Hey Coach, rest between part 1 and 2 or just right after another?

Greg said...

Coach:

for pt2: I haven't done 800m splits, but my 2k pr is 7:20. Would a 500m pace around 1:48 make sense here? Thx.

OPT said...

angelo, prefer 6+ hours

Greg, every engine is different but that seems about right - 1:48-1:51/500

Michael said...

Coach
I'm doing the USAW/CrossFit Comp in October. Should I stick with this program until then or go to something more focused on oly lifting.

I know right now I feel like this is perfect but I didn't know if this programming was going to go off the oly focus after this cycle.

Thanks

PTS said...

The oringal layout had this week (week 2) as doubles on Tues,Thurs,Fri.

Are we still looking at doubles on those days?

OPT said...

PTS, changed based on scoring from this weekend...we'll go doubles on Mon, Tues, Thurs this week to see the Sat scores again...

Michael, depends on what you need to improve for the events...what is that and i can help then...

Michael said...

Coach,
My weakness is my jerk and my snatch, I feel good about my clean and the triplet.

Some stats:
Dead lift 415
Front Squat 335
Back Squat 400
Clean 285
Jerk 275
Snatch 195
OHS 285
Press 210

Stahl said...

Hi Coach,
For part B, is that just a dash or is the rep scheme "-1x4"?
If that's the rep scheme, could you please clarify what "-1" means?

If it's just a dash, apologies for reading this way too closely. We have some funky annotations here so I want to make sure.

Mike Perolio said...

Sweet deal. Will it make a difference if I do the Row first? I will probably do on my lunch break because it will be the only time I have access to a rower. I really need to keep up the rows. Have a good workout tomorrow guys!

First, catching up from Saturday...
Done midmorning Saturday:
225
6:14
3:41

Felt like crap this morning... All the factors mentioned in your response to my quetsion, Coach was very palpable during this session. I stayed up way too late the night before watch new episodes of the Kids in the Hall, ate breakfast too soon before training because I was anticipating an appointment at 9 that didn't take that long... Felt like I was rushed the entire morning. Anyway, I had zero explosiveness on any of the movements and I felt like I was just slogging along.

Got my sleep back in order and iced and rolled several times throughout the weekend. This morning I felt so much more in control of the lifts:

A: 195/230/260
B. 125/135/145/155/165/175(F) committed too late to the squat. I was power snatching up to this point.
C. 175/175/175 Felt light and weightless at the top of the pull. Daughter woke up between sets 2 and 3 and I had to break for about 10 minutes. Weight felt slightly heavier when I resumed.
D. 240/240/240/240 Felt very light comapred to last week which seemed oppressive.

Unfortunatly, I'll have to hit part 2 in 12 hours...

BTW, I redesigned my workout log template if anyone wants a copy shoot me an email at:

Martin Altemark said...

A. 70kg
B. 51kg/55kg/58.5kg then 65kg, 70kg(f), 70kg
C. 70kg
D. 100kg

Sloppy on some snatches rendered a miss on 58.5 (made it directly after) and 70kg (also made that up directly). A bit tired in overhead position/shoulders compared to normal.

Snatch pulls felt awesome.

Martin Altemark said...

oh, all squat snatches btw. Felt I need to work stability in bottom, and getting the weight back.

Johan R CF Kalmar said...

A. 60-70-80 kg
B. 47,5-51-53 on the minute, then 60-60 kg
C. 60-70-75 kg
D. 100-112-112-110 kg

BK said...

A. 185 all sets
B. 110 X4,120X4,130X4,140X1,150(F), 150X1,155(F)
C 140,155,155
D 335 all sets
D was very difficult getting outta hole 3 and 4 , glad i stuck with the load

OPT said...

stahl, it means 1 rep x 4 sets for all in that sequence

what class are you in for the comp and where do you fit in for that based on competitiveness?? then we can decide on where you fit best...if you're engine is good enough to get 9 rounds and you feel by spending more time on the oly lifts you can get 30+ more # on each by early Oct then ride that...if you feel you're in the 6-7 rds range, then i'd keep the lifts the same and improve the anaerobic lactic power piece...

