For the mid-hang snatch on B, does it matter if it's full or power? Thanks!

OPT said...

angelo, if it was written power snatch + mid hang power snatch you cannot squat it..the way it is written, it depends on what you need to work on, i'd squat it...others who need to work on full ext might not...and as the set goes on...adjust as needed

Poly said...

Awesome video, thanks a lot to both you and the catalyst guys for getting that put together for us.

Angelo Fosco said...

Awesome. Thanks for the quick response and the video coach!

Geoff Aucoin said...

Great great video!

Larry Pastor said...

Hi Coach,
Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Larry and I train out of Crossfit Silicon Valley in San Jose. I've been doing Crossfit for about 2 years now, and my goals for the next coming year are the following:
1. Increase my clean and jerk to 225lb.
2. Get my snatch to 175lb.
3. Break the top 100 at the 2011 Norcal Sectionals.

Here are my stats:
Height: 5'5"
Weight:152lb
Crossfit Stats:
Fran: 2:52
Grace:3:38
Isabel: 22 minutes plus
Helen:8:20
Crossfit Total: 825lb
FGB:310
Filthy Fifty:28 minutes(starting at box jumps, ending at double unders)

Anyways, just started following your program this week and plan on doing so for the next month. Prior to this, have been doing mostly mainsite programming. Decided to start following your programming because it seems like programming which will address my weaknesses( general strength, olympic lifting) while continuing to improve my metcon and GPP. Thank you for making this programming available on the web. Will start posting my results soon.

DSC Staff said...

Extremely useful material in that video, thanks for taking the time to put that together.

Thurs programming: Done 8/26/10 in evening

A. 185#x3
B. 115#x5, 123#x5, 131#x5.
off the clock, 140#/150/160/170/180(PR by 5#), 185-made clean, failed jerk.
C. 167# x3 sets, with straps
D. 160# x5 sets.

Notes: C. felt really balanced when I squeezed glutes rather than hyperextend the lower back. This is a nice form correction for me to concentrate on.

Martin Altemark said...

AM
A. 35kg, 40kg, 40kg, 35kg, 35kg
B. 50kg
C. 50kg, 60kg, 65kg, 70kg

Muscle snatch really shows how slow I am at the turnover, and bad at getting elbows up. C was hard on wrists, no chalk and bars with bad structuring did NOT help.

David said...

A. 40, 45, 50, 55, 60kg
B. 5 sets at 47kg
C. 60, 70, 75kg

A felt good as well as B. C's only problem for me is lowering the bar to my neck on the presses. Not seeing the bar as it lowers kind of messes with me. Last year I had a heavier weight slide off my shoulders, it was during the summer, no shirt and I was sweaty. The bar contacted my shoulders and slid right down. Slight tweaks but thankfully nothing worse, don't want to revisit that.

PTS said...

A. 75,85,95x3.
B. 100 lbs x 5
C. 95,95,105,105

Had same issues as Martin with C being extremely hard on wrists, especially the OHS.

Pfeifdog said...

AM

A: 65/75*4
B: 140
C: 95/105*3

I need to work on shoulder flexibility, right shoulder felt weird during C

Bear said...

Aug 26
A - 70 kg
B - 40 kg x 1 set, 50 kg x 2 set
C - 70 kg
D - 70/70/80/90/100 kg

Catching up. Still a bit snotty and sick but wanted to practice technique. At the end of the session I felt pretty good and increased the FS.

Angelo Fosco said...

AM:

A. 115, 120, 125, 125, 125
B. 115 for all sets
C. 165, 170, 175, 180 (Failed holding the 2 seconds on the bottom of the 2nd and 3rd OHS), 165

Everything felt fast and good. OHS felt shaky at 180, but still not bad.

Jen Osborn @CFN said...

veryy early wod for me 6am! not 2 bad after i stopped for some coffee!!!

kept everything VERY light! worked on form and being quick...think thats way more important than trying to get the weight up.

A. 65lbs. felt stable
B. 65lbs.
C. 65/70/75/80 started to feel unstable with the last set.

pm session at 11am ...excited for this one!!!

mhamilton said...

AM
A. 85,95,95,95,105
B. 95x5
C. 135x4

Mid hang snatch in full squat is a great movement for me to work on.

Eric Montgomery said...

