Man consists in what he thinks and what he loves and there is nothing else in man. If these two grand parts of man, the will and the understanding, be separated it means insanity, disorder, death.

ReplyDeleteWould you rather the jerk be from in front or in back?
I'm used to "from the rack" meaning a rack jerk (behind the head position).

Jerk is 15 lbs under my best, 241 felt good but ran out of time. Did 3 sets in first 3 minutes then 1 effort every 3 minutes with the last effort at 11:50. The CTB's felt great, the burpees not so much. My target was 13 1/5" to the flooring between the joists in my basement gym. The run, slow as it was, felt better than my running in the recent past. Looking forward to some rest.
I have an older airdyne and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to keep track of calories for the WOD's?
ReplyDeleteHere's a (WFS) link to a monitor like the one I have :

DNF... two workouts in a row for me. I bailed on PM yesterday. Today I started building on the jerks and on my last effort at 265 as I unracked the bar I felt a really bad tweak in my neck and was done.
ReplyDeleteThis is the 3rd or 4th week in a row of me having a really crappy friday and saturday of workouts. Poor sleep towards end of week and spotty nutrition.
Very disappointed and frustrated.

ReplyDeletePart II. 6:44.... Bull Shit Time. Was getting talked to between

Part II. 3:05 for a 860m Run (GPS Watch)
Pretty happy with happy with this. minus the Couplet.
The Jerk Felt Pretty Solid. A little stick in the last part of the press but my hips went a lot more forward. (Thanks Coach Greg and Coach James for the Jerk Balance)
I had my dad, brother and everyone else come and talk to me. I restarted it after the first time someone came out and was on like 13 C2B Pull ups. Burpees where not as fast as I would have liked. Still working on my better pull up bar. (Currently use a rig like the Rogue mobile pull up bar)
The run was good. It was my block and it came out to just around 860m. The last portion had a slight hill in it and then kicked the last portion out to the finish.
Also Great job everyone!
ReplyDeleteHello to all of you,
ReplyDeleteI never properly introduced myself in my first post or gave any stats as I saw others have done and I wanted to give a little more info about myself.
I am 5'5, 140lb, and have been doing CrossFit for 2 yr. I started when I was living in Maryland in 2008, continued last year when I was living in Vancouver for 2009, and am now back in Maryland permanently following the blog. Not sure if you want to know any other specifics, but I am excited get to know everyone and join in this training.

This was a great week. I love the programming. This is only my third time posting, but I plan on jumping in all the way with the Big Dawgs. Thanks for the wonderful programming, OPT. Looking forward to being a part of all of it. Hopefully I will see you at a CCP soon; maybe in Florida, as it is close to TN.
*came back after coaching some members this morning. motivated by their efforts so I did their workout. an hour later i felt ok to do C2B/burpee
ReplyDeleteC2B rx'd (had to redo 3 reps on final round of 9)
Burpee without 12" jump

*neck has loosened up a little bit but still is very stiff. Strange experience. literally I unracked 265 and stepped away to jerk. didn't make it but 1 second and my neck totally spazed and tweeked.

