    That'd be legit. Definitely going to look into it. I'll keep you posted.

  2. Coach or anyone-
    Running is a MAJOR weakness of mine. Before regionals I did about 2x 20-30 min light runs each week and found that it really helped my leg stamina and obviously my endurance running.
    Should I add these onto this programming or are there any other suggestions on how to best improve leg stamina and running endurance on top of this program?
    Thanks for the tips

    Didn't have much juice today.
    The B was interesting, I would advice to do a fair bit of practise with a bar

    A. Once I loosened up, the cleans got better. Yesterday's halting snatch deads made me realise I wasn't keeping my shoulders slightly over the bar prior to the second pull. I assummed this applied to cleans as well and it felt like the pulls were stronger and faster.

    B. 135 wasn't too bad but I went lighter after the first set to work perfect form.

    C. Felt great!

    3 sets of 4 squats as per yesterday. A bit lower weight than rxd.

    A+B = awesome. C = heavy, might be due to much overhead work this weekend? I am weak at PJ compared to PP and SJ. Also messing with hand position. Greg told me to hold wider and keep elbows lower than I'm used to, this might also explain it.

    Coach, second WOD is eeringly similar to announced WOD at the challenge were entering in Sept (amrap 10 mins of 5/5 KB snatch@32kg, 200m run with 40kg sandbag, 10 burpees). Should we use those movements instead of 400m run and pullups?

  8. A. 155x5 sets
    B. 95/95/10/105/115
    ---> Movements felt very awkward at first. Practiced with PVC prior to movements.
    C. 155/160/175/190/200
    ---> Started off too light, but recovered to hit a PR at the end. Might've had another 5 or 10 lbs in me...

  9. AM
    A - 72.5 kg
    B - 20-40 kg
    C - Up to 90 kg PP, fail PJ. 1.1.1 with 70 kg 2 sets, and 50 kg 2 sets

    A = no probrem. B = poor balance in bottom. C = My shoulders and elbows started to ache, and everything collapsed in the end. This happens sometimes when I stretch and practice overhead a lot, which I have the last few days. Almost feels like a tennis-elbow. Any good rehab-excercises anyone?

  10. A. 67kg all sets
    B. 40, 40, 45, 50, 50kg

    Happy to get the SJ after failing on the PP and PJ on the last set.

  12. A. 165lbs for all sets. Felt very light.

    C. 195, 205, 215, 230, 240 (barely failed P.P. barely completed the P.J. and S.J. but got it!)

    Note: For PM Theres a track with a really thick bar that I may be able to use chin ups for, but it's really thick. Don't know if I'll be able to get 20. We shall see.

    Stopped after 4th set due to the fail. Again.. stronger than I am fast b/c I got the push press and failed the jerk. Everything felt great though- last rep just got a little out in front of me.

    Doing P.M. tonight after classes

  22. Burpees and CU's felt good.
    Run times were 1:28,1:30,1:29,1:30,1:31. Paced the 400m off outside, ran on dirt/gravel.

  23. A) 155 all sets
    B) 75-75-85-95-95

    I misread the way we were supposed to do part C. I built up to my fail on PP THEN started the 1.1.1x5 which SUCKED.

    225-205-205-205-205 many fails throughout on the Power Jerk. Flexibility limits this movement.

    ReplyDelete
  24. part 2:

    did 3 rounds as rxd first with run times: 1:13, 1:17, 1:22
    then with same rest time
    10 burpees, 5/5 KB snatches@32kg, 200m sandbag run@42kg: 2:42 (1:39 "run"), 2:37 (1:33)

    Crushed. Stoked about these cycles. If I don't die from them (totally possible option) it will be the best EVER.

  25. Part I.
    A. 135X2, 145X2, 150
    B. 70,75,80,85,90
    C. 145,155,165,175,190 (5# PR)

    Cleans felt good - focusing on DL then explosion helped a lot (like halting snatch DL yesterday)
    Jerk balance and Tall jerk helped a lot with form - like it a lot
    psyched with PR, especially since my shoulders were tired.

    Part II. (took 20 minute break then did part II because pm is booked)

    1:28,1:27,1:25,1:25,1:23(last one 100%)

    Had very little gas for this, so excited I kept it all sub-1:30. Tried to go hard while maintaining form. Took about 3-5 big breaths btw burpees and pull-ups, then right into the run.

  26. A. Worked up to 185
    B. All @ 95
    C. 205, 215, 225, 235, 245, 255 (on last one did push press and push jerk, then wrists told me to fuck off, I think I had 10 more lbs in me.