"I'm using 20 kilos, it's about 50% of my best jerk"

Whoa now, let's not push things.

Steve said...

AM

A: 95/95/110/110/110
B: 135 for all 5 sets
C: 135 for all 4 sets

*My right shoulder was feeling tired and sore from yesterdays clean and jerks so I kept part C light.

joey warren said...

I thinnk this question has been asked before but I dont remember seeing an answer, is the snatch push press from front or back?

Alex Duncan said...

AM

A. 95, 100, 105, 115, 127.5lbs

B. 107lbs all sets

C. 115, 125, 130, 135 Started too light, 135 felt easy

rwcorson said...

Awesome to have Greg helping out. Great vid.

Brandon said...

Joey -
Greg/Catalyst have these done off the back...Coach Burgener does as well working pushing the bar straight up in his warmup/cert.

Here is the link to the demo vid on Catalyst's site: http://performancemenu.com/exercises/exercise.php?exerciseID=89

Hopefully, I'm correct and this helps.

Chad Hall said...

AM (7:30AM)

A: 75 across
B: 115 across
C: 115, 135, 135, 145 ... did 155 but failed on the OHS

Notes:
Really happy with the P.Sn. as I felt the effects of the Halting DLs come into play, pulling more into "benis" now. PP and OHS were ok, shoulder kinda wonky. Overall happy with the work/progress on technique.

PM (10:30AM)
Would have preferred about 5+ hours of rest to refuel properly but due to circumstances had to go early. Kept track of meters for my reference.

1. 482M, UB
2. 464M, xxx
3. 453M, UB
4. 453M, UB
5. 449M, x
6. 444M, UB
7. 458M, UB

DUs were tough after row, but kept to prescribed rest time and battled through them.

Erik Luber said...

Brent Maier said...

OPT/Greg/Dawgs, taped yesterdays C&J's in hopes I get some critique on drills I need to work on to improve jerk technique and strength. Honestly, my arms don't fully straighten so I'm always fighting a lockout. Maybe it's because of a lifetime as a martial artist and throwing punches just shy of overextension. Maybe it's just an excuse, honestly, I don't know. Sorry for the overly dramatic 130kg clean. I was spent from the workout and was holding on by a thread.

DAVE X said...

Question coach.

I generally train at 0445 daily and recently as it's remained darker longer in the morning, I've been having more difficulty getting fired up for my training as usual.

I've played around with shifting my training sessions when I'm free, but I enjoy the consistency of those am work outs.

I've read Lights Out and the Primal Blueprint, and I was wondering what your experience has been with your clients in similar situations.

Thanks.

DX

Coach said...

@ Brent Maier

The first thing I noticed in regards to your jerk is that your back foot is planting flat instead of on the ball of the foot. This is a much weaker/awkward position then landing on the ball of your back foot.

Just my 2 cents

Jon Sinclair said...

A. 30, 30, 32, 32, 35
B. 45, 45, 45, 50, 50
C. 40 for all

I don't know if I'm the only one, but the snatch push press causes me a lot of pain in my shoulders, and I even have pretty good mobility and flexibility in my shoulders. If anyone has any recommendations to what I might be doing wrong, I'd appreciate it, thanks

Coach said...

@ 1:33 instead of dropping underneath the weight you pressed out. I believe this is cause by that back foot being flat instead of on the midfoot. You aren't able to drop like you should because it limits the ROM of your Jerk.

Michael said...

A. 95, 105, 115, 125, 125
B. 125 all sets
C. 145, 185, 195, 205

Felt good today, after seeing the hip flexor mobility drill on KStar's blog yesterday I think that is a big problem to why my pull is a weakness and also my running. Plan on making that I priority to stretch that out.
Doing P.M. in about an hour

Stahl said...

Hey Larry,
Welcome to the blog. I'm in the bay area as well, but my affiliate just informed me I can't do OPT's programming any more because, and I quote, "People see what you're doing and want to do OPT too because of all of the PRs you're hitting. I don't want people thinking my programming is shitty." That little pearl speaks for itself, but my question is:

Does CF SV (Judd and Michaela I believe, right?) let you do OPT's programming in their box? If so, what times do you train? I officially need a new place to train so I can stick with this blog.

you can e-mail me at stahl07@yahoo.com.

Paul Smith said...

Don't have time to do two today so I chose the one that I am weakest at.

