Hey Coach, rest between part 1 and 2 or just right after another?
ReplyDeleteCoach:
ReplyDeletefor 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.
angelo, prefer 6+ hours
ReplyDeleteGreg, every engine is different but that seems about right - 1:48-1:51/500
Coach
ReplyDeleteI'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
The oringal layout had this week (week 2) as doubles on Tues,Thurs,Fri.
ReplyDeleteAre we still looking at doubles on those days?
PTS, changed based on scoring from this weekend...we'll go doubles on Mon, Tues, Thurs this week to see the Sat scores again...
ReplyDeleteMichael, depends on what you need to improve for the events...what is that and i can help then...
Coach,
ReplyDeleteMy 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
Hi Coach,
ReplyDeleteFor 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.
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!

ReplyDeleteFirst, catching up from Saturday...
ReplyDeleteDone midmorning Saturday:

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:

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.
oh, all squat snatches btw. Felt I need to work stability in bottom, and getting the weight back.
ReplyDeleteA. 60-70-80 kg
ReplyDeleteB. 47,5-51-53 on the minute, then 60-60 kg

C 140,155,155
D 335 all sets
D was very difficult getting outta hole 3 and 4 , glad i stuck with the load
stahl, it means 1 rep x 4 sets for all in that sequence
ReplyDeletewhat 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...

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.

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.

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.

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?
ReplyDeleteA.3x3@200
ReplyDeleteB.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
Brian maier -
ReplyDeleteDon'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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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!

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).

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.

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.