  33. PM

    1: Fast / unbroken / 1:20 min
    2: Kinda fast / unbroken / 1:29 min
    3: Not fast / unbroken / 1:39 min

    Last 2 rounds with 23 kg boxingbag for 200 m

    4: Kinda slow / 10+10 / 1:20 min
    5: Slow / 10+10 / 1:24 min

    Ran a small hill, increasingly steeper, with turn-around at 200 m. Fastest time there is around 70 sek so the first round was spot on, but then it went downhill from there...not just at the turn-around.
    Wanted to carry something (1 event in Fit as Fck-comp on 25th) and used my old boxingbag for the last 2 rounds. Forgot my KB at work so I just did more pull-ups.
    Ring pull-ups made that part slow, gave myself a break in the end and skipped unbroken but that felt stupid afterwards. A couple of minutes rest would have fixed that.

    Forgot to write down WOD before I went to the gym. Thankfully I only screwed up A. Should have done all sets at 185#. Will do 2nd part in 5 hours. Drills in B were very helpful with C.

    ReplyDelete
  36. A - 135lbs for all, worked on speed of the bar for power cleans, and speed on the drop for mid-hang cleans

    B - 45x2, 65x2, 95

    balance was off for first couple, then realized i wasnt going wide enough. tall jerk was good, felt quick and solid.

    C - worked up to 205. power jerk turned out to be the hard part for me. would have liked to have tried more but ran out of time.

  39. Monday training, done on 8/23:

    A. 155# x3
    B. 81.5# (1,f,1,1,1); 87.5#x5; 93.5#x5.
    C. 115# x3
    D*. 165# x4

    Notes: Ran out of time at noon session, so D was finished in the evening. B - found the timing at rep 4. 70% and 75% of 1RM felt easy by the end. D. On bottom of squat, I was using my right leg more than my left. This makes sense given my left knee issues (Osgood Slaughter's condition). I'd like to be aware of balance and try to load my legs evenly next time.

    Sore as hell today. Long layoffs do that to me more as I get older.

    W/U:
    KStar MobilityWOD from 8/23
    Walk dog
    Burg W/U

    A. 85/85/95/95/100 - weight was ok, but could have been a little heavier. Worked well to loosen me up the rest of the way.
    B: 95# - good weight here for me for form work. Took a few rounds to settle into the jerk balance.
    C: 135/145/150/155/165 - very conservative about starting weight, but was unsure of my PP capacity (max SJ of 200). Could probably have managed close to 180 on PP at a guess. Shrug.

    Not sure I will get to the Conditioning today. We'll see. If not, I'll eat that elephant in the early am.

    Felt good on part C. my goal was 115 There was a floater workout at the southwest regionals that was 20 shoulder-OH and 40 burpees. at that time i had to split jerk every single shoulder-OH. being able to pushpress 130lb was really cool today!

    Pt 2.
    Scaled to 12 chinups just to keep moving
    400m run with a 200m run turn around
    1:37, 1:43, 1:53, 1:35, 1:37

    1:20,1:21,1:21,1:24,1:19

    Done on treadmill since no pull up bar outside or near 400m track.

    Recovery efforts were excellent as I felt primed for second workout.

  47. michael, if you have done it at that intensity and it has helped it has nothing to do with your engine so keep up as is just do NOT go into anything that makes you feel like you need a PWO meal after...just means that you are improving skill of it which can help once you get the engine up to par...will work alongside this program for you specifically AM on rising...

  48. Hello all, have been following your blog for a while whilst struggling with some back problems that have made me unable to train. Recently I had an MRI done and the results showed a symmetrical bulge of the annulus at L3-L4, a minor annular teat at L4-L5, and a minor disc protrusion at L5-S1. Also There is some facet joint irritation in L5-S1. I was wondering if anyone on this blog has had problems with there back similar to this or knows what can be done about them. I'm hoping to be able to train again at some point in my life so any suggestions are welcome.

    Thanks

    Cleans felt strong and smooth.
    Jerk balance and tall Split jerk were good practice.
    PP/PJ/SJ felt better then they have recently - maybe the practice?!


    Runs felt hard after burpees and pull ups. All burpees were quick and pull ups UB. 4th run was the worst, last one I sucked it up a bit and had someone run it with me.

    Gotta take it easy tonight, very physical day. Biked back and forth from the gym x 2, cut the grass, chores etc...

    pretty unhappy with my numbers, my legs just felt like lead today on the rows. Burpees felt ok and pull ups were all unbroken.

  51. Part 2:

    All Burpees were fast, all pullups unbroken. Run done with a 200m turn around and up hill on the way back. Quite difficult. Only did 3 sets because of hand tears:

  54. @ Micheal, I am right where you are with the running. Even at my fittest, running is a massive chore. Let me know if you find anything out that works.

