Karen Twamley - OPT client - 66 years young; conquers this one 2x/week

"What you have to do and the way you have to do it is incredibly simple.
Whether you are willing to do it, that's another matter."

Training:
A. Split Jerk from rack - 1,1,1,1,1,1,1; rest 4 min
(after completing your last set of 1 for the split jerk, immediately turn a timer on for 3 minutes and perform as many burpees as you can; jump to touch an object 12" above max reach at top)

post score to comments
(score = highest lift in kg in split jerk + total burpee reps in 3 minutes; if you fail to complete last set of 1, your score is the total of burpees you completed in 3 minutes)

  1. Really sore in the shoulder somewhere, not like in one spot, but everything just seems like it is grinding around. not a bursa issue, i think, because there is not one spot, or movement, but it is everythig that is painful and just not smooth. Mu were fine, i think it came from the OH squat, but came 2 days later, on the rest day, reached for a coffee cup - and starting to feel it, then did a few snatches, stupid, and now it is keeping me awake over night.
    so no idea what will come up tomorrow, but will hit some backsquats later today
    - not really keen on pressing overhead which is annoying, as last got me above 100kg, and felt like there was more.

    Lovely morning session with 1 coffee and 1 banana in my belly. Happy about the SJ but the burpees where slooooow, had a hard time with the extra reach. Going to the woods tomorrow, see you in a few days.

    No rack today and only 205lbs of weight so went for 3RM all PC'd from ground

    185(3)/205(3)/205(3)...felt a strain in my neck around C7/T1 so shut it down

    Still working with good overall balance in SJ. Burpee's to 12 inch target is no joke.

  9. Haven't posted in a while but I'm trying to tag along with the Big Dawg prgramming because it looks like we'll be having a lot of fun and variety. Life and injuries have slowed me down considerably so my only goals are to not get hurt and enjoy my WODs. I'll only post on days that I do the WOD as rx'd as I don't think it's interesting to anyone else to read what I was doing otherwise.

    So today I worked up quickly to a safe 205 on the split jerk and then busted out 32 burpees. Didn't have 12" due to a low ceiling so I touched with both hands, height was around 10". At the firehall so I did some other stuff post-WOD to work on weak areas. Felt like cement in my blood during the burpees.

  11. I'm away without a box to train at so, I set up some boxes to do some depth HSPU's in. Did 5 sets of 3, with going hands right to shoulders (extra deep). Then did 46burpees in the 3 min.

    1hr later, did 2 x hill runs about 3 min each.

    Jerks felt very good. Hip drive was good. PR tie.

    Burpees on the hand sucked real good. The 12" requirement sucked the life out of me.

    With out the last set being required for a solid score I may have gone for 250# on the jerk but...

  15. Missed yesterday and couldn't resist making it up.

    11:31
    - longest set of cleans was 9 reps, longest set of MU was 4. Hardest part was keeping a false grip in order to string MU, but no missed reps throughout. Tried a straight grip for an instant and decided it wasn't happening. Could/should have pushed the pace on the 2nd set of cleans and MU

    Had a great warm up, adding a whole body foam roll to every warm up even if I'm not sore.

    Worked up 235-270lbs(PR) ... happy with this as I haven't hit 265 in a looong time which was my old PR.

    Still had some left in the tank and debated going for 275# but opted for the safe route. First 20 burpees were great then got tired. Overall good day.

    Notes: 280 would have bested the 275 pr I got about ten days ago. Prob should have done 275 or 270 for last set, but I was scared by the scoring system and my failure at 280. Got too anxious and tried to muscle it up and it didn't happen. Felt like I hit a wall on burpees after 20 in the first minute.

    Also, glad I got this one in at all. Was supposed to be in ID for a wedding. Got up at 3:30 with the wife and baby only to find out at the airport 5:30 that our flight was cancelled and we couldn't get out there. Sweet.

    Squat cleans were all singles and slow. The first set felt good but then it got real heavy. First time doing MU without false grip and with rings 6" above reach. I like not using false grip alot better and the only problem I had with the height was when I got off the rings they were swinging all over the place and i had to wait for the to stop for me to regrip.

    I was pissed off so after I did burpees I went back after 4 minutes and successfully completed 100kgs) P.R. by 10lbs from last split jerk 1rm.

    I am traveling in Las Vegas for my wife's grandma's 90th birthday. Yesterday I hit CF Las Vegas and it was one o the nicest boxes I have ever seen. Today I went the other direction and visited Average Broz. This is a down and dirty gym run by the great coach John Broz. I got there an felt like a fish out of water (perfect). Here is all 6'3" 185lbs of me walking into a super small tight space with a kid (pat) who is likely to be in te next olympics. Pat, at 21 is a super nice kid who just hit 190 kg snatch and 220 c&j.

    Well I start "working in" and end up with a pr... In part because everything is in kg and I'm totally lost as to what the pounds equivalent even is.

    John Briz I super soft spoken an on my last set he whispers "you already made 95kg, go up". I think about explaining the wod to him and figure better. At this point the small room seems to shrink and I attempt 97.5. I fail... Am slightly embaraased and run out of the small gym to start my burpees (in full view of the crew inside).

    Spool on burpee #2 in 109 degree heat, I crack my chin on the pavement and start bleeding like a stuck pig for 41 more.

    I head back in and finish up with one of the Dunkin Donuts they have set aside for me (likely out of pity). The wod is over but the ice (and chin) are proverbially broken... I open discussions with the greatest group of guys on the planet.

    I am definitely headed back tomorrow if the wod calls go anything they can accommodate.

  55. Splits jerks felt awful today. The pain I experienced last max effort split jerk day was still there. Coach, Ive been trying to follow your recommendations "do some self releases on the lats of that side as well as active shoulder nervous system work before hand to get those guys working in co-ordination". Perhaps I need more direction because I'm not getting any relief. Very frustrating.