B. 100, 105, 115, 120, 125, 130f
C. DNF (tweaked lower back)
D. DNF

Mistakenly, I have thought I could continue with my olympic lifting club during this phase. It meets wednesday and Sunday (our rest days). Too much and I hurt my back.

I will take the rx'd rest days from now on. Lesson learned.

Eric Cady said...

A: 185/195/205#
B: 95/100/105 ---then 135#
C. left out
D.195#

-- will do Rowing later.

A.able to go up 10#'s overall but limited by thumb smash on the hook grip.
B. Did a 1x4 of 135#! which was just recently my 1 RM PR. All the snatches felt smooth and easy. Even the 135 was not bad even w/ my legs pretty torn up from the weighted Cindy the other day.
C. time constraints
D: 195#

Brandon said...

Part 1
A. 225/235/245 (w/straps)
B. 130/140/150 missed one of the 150 so I stopped

D. 275/295/315/325

Brian Maier said...

A: 185,205,225
B: 135x5,145x5,155x5,165,175,185,190(f)
C: 165
D: 225 X 4

Too heavy last time and my form/posture went to hell. So, decided to go a bit lighter on A and C and really focus on technique.

On B, once I get beyond the 145# weight, I have a tough time catching in the squat so did power snatch to finish out.

Chris Dunkin said...

A. 285, 295, 305
B. 135, 145, 155+ 165, 175
C. 175, 205, 225
D. 280

Brian Maier said...

Having a tough time on my second pull on the snatch. My snatch is more like one pull from the floor to overhead. When I attempt to pause and initiate second pull from mid-thigh, I feel like I am losing my power. Anyone else having this problem?

Drew said...

A.3x3@200
B.115x4,125x4,135x4,+145x1,155x1 all done squat snatch, could have gone heavier but not enough time
C.3x5@160
D.4x4@225 done at less than rxd weight to keep tempo, legs were a little tired this morning

greg everett said...

Brian maier -

Don't attempt to pause before the second pull - no wonder you're losing power. That's the same as slowing your car from 50 to 40 so you can go 70. Makes no sense. The first pull is fast and the second pull is faster. Never slow down or hesitate. If positioning is an issue, you can keep the first pull a bit slower, but again, there should never be a time when you slow down or pause.

RE trouble receiving snatches - resorting to power snatching is why you will continue to have this problem. Receive it wherever you receive it and ride it down into a squat.

Paul Smith said...

A: 225, 265, 275 grip started to fail on last set.

B: 145, 155, 165, then 175, 185, 195, 205, 215(5# PR) all squat snatch

D. 315 all sets

Coach I'm in the 77kg weight class. I'm not sure how that stacks up to comp.

Should I try the Triplet tomorrow to see how many rounds I get on it and see how I feel.

I know my Oly lifts are going to improve through the end of this cycle. This cycle seems to be perfect for me.

Martin Altemark said...

part 2:

2:40(1:40avg)/2:44(1:42avg)/2:47(1:44avg)

after 2:47 of rest after third round legs was still cramping up and I called it a day.

Jonathan Thom said...

A. 170 pounds
B. 120/130/135...worked up to 155 (again...ugh. pr is 175)
C. 175
D. 230...crazy difficult with the tempo. Used a bit of a double bounce to get out of the bottom for a few reps in the last two sets. Rested a second to long before a few reps as well.

Jen Osborn @CFN said...

had a very long afternoon break so i had to get both workouts in back2back...

pt 1-

A: 115/120/125lbs
B: 70lb/80lbs/90lbs...for singles...100/105/110 (15lb PRRR!!! :)) tried 115 but im being a puss catching it. I have the weight over my head but chicken out...it will come!!!
C: 115
D: 145, felt more power from the bottom 2day, more than last week and it was lighter!

pt 2-

-enjoyed this one KINDA! felt good keeping the pace, thought id pace the last one slower then kill it at the end buttt that didnt work 2 well ...next time ill just keep the same pace! learned a lesson!