    Part 2. 1:30, 1:36, 1:42 and done.
    Rested 5 mins and ran just 400 @ 1:23 & 1:22.
    Just like the ugliest child in the world is beautiful to it's mother, this workout was beautiful to me. Very happy.

  55. No part 1 for me as i did clean work yesterday. Snatch work today for me 8x1 hang squat snatch PRd at 90# then 8x1 squat snatch PRd at 100# with PERFECT technique. So as frustrating as my oly training has been i am seeing significant improvement in technique now i just need to build my strength back up and still need to improve speed under bar.

    Did part two about 1.5 hours later

    did first 4 sets of pullups all UB which is HUGE for me as i have not been doing much of these and 20 is close to my AMRAP best so wooo hooo quite happy with that. Last set was 14/6

    Kept all 400m under 1:39 had to bail on the last run as i was feeling a tug in my calf and not willing to risk injury at this point.

    Almost saw pukie after round 3 but held it together. WOW my metcon sucks right now!

    1:55, 1:50, 1:47, 1:45, 1:43...
    200m turn around... first 200 uphill and into the wind gave an added training bonus, felt OK... tried to keep it at 90% and felt better as I went... probably didn't warmup very well...

    Was hoping to keep the runs under 1:40, but legs were tight and heavy after yesterday. Pull-ups and burpees felt pretty good. Tried to keep the rest between the two the same for each set instead of pacing for fear of breaking the pullups.

    legs felt dead from yesterday, which left:

    12/8 on pull-ups in rounds 4 and 5

    No rest between workouts. Had to squeeze them in; I I moved into a new place. Bad sleep last night but didn't feel it too badly. Was I right in assuming that the 400m runs were to be done immediately after the pull-ups were done? Because that "90%" was definitely not my normal 90...

  70. First part at 5:30 AM before work. Took a short nap after work and did P.M.

    Burpees: All fast and unbroken.
    Chin ups: All unbroken except for last set, 16-4.
    Run: 1:33, 1:36, 1:50, 1:47, 1:51

    Notes: Chins done on a thick pipe underneath bleachers. Couldn't wrap thumb around so grip was interesting. Burpees + Chins ranged from 40 - 75 secs.

  71. 1:19/1:21/1:23/1:20/1:19
    Not sure how accurate those times are because I used my GPS watch for distance and had to do a turn around at 200 meters.

    All Burpees fast
    All Pull-Ups unbroken (first 20 butterfly and then kipped the rest)

    Not having hit the metcons much lately I tried reminding myself before each run to expect the hurt and discomfort that would surely com and to embrace the pain and hurt during the run as the objective. I challenged myself to expect and welcome that feeling instead of being surprised by it and letting the quitting part of the mind take over.

    Now the physical part is a whole other ball game right now. I'm one sore dawg!

    "A" was fine. Felt good. Easy.

    Really enjoyed B, especially the tall split jerks. Kept it light and hit it each time. The JB felt kinda awkward though.

    230 is my current PP PR so happy to get that but disappointed didn't hit the jerks, just felt heavy to dip and drive.

    Gassed hard after, starting to feel better now. Happy tomorrow is a rest day.

    C. 95, 105, 110F, 100, 100

    Cleans felt great, jerk balance/tall jerk was interesting. Really felt the drop under the bar I find that with jerks i drop my chest/elbows in the dip and it causes the bar to almost scrape down a bit on my chest causing serious redness/pain.. i need to fix that. it limits me and gets in my head.

    Part 2 (1.5 hrs later)
    Scaled to 13 UB pullups (probably could have done 15ish)
    Sub 400m row for 1st 3 because of hip flexor injury, and last 2 rower was in use so did 2min on the airdyne.
    1:33.6

  106. Guy-

    For starters: age, current symptoms (ie leg pain, numbness etc.), incident and how long ago. Movements that aggravate your symptoms. I don’t know how in-depth you want to go with this but this is what I do for a living so you let me know.

  107. Took an extra day off due to feeling a bit under the weather yesterday.

    Tried coming back today and doing yesterdays workout and re-injured my hip flexor at the bottom of the second snatch. After that couldn't get to full rom without pain so scaled to power snatch.

    SGDL: 185# all 3 sets
    Snatch: 95, 105, 115, 125, 135, 145*

  117. AM (1pm start time)
    A. 120# x5
    B. 65#,70,75,80,85
    C. 135#, 145, 155, 157(pp-PR), 159(pp-PR)

    PM (8:15pm start time)
    1:39, 1:40, 1:42, 1:40, 1:41

    Notes: AM - cleans were confident and solid. 4th and 5th set of B was my best. Was sticking the tall split jerks firmly. A 4# PR for push press at 159#. Was a well chosen set of weights today.
    PM - Runs were 200m out and back. I took 20+ seconds between burpees and pullups on round 1&2. It's that unbroken qualifier that plays with my head, and I feel like I need to be recovered to go into the unbroken movement. I challenged myself to keep the transition to <10sec for Round 3 thru 5. My brain was protesting and panicking but once on the bar, I felt...okay! Found breath with the rhythm of the pullups quickly. This was a learning moment for me, a bit of a breakthrough.