PM:
Row: 496m, 468m, 426m, 423m, 432m, 432m, 443m

DU: All sets broken

Row started out at about 95% but on the fifth set I was determined not to let my distance drop anymore and was going as hard as I could.

DU: I still suck at these. Going to start using these as a warmup to practice stringing together unbroken sets.

OPT said...

Dave X - if you can handle it over time and it does not put too much of a tax on your subsequent sleep next night and energy in day i'd suggest sticking to it...for me, it was 3:55 rise, hit it at 4:30 am for 4 years straight + noon and some PM wods as needed - it builds discipline but as mentioned before here's the ticket - I was 100% on recovery, food,etc...miss it by a hair and you're fucked....
optimally CNS and hormones are set up for anabolism later but when you compete or train on weekends try another time in day and see if you ave an uptick - then use this as a secret weapon (secret no more i guess) when competing..

Michael, we'll figure something out

Brent, there are many things...i think knowing you, you'd best be served by following the program as rx'd over the next few weeks...and while in it as you're trained now...focus on technique ONLY - this sport is a serious skill based effort, and you'll remain at 125 kg for the next 3 years unless you fix the 8 things needed to work on (that we'll do in the phase) - so do the wods as rx'd and back off on weight - work the tech and speed and get the stuff perfect...foot speed, patience in standing up for 2nd pull, strength in midline, breathing, set up etc...

Bear said...

Brent, I have the same problem with locking out. Jerk balance and tall jerk, adviced to do I have been. Good lifts, strong you are!

Michael said...

Coach I have a picture of Unit and I and the Garage Games. Do you want it? if so where do I send it?

Not a lot of pop in the hips after yesterday. Weights were about right for A and B, but undershot C. Should have been good for 155, maybe a bit more. I hate that.

Brian Gregory said...

Just realized we are allowed a press to finish on the muscle snatch. I was trying my best to not press it. Should have watched the video to refresh my memory.
Def could have gotten a little more weight.

Matt Morales said...

Martin Altemark said...

Chad, paul - great rowing
Brent - brother, you're STRONG!

PM, done as partner WOD for meters with my lovely wife. We set rower on 1:30 work, 40s rest and took turns. Turned out 30sec for DUs only worked first 2 rounds - figures.

We did 5677m in total (14 rounds) - and had fun doing it together!

My rounds were: 474m - unb, 455m - unb, 434m - x once, 424m - x twice, 417m - x twice, 410m - x thrice, 422m - unb

Hard to continue after three rounds. This one had me struggling! Thanks Coach!

Going camping this weekend, won't be able to do Saturdays WOD. Going to hit #2 today before we head out of town.

Thanks for all the comments. I haven't had time to read them all yet but Krazy, you point something out that I didn't realize I was doing. Flat back foot on the split. It's more like a taekwondo front stance. I am back to the drawing board. I'll know I'm there once I'm able to double the result with half the effort!

visting at ucsb and unable to find a gym with equipment/permission to do the wods/olympic lifting for the past couple days, but days of doing nothing and visiting with my friends has been a great change of pace from wods!!!
hopefully ill find somewhere for tomorrow

über Bania said...

From Monday Aug 23, 2010
Playing catch-up from moving back home and getting situated, and bouncing between mainsite and OPT, liking both so much.

(in lbs)
A. 135x3, 225x3, 275x2 + 1 wide over/under grip (no chalk or straps)

B. 125x1x5sets, 135x1x5sets, 145x1x5sets, stopped, didn't want to go bigger and upset the other gym goers at Gold's.

C. 135x5, 155x5, 175x5, all up to chest, felt good except the last two at 175 were a little strained.

D. 225x5, 235x5, 245x5, 255x4+1 after a second pause at the top. Buuuuurrrrnnnnnnsss.....

(E.) Skipping Jump Rope, 1000 unbroken, 6:15 (left-left-right-right, etc).

(F.) AMRAP 10 Double Unders 10 Cross Double Unders for reps. 34, 37, 51, 11, 55 (188 total).

Wanted to do some rope work so I played around with the jump rope a bit.

7. 450/ 2:11/27

Happy with row consistency but DU trips unacceptable.
solid sesh .

David said...

