 reps. Have I been doing it wrong, or is that only how you do it if it's a single movement like front squat 2.2.2?

  16. Had a quick question for Coach or anyone who can answer.

    I am looking at taking the Crossfit Olympic Weightlifting Cert in the coming months. Is it requirement or more beneficial to go through the Level 1 cert prior to taking the o-lift cert? I am not looking at becoming an instructor. I just want to take the class to learn the lifts properly. Any other recommendations?

    Thanks in advance

  18. Cody, l1 is not needed prior to oly course...as well as coach B, get yourself into Everett's course as well...the package of the 2 is needed for any athlete...if you are looking to improve the movements for you and not just for coaching, EVERYONE needs to do some private oly coaching...otherwise you'll be left behind

  24. Lars,

    The answer to your question is based on what your goals are, which is a priority, and when the key events take place.

    Prior to falling in love with CF, I was a competitive cyclist. My coach also coached Kristin Armstrong (gold medal time trial winner and world champion).

    We trained in a VERY different time domain but in road racing (less so in time trials) you needed to develop raw bursty speed and power. Therefore, most of the riders would take a 1-3 month period off the bike entirely or very minimal riding.

    I believe the Austrailian Institute of Sport did some work showing that weight training did not pair well with long distance aerobic training and that the strength gains were greatly blunted. Soooo if your focus is a big road race (10k to marathon), then get strong 5 months out then focus on the running while maintaining the strength. If the focus is GPP, the running will likely wear you down and you will not maximize results in either domain.

    I realize the protocol for CF Endurance is likely less volume than I am referring, but the principals still hold. I will see if I can find the articles and if so, will post.

  31. I've been following OPT for about 2-3 months (in stealth mode - hope that's ok). I think it is the best programming out there. I'm still working up to RX'd as I had knee surgery in January. Almost there but either way I love it.

    I'm compelled to write today because I see OPT is recommending 3-5kg medicine balls and I happen to sell these through my business. To OPT's community and the larger CF community, I'm happy to sell them to you at wholesale cost. If anyone is interested, please let me know. You can see pics 6lb, 8lb, 10lb here: http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu13/agilefitness/mb_set_b.jpg

    James, thank you for the awesome programming. I hope you do not mind my offering these med balls here. If so, my apologies.

    Dips/GHRs: 8:56, all unb, 8 fairly deep breaths at each transition. Did bar dips since it didn't specify ring dips, hope that was a good assumption.

    Last WOD watching Joey persevere through immense pain getting doubles and triples when athletes were dropping the bar was inspiring.

    James, thankyou for your personal guidance through the CCP certification and helping guide my team and facility this past year, I feel truly blessed to have met you and to be part of this awesome community.
    The year ahead holds so much promise for insane growth at CFP and I am already itching for a podium finish next year.If you care to watch the downlow I posted on the CFP blog about our experience at the Games.Toooo much to write.

  36. Hi OPT,

    I’ve been following your program (with modifications) in the background for quite some time (I’m loving it!!!) and I’m finally willing to invest in equipment. I have the opportunity to purchase either a rower or an airdyne bike. Which would you recommend? I can’t buy both unfortunately 

    Realizing that my midline likes to break into extension in my overhead lifts. Spent the weekend with Kelly Starrett at his Chasing Performance Seminar. Key topic was about midline stability and identifying not only flexion mistakes but extension mistakes. In an effort to avoid the dreaded flexion mistakes I have patterned the opposite in my barbell movements.

    K Starr suggested going back to basic back squats to a box to work on fixing that pattern. What day during our week would be best to program a box squat day?

  41. Lars,

    Norcal Chris has some very good input.

    I would tell you that James has previously mentioned that this programming is designed to be done alone -- but that individual requirements must be accommodated for as well. The big dawg programming is a protocol designed to elicit broad adaptation. If you have specific goals/weaknesses that would require focus work, do it, but carefully monitor your levels of recovery. If you start feeling extended, don't hesitate to take a day off. The importance of objectivity in your training is paramount... don't trick yourself into working out just to work out. Make it productive.

    Personally I've been able to get stronger and faster simultaneously... but that's because I'm still at an intermediate level (and closer to novice in running) in both areas when the sports are viewed individually. When I was following James' programming strict, I found it hard to add extra work and would recommend concentrating your efforts on it alone until you find yourself recovering well enough to warrant more volume.

  45. Lars -
    As someone who tried both OPT and CFE together for awhile last year, I personally found the volume too much to complete. On days that we had doubles on OPT, it was brutal trying to figure it all out.

    If I had been smarter, I would have reduced the volume of CFE, while keeping OPT on as prescribed. Additionally, the CFE workouts were really good as warm-up work, if I scaled them back. I have used this method to add in some dedicated Oly work with decent success so far.

    Hope this helps,
    Brandon

  51. Eric, you are correct in your last post.
    if it is one movement ie Front Squat 2.2.2.2.2 then it is a cluster as you have done in the past. Most clusters that OPT has posted so far have been in 5's
    Today since it was the two movements Brian was bang on.

    Mimi, I would say that the Rower would be your first choice over the Airdyne as you will see that much more frequently.

    Mack Lar,
    My tire is about 52" diameter x 15" wide. If I had to guess, I'd say it weighs about 300lbs. I just called the local tire recycling place and they were more than happy to let me take it. When you get back you should check with some military contacts (mechanics?) about what they do with the heavy equipment tires. Drop me a line and I would be glad to help you help.

    A2. 10, 10, 9, 8, 7

    Dips/GH Raises: Felt strong, 8 breathes seemed like a lot of recovery

    100 GHDs: 5:44 PR from last time by 40 seconds!

    Went for a 30 minute swim afterwards which helped shake out the tight hip flexors and groin.

    not timed but easy, felt good

    5:02 on GHSU

    Notes: 185 is pretty much my 2 rep max on PP. I tried 195 but failed, definitely could have jerked more. Today was a nice active rest day...sort of.

    A1 PP/PJ: 90/95/97.5/100/102.5kg (226#) - Thought I was going to fail my last attempt but made them all.
    A2 14/11/10/10/10 - Should have skipped, biceps are wrecked.

    GHD/Ringdips: Didn't time but my ring dips felt super human tonight. Very strong on these short sets.

    x100 GHDSU: 4:23

    Notes: Biceps and hands are wrecked from the max pullups 3 days ago. Arm's have been permanently bent at a 15 degree angle unless they are under load. Heh, that can't be good!

    First off, I realized prior starting today's WOD that I had scaled UP yesterday's WOD (by mistake) to 115# HPC. I did NOT need the extra challenge.

    A2. 15, 14, 14, 12, 11

    Dips/GHD raise: Has to break a few set of dips (rounds 7 to 4)

    GH Raises and Dips

    -Not timed but completed as stated

    100 GHD Situps- 5:45


    A1 notes: 175 is my 1rm, felt good today and was able to get the adrenaline going to get that 2nd rep up. Can't wait for my new Nike Romaleos so I can ditch the running shoes and get some drive and balance from the floor.

    Had a lot of soreness coming from my forearm on dips after I completed the press/jerks

    Do not have GHD machine so placed knees on floor and feet under bench for sub.

    First time ever doing that many ghd situps. Used lat pull down machine with flat bench. Felt good and ready to go at it again to beat my time.

    Thanks coach, will be looking into a lot of seminars in the coming months.