    B: 135 for all
    C: 155,165,175,185

    Cleans felt good, I almost missed the 205. Part B just tried to focus on speed and C just hurt the whole time. I was shot after that. I couldnt do an am/pm so I went straight to part 2 after. Did 3 rounds and stopped, I was just worn out.

  126. Travelled up to Portland/Vancouver and stopped in to visit all my friends at CrossFit Portland and CrossFit Fort Vancouver.

    I ended up doing "Elizabeth" with a friend in Portland. The cleans felt great, but thew dips were a dirrerent story. I was down to singles for the last set. I hope I get that endurance back quick.

    14:45 (full squat cleans)

  127. Ok, so right after I posted this morning, I got over myself, did some serious mobility work, and since it's still raining like hell, and I have a little hand issue, did:

    5 rds:
    AMRAP 2 DU
    Rest 2:00

    53-26-27-34-30 (170)

    I still suck at these, and my conditioning rots, but I think I may keep doing this on the odd rest days in the early am or when I feel froggy on a non-double day.

  128. A: 125,125,125,135,135
    B. Difficult skill for me and it needs lotta work.
    C: 165# x3 sets (time constraint)

    Notes:
    A felt very sharp even with my legs tore up from the back squats with the 2 second pause in the hole.
    B:Need more skill work in this area.
    C: I worked up to a very difficult push press and then started the sets of 1.1.1. Working with heavy weights in this rep sequence is definitely the area I need to hit.

  129. Besser, I'm 18, have been injured for about 8 months, no leg pain or referal down the leg, bending far forawrds aggrevates it and bending backwards feels like alot of pressure on my low back. Lots of cracking in my spine and hips, am currently trying some mackenzie exercises to see if they help. Sitting makes it feel the worst and lying down makes it feel better. Is best in the morning and worst at night.

  135. I saw a couple people reference this yesterday, but for those you are interested in joint mobility and support, check out Kelly Starrett's new website:

    This guy is very knowledgeable and friggin' histerical.

    Tuesday, 8/24
    (From 8/23)
    B. Snatch – 65%x1x5 sets; 70%x1x5 sets; 75%x1x5 sets: 15 sets x 1 rep and more at end; 1 min b/t sets
    (Start at 65% for 5 singles; then 70% for 5 singles; then 75% for 5 singles; these first 15 reps on the minute; If all successful, take up singles gradually AHAP for day, off the clock)

    70lbs x 5
    75lbs x 5
    80lbs x 5
    90×1, 95×1, 100×1, 105×1, 110×1 (5lbs PR)
    Very happy with a 5lbs PR after 20 reps! Need to focus on keeping the bar closer to my body once it passes the knees but today, I shut my mind off and just threw the bar up as aggressively as possible. It kinda worked. Failed the attempt at 115lbs but after watching the video, the bar was high enough, I just have to get faster diving under the bar.

    (From 8/24)
    PM
    5 sets for run times:
    10 burpees AFAP
    20 unbroken chin ups
    Run 400 m @ 90%
    Rest 3:30 b/t sets; (time runs only)
    (scaled to 3 sets) 2:12, 2:15, 2:52 (last set of PUs were not UB and running turned into walking due to cramping)

    Wednesday, 8/25 (had 30 mins before work dinner)
    A. Power clean + mid-hang clean; 1.1 x 5; rest 2 min – 65%
    B. 2 Jerk balance + 2 tall split jerk; 2.2 x 5; rest 2 min
    (light – work perfect positions)
    C. Push press + power jerk + split jerk; 1.1.1 x 4-5; rest 3 min
    (Build up to heaviest possible PP; when fail on PP, try to make PJ and SJ; try to do about 4-5 good work sets)

    A. All at 95lbs, focused on faster elbows
    C. 95lbs, 105lbs, 115lbs, 120lbs, 125lbs (5lbs PR on the PP)

  141. Part 1
    A. 135x5
    B. 65, 85, 90, 85, 85
    C. No bumpers, on the road, kept it safe: 135, 140, 145, 145, 145

    Part 2
    In hotel gym, did horizontal bar row with feet elevated instead of pullups, Treadmill refused to go faster than 6min/mile pace, so runs were 1:30's for all.