PM

All rows and DU done strict to timing. The rows were definitely 95% effort, perceived though, not absolute. 4 Rounds of DU were unbroken, the others were 2, 3 and 4 efforts. Played soccer at lunch as well.

Greg said...

Double me:

AM:

A: 75x2/80/85x2 - SB a bit awkward, but improved thruout
B: 88# across - one MHS fail, an extension issue
C: 95/100x2/105 - 3's OHS was an issue. Need to work here. PP was easy.

PM:
Distance rowed/ rd total time:
1. 441m/3:02
2. 422m/3:03
3. 417m/3:19
4. 409m/3:15 - rows started to get rough here.
5. 410m/3:27 - some DU challenge
6. 399m (wussed out)/ 3:20
7. 406m/3:35 - just plain tired.

This was tough. DU were tens early and 5's late. Struggle to maintain when I can't breath. :)

Back very tight after afternoon session. I will be smelling "minty-fresh" for bed! LOL

Stahl said...

Got in AM:

A. 65,70,75,80,85
B. 107 for all
C. 135 for all

No PM b/c I had to do the affiliate WOD:
Row 500m
4 rounds of 3 cleans 205#, 10 WB
Row 1000m
2 rounds of couplet
Row 1500m
1 round of couplet

Rooney beat me by almost 5 minutes. A good send off to NY - enjoy yourself bud. We'll miss you.

Lars said...

I'm at work today and didn't have the proper weights to do the first part, I'll try to catch up tomorrow.

Part 2

7 sets of row/DU's

435 + UB
434 + UB
434 + UB
428 + UB
435 + UB
431 + UB
432 + UB

That was tough, but perfect for combat training. The rower I use is a 1986 model, and I think a little less efficient, because my split time always seems higher on it then the newer ones at the gym.

All snatch work felt good and solid - my technique is improving immensely. PP/OHS good except for sore wrists.. Should have warmed them up more.

Row/DU sucked, but I liked it. My recovery in the 10s between row/du was poor, but I'm pleased with my results.. rowing is not a strength of mine.

It's been 4 weeks since hernia surgery and I'm finally able to lift unrestricted. I've been easing in the last 2 weeks with high rep metcon stuff. Today's workout felt great.

A. 95,105,115,125,125
B. 125,125,130,135,140
C. 95,115,135

Could have snatch pressed more on C but OHS limited me. Definitely needs work.

This was mentally an extremely painful WOD. I hate rowing so it was great to be able to stay above 400 the entire time. DU's were a pain in the ass. Thank God they weren't UB!

Must work on my wrist flexibility because this is definitely my defining weakness in my OHS. Once I improve on this I will be able to focus on my lifts instead of hiding in my "pain cave"

Glad I could help brother. Good Luck!

First Oly lifting done without the watching eye of my coach so video taped it to see if i was doing my old "habits" or not. video looked good and lifts felt really good quick easy and form felt good although i am not sure my elbows are getting high enough. My comfortability in the squat is soooo much better. I did notice a quite significant height difference on the bar when overhead with the right side being quite a bit higher???? Part two maybe later or tomorrow.

Cut to 4 rds. 483m, 460m, 464m, 441m. Total times were 3:21, 3:02, 3:10, 3:12.

Notes: Parts A and B weren't too difficult, kept it light and focused on form. On last set of part C the bar slipped off my shoulders when I lowered it from PP#2 so I had to clean it back up, do the third rep of PP, then OHS for 3 reps.

PM stopped being fun in a hurry. Couldn't link more than 6-7 DUs together to save my life.

My freaking thumbs are killing me from all the hook grippin' I've been doing this week.

Felt pretty good with everything today. I am most happy lately with my third pull on snatch and clean. Shot some more good video from profile and reviewed it at 1/4 and 1/8 speed. Looks like I am hitting my marks with good extension and layback.

Strange times! The row went south pretty fast but I am very happy with the DUs. Very broken but they are finally improving. To get them when I'm gassed is huge. Cut it after 5 sets as my calves were dying again.

Thanks to you both for this video and this programming. I really need this kind of work. Noticed the same thing filly did on B: hip opening/ext was much better in power than in mid-hang. Prob could have started/ finished heavier on C, but not by a whole lot.

Def will miss having Stahl and a Besser to workout w--and chase--in CA, but pumped about joining up with the dawgs out in the tri-state area. Bein Brooklyn for good on thurs.
