3 on for this last split; then 2 days off then on an increasing plan till mid Sept
Greg Everett will be teaming up with the Big Dawgs and working on some weaknesses for some programming over the next while
OPT- I have the survival of the fittest this weekend and I was planning on resting til then BUT Dead Lift is relatively my weakest lift so I feel like I need this.
ReplyDeleteShould I do this workout or just hold off until after survival and pick up then, I know Deads are very taxing so just let me know your thoughts please.
Thanks
Michael, skip it, instead do 10 sets of 3 reps @ 11X0 tempo @ 55% of your best DL 1RM + chin up, sit up, push up practice for speed

ReplyDeleteGreat to hear about Greg E! Martin Altemark, a few other swedes and I are going to the Greg E-seminar in Denmark this weekend, looking forward to it! :)
ReplyDeleteBut this brings me to a similiar question about the deads. Should we go for gold this session or take it easy and do the 55%-lifts? I guess there should be some heavy lifting this weekend, but at the same time it´s not competition. Deads are not a weakness for most of us (comparing to other crossfitters). Thanks!
Congrats to Emilie!
Excited to hear that Everett is going to be working closer to this programming. I'm actually about to move out to San Jose - does this mean he'll be amenable to me doing OPT on my own in his gym, rather than O-lifting or their crosstraining classes?
ReplyDeleteQuite a bit behind on workouts, due to some vacation time in Lake Tahoe. I did Saturday's wod, but not prescribed on du's because my right knee has been bothering me, but getting better, and I didn't want to push it too hard.
ReplyDeleteA. 95, 115, 125, 135, 145
B. 12:08 beginning to string more together. Unbroken till set of 7, with 10 breath rest between, and then went slow from there.
C. Did 5 sets of du's in 4:32, then knee issues.
I have definitely seen an improvement in hspu's and snatch, which I felt I could have added another 10 lbs to the last set.
A LOT harder than I anticipated. I guess I should get used to saying that by now...
ReplyDeleteIt feels like its been a very long time since I deadlifted.

Stoked to have Greg on board! I'm a big fan of the Performance Menu and I actually had a subscription to that even before I bought the CrossFit journal. Doing CRossFit for three years now, I've gone back and reread some of the older issues and there are some (a lot) of articles that didn't seem relevent to me at that time, that seem completel vital now! I highly recommend it!
Congrats Emilie!

old PR was 442 so everything above that was a new PR. I don't think PR's were the goal of this WOD but everything felt light even the last PR so I kept going for it.
Does anybody use a belt for DL's or squats? I don't use one but was just wondering how many did.
Can someone tell me if this is a model of an airdyne?? Thanks

I'm wanting to start the OPT-CCP Coaching Process. It's going to be a slow process due to funds.
ReplyDeleteOPT or any other guys/girls who have been to any of the certs, which should I go to first:
The Assessment Cert?

Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks Dawgs

First time with more than 200lbs in over two months because of my back. Felt really good to go heavy again, even though my PR is still far from where it should be given my size. 435 is my all time PR, and I got 415 up after about two minutes rest following the 405.
Michael -
ReplyDeleteIn regards to your OPT CCP question... I would start with assessment and then do programming. Programming builds on assessment. They are all super valuable and I recommend doing as many as you can, but I would start with those 2 in that order.

ReplyDelete(335/350/355/355/360/365/370/370/370/370) My form was horrific on the last two sets. I am STILL figuring out how to get my hamstrings full loaded before pulling. When I do it right the weight feels so easy, but I have a hard time repeating it set after set.
I am the proud owner of weight lifting chain. So the only thing left on my shopping list is an airdyne. I am gonna get so freakin strong!
On a side note: I have 120 feet of 1/2" chain left over! It weighs just shy of 3lbs/ft. I have it cut into 10' pieces. If anyone here is interested in buying some, let me know. I am pretty sure that I can beat any price for 1/2" chain.

Old PR was 365, fails were all due to loss of midline. If I wanted to train for a higher deadlift I think heavy good mornings would produce the most results in the shortest time.

1925 after 6 rounds of deadlifts
ReplyDeleteRip from pullups the other day opened up and didnt feel like making it worse, switched to backsquat.
920 for 4 singles of backsquat (225, 245, 225, 225)
- I find my backsquat to be extremely week, can almost front squat as much as back.

Ecstatic. This programming is awesome!
Today was my first day back since the Games. I took a month off from any kind of intense exercise. I was part of the Fort Vancouver affiliate team. We took first place and it was an amazing experince. I followed OPT Big Dawg stuff leading up to sectionals. I believe is gave me an excellent strength base and refined many of my skills. Then I spent some time working with my team of course, and Scott Hagnes who is doing the OPT cert to work on weaknesses, etc. I am extremely greatful to all the help I recived in my quest for the Games. Thank you OPT.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to be back running with the Pack. It felt wonderful to hit the gym again. I was salivating when I saw these deadlifts posted...

ReplyDeleteI was super excited to DL but felt some tenderness/funniness on my lower right side when I started warming up. So instead, I did 10 sets of 3 at 55% (165lbs) with 90s rest between sets.

ReplyDeleteAt our box, the little joke is that the limiting factor in my jerk will be my deadlift.
Score: 3130
ReplyDeleteWent better than I thought it would.

Lisa M: Thank you! I have a background in powerlifting as a result my deadlift is my strongest lift. I look forward to seeing your posts around. Have fun with the Oly training. That's a really smart idea to take some time to boost them. I know my Oly lifts could afford to get a bit stronger too. Keep me updated on how your Oly lifting phase goes.
