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

  2. 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

  5. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. AM

    A: 65/75*4

  12. 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.

    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.

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

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

  23. 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.

  24. 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.

  26. 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.

  27. 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.

  28. @ 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

    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

    ReplyDelete
  30. @ 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.

    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.

  32. 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.

  33. 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.

  34. 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...

    ReplyDelete
  35. 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!

    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!

    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!

    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).

  58. 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.

    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. :)

    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.

    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"

    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.

    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.

    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.
