Anychance someone can explain part C in part 1? The reverse med ball throws. I have a feeling my gym may not like me doing these...but can we do them against a wall like wallball or should we be doing them free or?

Brent Maier said...

Is the program tapering off to peak those competing in the USAW competition or the big dawg competition, or both? Anyone recall?

Bear said...

A 60 kg
B 80 kg
C 8.7 kg brick

Angelo: I was thinking like the strongman toss the wonderful OPT3-weekend (http://vimeo.com/13820507), but going for length and not height. I had to go for height, because I had to fit into a 3x8 m area.

David said...

Part 1
A. 60kg
B. 80, 85, 91, 95kg
C. Done with a 20 lb D-ball

Angelo Fosco said...

Part 1:

A. 150# all sets
B. 225, 230, 240, 250(Failed PJ)
C. 15# med ball, done for height b/c of restrictions.

Notes: Failed the clean at 250 on first attempt, tired this morning. Got the clean the second attempt but not the jerk..seeing as 240# is my PR for PJ i'm not terribly upset. I got under it but couldn't lock it out, next time. Also, thanks Bear for the help! Appreciate it!

Brent: I think next sat is set for peak

A. 50kg, 55kg, 57.5kg
B. 80kg, 85kg, 90kg (f!)
C. 4kg medball

Failing a 90kg PC+PJ is besically totally tragic and shows very much that I am still sick. Competing next weekend seems far off, since still being sick and haven't been able to do a good session two weeks prior to competing.

No part 2 (accepting the facts), and no moving at all tomorrow as a last chance of getting better.

Coach: how long after a ~1,5week heavy cold you think you need to not destroy yourself during comp (5 WODs at most during 1 day) to let body recover?

I'm thinking if not 100% on monday then it's just stupid and might destroy me totally?

Part 1:

A. 165/170/175/175
B. 230/245/260(pr)/270(pr)
C. 20# Med Ball

Pwr snatches didn't feel great. Pwr Clns felt good, PR'd both PJ and PC so feeling good about that. Med Ball throws will be a new Meathead WOD at my box after today....

BK said...

+
492,504,487,462

Jerks were shaky and kept it moderate. Had to get a little creative this morning for C. Was a class going on so I couldn't throw stuff around. Went with heavy Russion KB swings as a sub. Not sure if that was appropriate! Then did 4 rds of the row as I can't make a second session.

Dustin said...

Yesterday's Training (Forgot to post)

Training:
A. Muscle Snatch - 115, 125,135
B. Front Squat - 255, 265, 275.

joey warren said...

Part 1. 930AM

A. 155x2x4
B. 195/225/245/265 (PR 5#)
C. 20lb dyna ball

Question: Coach or Greg, my power jerk is about the same as my split jerk, should I just power jerk or does that mean my split jerk is bad and I should keep practicing that to get it higher?

Steve said...

part 1;
A: 65kgx2/70kgx2

Part 2

1 588 w (208 m)
2 571 w (206 m)
3 530 w (201 m)
Rest 6 min
4 522 w (200 m)
5 507 w (198 m)
6 462 w (192 m)

Damper on 8, all out. Wasn´t happy with it until comparing with the rowing on the 6th. Then I tried damper on 9 and that crushed my legs. Now I had trouble getting better max, but didn´t crash as hard when counting meters...even though it felt like it ;) Watt-effort sank like a frigging stone.

Curt M said...

Part 1
A) 155 all
B) 205/225/230/235/(240 fail)
C) 15# ball

Last night:
A) 135/145/155
B) 285/295/300/305/310/(315fail)
C) 4 sets due to time all UB

PTS said...

A. 127,127,135,135
B. 175,185,195(f), 195(F) yea I can't PJ at all.
C. 12lb ball. my 20lb ball is busting at the seams so throws arent great for it.

Going to skip Part 2 and will try and hit tomorrows test on Sunday as I am running in the Warrior Dash tomorrow. I will be rocking a god awful moustache and a mohawk. Should be a good time.

Patrick "Phatty" Vuong said...

a) 115, 120 x 3
b) 165, 175, 175 (squat clean), 175(f)
c) used a 40lb sandbell

Jonathan Thom said...

Part 1:
A. 130 pounds
B. 185/185/x/x
C. 10lb ball for distance

Felt WEAK today. 185 should be going up easy but instead was being pressed out - called it a day on that exercise. My cold is better today...but I felt much stronger yesterday when it was at its height. May take part 2 at 75% effort (or skip it altogether) depending on how the bod feels this afternoon.

Participating in Fight Gone Bad with my affiliate this Sunday. Should be interesting. Going to do my best to go at 80% and not blow out my CNS...we'll see how long into round 1 that strategy lasts.

Matt said...

part 1:
A: 155, 165, 170, 175
B: 185, 225 and 235x 2(f)
C: 40#'s of sandbags

1 hour off to coach

part 2:
Set 1= 538/477/484
Set 2= 522/530/484
AVG watts for the WOD = 506

Notes:
A) Power snatches felt good. I had to press out the last rep but got it.

B) Failed on both jerk attempts @ 235. Not sure why I failed there. My 1rm is 250# for the jerk but both times I couldnt nail the redipping of hips to lockout.