Off Clock (160#,170,180p.r,185p.r)

C: 200#,200,200

D: 240#,240,240,240 strict tempo

Snatches went really well today. Felt explosive in the hips after doing mobility WODS on Sunday. K. Stars new blog is a huge benefit and really is worth the extra time. Back squat went well and was perfect weight for rx'd tempo.

P.M. (3hrs later)
2:52,2:59,3:03,3:06,3:03 (1:50ish pace)

Rowing is a goat of mine especially the longer distances. I believe my pace is on target with 8-27-2010's wod. Legs were not recovered from A.M.

Back from Coach B's cert this weekend and my 10lb snatch PR proved it worked!

A. 215, 225, 240 - up 40lbs from last week
B. 112.5x4,120.5x4, 129x4 then 135, 145, 155, 165, 170, 175 (PR) - all on the minute
C. 165 all sets - a bit too light
D. 195 - Focused on perfect tempo

Felt great today. Rowing in a few hours.

Part 1:

A: 205/235/265 (strapped)
B: 90.5/97/104 (f2nd@ 78% due to loss of concentration, so no run-up... crap!) - other than the one, all reps felt very smooth and fluid today.
C: 125/135/135 (strapped) - felt better than last week, although no run-up on B, so more energy!
D: 230 across - this tempo was more achievable at this weight. I'd have to go pretty light to hold a 2 count in the hole.

Part 2:
1 2:54.6
2 2:55.3
3 2:57.2
4 2:59.4
5 2:58.5

1:48-1:51/500m was a pretty good target. Achievable for the old guy, but tough. Thanks James.

part 2
2:38.4, 2:38.0, 2:44.5

pumped about the snatch PR. I have same problem as Brian with getting under the weight when it gets heavy. Will try to ride it to the bottom as you suggested Greg. With a bit more pull under the bar I should approach a bwt snatch.

Notes: Legs are toast from all this running. Before the last month hadn't done almost any running the previous 4 months. Not sure if any of that was a critical drop off so just pushed my way through.

Part 1:

A. 245 x 3
B. 125x4/ 135x4/ 145x4 off clock 155, 165f, 165, 175f
C. 115/135/155
D. 295x4

Pulls felt stronger today, I think I'm getting used to the movement. Snatch wasn't as strong as last week, I think the speed on my drop was slow.

Erik Luber said...

A. 143, 154, 158.4 (up from 143 last week)
B. 77, 83.6, 90.2 + 101.2, 110, 116.6 (PR), 121 (PR)
C. 88, 99, 103.4 (up from 99 last week)
D. 132, 132, 143, 143

Another great training session. Super stoked about the snatch PR. I have been stuck at 115 for a long time. I can tell that my technique is definitely improving. Think I am close the 60 kg snatch, which is one of my 3 training goals for the year. Last set of D was very challenging.

David said...

A, 220, 243, 265
B. 4 singles @ 113, 121, 130 then 144, 159, 166, 170 F, 170 (pr)
C. 170, 170, 170
D. 4 sets @ 240

Grip is a big challenge on A. The snatch pr felt good, nice and deep, caught in full lockout (I think), it felt much better than the first failed attempt. Part 2 is not happening tonight, not ready for it and I'd rather be prepared for tomorrow's morning workout if it's going to be a double

OPT said...

angelo, you should have stopped after set # 2, losing 27 sec from set 1 to 3 is dropping off

Michael, there'll be plenty of dudes at your weight totalling 250 plus...so take a guess where you are in yours right now and see if there's time to make up lotsa ground or go in tight on what you'll do for the lifts and go guns a blazin for the 10 min'er

I called it after four rounds, I felt a 10 second drop was critical. At least it felt critical to my lungs and legs.