ReplyDeleteB. 5:59

The burpees were brutal, 21 and 15 took me way too long. Jerk felt great and the run has always been a struggle with me. Great day, glad it's over.
1. 165 lbs (tied PR)
ReplyDelete2. 5:09
3. 2:59
Really happy about todays results. First time in a long long time since I have felt that extra punch. Split jerk at 165 felt very smooth, no press out, fast and deep. With more time think I could hit 170. For CTB/burpee thought I would be more in the 6 min range, based on my performance from the last big dawgs comp. Did all the PUs and burpees unbroken today. This made a huge difference, not getting on and off the bar saves a lot of time. Also missed 2 burpees on the last round, could have got sub 5.
In the last week I have been playing around with my fueling. Eating the same stuff, but quite a bit more. I think I have been pretty underfed for a long time, given the volume/intensity of training we do. I definitely feel more energized than I have in a quite a while.
1) 235lbs (255# PR set 6 weeks ago before hernia surgery) didn't feel comfortable going any heavier today
ReplyDelete2) 5:49 - CTB's killed me
3) 2:39 - felt good
4 1/2 weeks post surgery and it feels great getting close to max effort again. Should be at 100% by end of September for the OPT Championship.
Jerk- 265
ReplyDeleteCouplet- 4:53
800- 3:23
Frustrated with the jerk. Max is 275 which is still not great considering my press is 210. Really hoping this next 3 weeks improves my speed a lot.
Run could have pushed harder. Rested about 20 minutes waiting on partner to finish and ran another one in 2:58
OPT or anyone I think I'm going to be doing the USAW/CrossFit event in October. Are we going to stick to this type of training until then b/c if so I think It's spot on for what I need.
If not do you recommend me stick with this or go to Performance menu or my own programming just focused on oly lifting.
Thanks

C2B were absolute crap and felt like a$% strung the first 11 together then totally fell apart was the major limiting factor. Definitely noticing my lack of gymnastics/strength/and metcon training.
Run felt good and fast turns out my GPS stopped after 330m so went out on route with my bike after and it turns out it was 920m so my time was pretty respectable i think.

Did this at my little brother's college gym. Good set-up for the jerk with a nice platform, but the other stuff was kind of an s---show. The bar we used for C2B was so low that it was hard to get a bunch of consecutive kips. Had to do the burpee touches on the wall, so rhythm was way off. Part 3 was on a treadmill, and I probably ran closer to 1300m because two machines failed from my big ass plodding on them.
Pumped about the jerk, though. Still a long way to go pound-for-pound-wise, but it's a step in the right direction.
245 pr, could have done more but at globo and didnt want to drop it.

ReplyDeleteShut it down there because I have felt a cold latest couple of days, and it became more apparent during A. Hopefully this is the cause of weak lifts this week.
Due to increased Brazilian jiu jitsu training I haven't been able to do all the trainings lately.
ReplyDeleteI did "Cindy" with my group class yesterday to help push the class and lead by example. I did it with a 22.5 pound weight vest and I PR'd by 4 Rounds from 6 months ago! 14-18.
I am positive that the OPT training pushed me to the next level - thanks all!! My weakest link is still the push ups.
I can't wait to attend the Program Design Module in Sept. to learn more about this so I can help others move forward more consistently, as well as compete/meet other Big Dawgs at the event.

This week must have really taken its toll on me. Had little drive in my hips and just couldn't lock out or solidly stabilize my spine to even get my previous PR of 245#.
Been working on incorporating butterflies into WODs so I went it.
The run sucked but runs usually do for me. Time is with turn arounds every 200 meters.

A) 265# pr by 20#(poor time management, too light in the begining and tried to get to many heavy reps in late)
ReplyDeleteB) 4:29 Absolutely no gas on burpees, need to work on the jumping aspect. No excuses, very dissapointed.
C) 3:05 Happier with this finished strong on the day.
Completed on sun, used sat as rest day, family commitments....
Had to do it a day late, was busy yesterday.
ReplyDeleteA. 251 lbs (PR) Felt like it might have been a slight pressout though
B. 7:10. Broke pullups 15/6, 7/4/4, and unb for 9. Burpees were slow.
C. 3:01. Legs were very sluggish after the burpees.
1. 225 (PR)

Jerk really disappointing. Wasn't sure if we could go from behind the neck or use a split so just did jerk. Pr is 225. having trouble getting under heavy weights. I need work on overhead movements
- Worked up to 125lbs with rack split jerk in 5 mins, stopped there to take it easy on back. Felt great though. Then spent the rest of time at 95lbs split jerk.
ReplyDelete- 10:09, struggled to string any CTB together till set of 9 which were UB, had to rejump to the 12″ marker 7-8 times.
- 3:32