C) Really tried to use explosive hips to throw that darn thing as far as I could.

Part 2: Rowing felt solid even after the row wod I did yesterday.

dmarsh said...

Part 1:
A. 155,160,165,165
B. 220,230,242,242
C. 14#

Power snatch felt great. Power clean/power jerk not so much.

Steve said...

i just noticed I put my 500m pace not my AVG Watts feeling a stupid!

brian cilento said...

a.125-130-135-135
b.185
c.16lb ball

Julian Cruz said...

A.145x4
B.205/215/220(FailPJ)/220(FailPJ)
C.20 pound sandbag

220 is a Pr on clean but jerk always seems to be the limiting factor.

Kent said...

A 115,115,125,125
B 165,175,185(PR)195(f)
C 20lb ball

Snatch felt OK.
PJ PR at 185 but still feels HEAVY.
Is being tall, old, skinny, and slow a good recipe for C&J?

90 min rest

Part 2
Ave Watts
600,618,605
605,602,588

Had the last row over 600 until the last 4 pulls. Couldn't finish it, tank was empty.

Chad Walding said...

A. 135/140/140/140
B. 185/205(failed on 2nd PJ)/195(f), shut it down after than
C. done with 20# med ball

Notes: Snatches felt ok but PC and PJ felt horrible. My 5RM max for PC is 205 and today I had nothing. My wrist and knee began bothering me and affected my technique big time. I'm getting more signals from my body to take some serious time off because of fatigue, injuries and loss of power. Thinking of atleast two weeks and I'd lover to hear others opinions and experience with this.

Part 2 with 10 min rest (short on time today)

in avg/watts
1) 712
2) 690
3) 625
4) 630
5) 619
6) 539 (wussed out!)

total avg/watts = 636

Felt ok, hurt a lot! My ass keeps coming off the seat and my shorts get all tangled up.

Sep 10

Lots of snatches, tech is finally getting into place.
Stopped at 65kg.

Almost killed myself at the snatch balance (75kg), fell forward with the bar crashing down on my neck. Luckily had some big plates creating some space to the floor. Something for youtube for sure...

Some halfhearted 1.1 clean & jerks at 85kg after that.

Marcus Filly said...

A. 175 x 4
B. 205/215/225/235*missed jerk
(experimented with some different hand positions on the jerk today. found that if i went a little wider my shoulders hurt much more)
C. 8# dynamax ball for tosses

Back really bothering me after a yesterdays lifting. It felt good right up until about an hour or two after training yesterday. I'm pretty sure my low back vulnerability is afecting my overhead position and therefore keeping me so limited in my jerks. I'm ready for some answers... time to see someone who knows a thing or two about this.

Alex Duncan said...

Traveling for a weekend wedding, back on Sunday.

Hate to miss a double day.

Greg said...

from yesterday:

A: 85/105/115 - this felt ok
B: 215/235f/225 - Not sure what happened here. Ugly in the mid-section.
C: sub'd DU, 1:00r due to distal bicep tendon strain. Managed: 14-6/UB/6-14/UB/UB/8-12.

Not sure how long it'll be before the elbow heals. Need to be careful. Sigh.

Ave W = 657/654/610/626/589/572

Brent Maier said...

39/6'2"/202

A: 80kg (176#) all sets
A+ x1 squat snatch: 90/95x/95kg (209#)
B: 90/100/110kg (242#)/115x
B+ split jerks: 90/95/100/110kg - much better on lockouts and easier than power jerks. It wasn't always that way.
C: 20# ball

Part II: Coming up.

Notes: I don't know what it is but I'm in a funk. Shoulder is still funked up as well. I'm mentally and physically weak and hope I snap out of it soon Not sure if I'm on a low from pr's or the pressure of knowing what numbers I set on myself for the USAW comp. Everything seems hard all of a sudden. *argh*

Stahl said...

Part I. (all weight in kilos)
A. 60 x 3

Part II - 12 hours later
532.9
562.7
566.2
579.5
570.2
572.5

Notes:
Pclean and Pjerk - kept weight moderate - still trying to recover from beck/shoulder injury. Felt so-so but will increase next time.

Part II:
Used a pre-war erg, so don't know how accurate it was.

Didn't warm-up enough, which is why I think the numbers went up through rounds 1-4. Tried 100% on all, but body just took a while to get warm after sitting in a chair for 10 hours.
By the 5th and 6th round, could have used more recovery time.

Stahl said...

Brent - I'm feeling a bit wasted too. Don't know if it's the end of the training cycle or life or both. But I feel you.

Hope you and the other dawgs crush the USAW comp.

Brent Maier said...

Chin up Brent, your funk won't last, good luck at the comp.

Eric Montgomery said...

Part 1
A. 135x2x4. Felt sloppy compared to last week's 1RM snatches.
B. 175, 185, 195, 205. So-so.
C. Had to change to 3 sets of 5 due to time. Threw 15lb ball behind me into wall as hard as possible.

Part 2 (3 hours later)
543, 560, 553, 559, 517, 408 for wattage. Not sure what caused the dropoff on round 5, felt good at the time. Was getting sloppy on form so did round 6 without feet strapped in.

Part 2:
649/649/588

I completely fell out of the seat on the last set. I think lack of sleep and stress the past two days got the best of me.