Looking at a video of my snatch, I still don't get my hips to full extension before I start to pull under the bar. I assume that when I am able to fix this the weight will start to go up.

Also, I can't say what an honor and privilege it is to have both James and Greg involved here. To be able to read the thoughts and learn from two world class coaches is a huge opportunity for all of us. I can't thank you guys enough!

Don't know if it matters for record keeping but I failed to mention in earlier post that all snatches completed were squat.

2) 2:59.6
3) 3:01.7
4) 3:05.7
Felt the cliff coming so I shut it down @4 sets. Legs were toast - lungs could take more.
Is a 7 second drop off enough to stop? My body said yes to stop but I know I can dig deeper if I have to, but I don't know if it is always necessary to get better results.
Ideas here?

B. 120/130/135...then off clock 155/175/185(f)
C. 185x4
D. skipped b/c of knee pain

Notes: I'm really feeling the snatch and see what I need to work on. My setup is good, first pull is strong with good posture. I've developed good speed through middle and a good high elbow third pull. What I'm lacking is a good receiving position. I'm finding on the heavy weights getting down with too soft of a position and not riding it down like Coach Greg said.
-Freaking love the snatch though! Thanks so much to James and Greg for what you are offering us. This is so much fun and I'm learning so much from you guys!

Notes: Rowing is a challenge but this wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I new I didn't have it on the 4th set. I am pleased with my times.

Again, thanks for the great coaching.

Paul Klein said...

Here is a video of my 145lb snatch. The battery on the camera died after this one so this is the highest weight that I was able to capture (I hit 160 in ahap).

All help is appreciated.

My sqt snatch feels fast/easy until i get to the bottom of my sqt. I drop the weights at the bottom of my sqt( I think when I start to stand). I feel like I might have a "soft" core or shoulders at the bottom.

Did not have time for part 2.

I could not post last week but I have all my weights/ time. Will post tomorrow.

stopped here as i was feeling sluggish, tired and unfocused. this upcoming week of work is going to suck and i won't have any time to work out (out of house at 6am back at 1130pm) so i might just take the rest of the week off to rest and restore. i think i need it.

B: Snatch: Rounded up to nearest 5kg
65kg
70kg - Wow, the notch set in on the catch on this.
75kg - Nailed them!
80/85x/85x/90/95/100x/100x/100kg (220#) - OUUU, PR!

C SnPull: 90/100/110kg (242#)
D BS: 130kg (286#) - All Sets felt good.

Failed both of my 85kg and 100kg snatches with bar falling behind me. I was overpulling the 85's for sure. I wasn't going to attempt another PR today but mid workout, that all changed. I wasn't scared to dive under the bar. The knee's are bloody but I remain unbroken.

Part II: on the way.

I think I''m just going to stick to this cycle Coach. I feel like both the lifts and triplet could improve but this is a great mix for that. I feel pretty confident I can get over a 230 total which isn't outstanding but will hang. Hopefully I can kill that triplet. Squat Cleans, Pull Ups, and Double Unders are all good for me.

Thanks for the help Coach let me know if you disagree and think I should change to PerformanceMenu. I saw where that program is planning to peak for the Competition weekend.

Really liking this work as it is forcing me to correct a lot of bad habits by breaking down the various parts of the lift. I struggle between the balance of focusing on good technique vs. overthinking the movement so hopefully breaking it down into pieces will work. Biggest focus area right now is 1) making sure the bar stays on legs till above knee for the redip and 2) getting more aggressive diving under the bar.

My boyfriend asked me this weekend, "If for some reason, 2011 Games were the very last Games you could compete in (for whatever reason), what would you start doing differently today?"

After some pouring down of thoughts on paper and some really really great conversation, I've refocused and recommitted myself to being the best version of me, starting now.
