Training:
A. 2 mid hang muscle snatch + 2 snatch balance; 2.2 x 5; rest 2:30
(add weight form last week)
B. Power Snatch + Mid Hang Snatch - 70%; 1.1 x 5; rest 3 min
(% of higher max (snatch or power snatch))
C. 2 Snatch Push Press + 2 OHS; 2.2 x 4; rest 3 min
(2 sec hold at top of each press; 2 sec hold at bottom of each OHS; should be considerably heavier than last week - fewer reps!)

post loads and notes to comments
on Friday, take in 2 x the amount of total carbs you usually eat, keep protein and fats moderate to low; save a larger carb portioned meal for the PM meal; then competition meal prep on Saturday as if it was "the" test; lets see how she goes and get some feedback - test on Saturday

  1. James i had additional CHO intake the day before my last 2 comps. Worked really well when compared to how i've been in the past; after 3-4 workouts i usually cramp but not with the CHO loading. Recovery the following day was also a lot better.

    For me: starch/glucose type CHO worked best. Also most of it was consumed in the later portion of the day.

    Had a hard time today, still head ache from caffeine withdrawel here on day 3 and feel like crap.
    So, weight displayed it - nothing moved as surposed to.

    Didn't see the carb until 1pm (when I get the post anyway) so have tried to add on, but am stuck with ice cream in house - what a shame!!!

    OHSQ felt really good. Surprised that rep 1 actually felt light to get going even after 2-3 secs in bottom.

    Soren, I also quit coffein for awhile (no coffee for 9 days now) and I only experience withdrawals for 3 days, with day 3 being the far worst - hang in there.

    Make-up post from 9.2

    Got to CF South Brooklyn last night and didn't want to rock the boat on my first day, especially since they had a big class, so did their WOD.

    Bar Dips--3x max reps with 20lbs: 19, 14,10
    100 Burpees for time: 6:09

    Talked to the owner afterward and he was awesome about letting me do this programming during the morning classes, so...

    Today:
    Made-up part B from yesterday (all power cleans):
    185*4, 200*4, 215*4--255 (tied PR from last week), 265 (f on jerk), 270 (PR, f on jerk--stopped here for time)

    9/3
    A. 95*2, 105*2, 115
    B. 145
    C. 155, 165, 175, 185

    Had to cut the rest down because I took so long on the C&J. C was very hard. Still struggling to bring my gains in the jerk together with the clean.

    Felt good today. A little rushed with the warm up but still got in a solid WOD. My MHang Sn. felt way better than my PSn. OH was ok, shoulders kinda felt it.

    Unlikely able to train tomorrow. In Niagara Falls for the weekend for baseball. Hope to do something though.

    Good luck tomorrow everyone!

  15. For anyone in the Edmonton area on the 25th, there will be a few of us getting together for the competition. None of us have our own box so there may be gym drop in rates $8(trying to wrangle up some passes), but we will have all the gear.

    Coach,
    You think it'd be ok to add in like 3 x 8-10 on GH Raise or Romanian Dead Lift a couple times/week.
    My dead lift and hamstring strength seemed to really going up last year when we were doing a lot of these and that is still my limiting weakness on the O-Lifts I feel.

    Or would this be too much on the body for recovery?

    Started too high on C. Was really stubborn and waited too late to take down. Having trouble sitting back/chest up...I tend to come out of that bottom position with hips first is opposed to pushing the bar up with consistent back position. Still weak here.

  37. Today's WOD:

    B: 95 - this felt heavy today for some reason. Delts cooked when done.
    C: 95/105/115/120(1f) - Got tough to hold up at 115. Dumped last OHS forward as I went down. OHS still felt much better than last week.

    Muscle snatch still little slow and awkward.

    Part B felt good, lots of height on the bar.

    Part C was hard just due to shoulder fatigue

    Notes: My shoulders were toast for the PP and the OHS. My OHS are terrible, definitely a weakness. Last week I wasn't really able to hold the 2 second count at 180, this time I did. So that's some improvement, but still over-all disappointed.

    Went to chiropractor and got adjusted today. Snatches did not feel smooth as hips were still tentative. Back got a lot better towards end of workout with foam rolling. Should be a non issue tomorrow.

    C went really well as I got full extension on press. Hardly used any arms when locking out. After watching video and adjusting my arm/grip..made a big difference on not fatiguing my arms. OHS were stable and I drove up better leading with the bar.

  51. Hitting this one later than I wanted to. Slept in this morning.

    B. 135 all sets
    C. 135 all sets. Definitely could have increased the weight.

    I've been playing around with training times and warm up length lately. Due to my work schedule and the time I spend with my daughter, I can either train before 0700 or after 1900. I feel stronger in the evening but I can't take advantage of the post WOD feeding window, however I feel that training in the early morning allows me to do the exact opposite. Incidentally, I've been feeling stronger with a shorter warmup. Thoughts?

    Notes: Shoulders painful in OH position again. This has been an issue for approx 1 week now. OH has always been a strong point for me, very frustrating. Felt weak and painful on PP especially today. Made 205 easily last week for 3 reps. OH squats easy. Feels fine once I'm locked out, getting there hurts.

  54. So, today was form work. My body is aching too much.

    A.45
    B.65
    C.65

    OHS 65x5,5,5,5

    I have struggled with OHS since the beginning. My shoulder flexibility is limited (I have been working on them using the mobilitywod site). Things are also hurting more than they should, diet is changing and hopefully that will help. I am happy with my OHS in the last sets. They were strong and felt good, working on the deep squat and arms behind the frontal plain.

    Thanks, I will keep working on things

    I eased off on the weight just a bit because I did the workout at a public gym....barefooted and without bumpers. Still challenging nonetheless. Wasn't sure if the midhang snatch was a power snatch so I power snatched the first 2 and squat snatched the last 3.

    My wrists were begging for mercy after part C.
