| when in Rome... |
Training:
A. Build to a tough 1 in the back squat - high bar @ 40X0
rest 10 min
B. Take 85% of this score and perform AMRAP @ 40X0
(the X in this amrap test is intent and not speed, weight may just get there but NO rest at top and adhere to lowering speed)
rest 10 min
C. DB Split Squat @ 3010; amrap/leg @ 1/3 BWT per hand with DB's -1 set per leg; rest 2 min b/t legs
(warm up to get to this weight by performing a few reps before hand with increasing loads)
D. Sorensen test - amsap - 1 attempt
(get into your back extension machine, tuck chin in, cross hands at chest elbows pointing down and hold the static position for as long as possible WITHOUT lowering from the table top position at top)

Plan on a 20 min Z1 run after work, trying to get my legs used to running.
All of Bear's vids inspired me to make one of the the new Edmonton Wolpack.......Big Dawgs Edmonton Chapter sounds to much like a bike gang.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu9F84iTooI
curt, rear foot elevated on soft bench, and extension position although the sit up version might be fun sometime as well, you try that one after the sorensen and let me know how long it took,,

These tests makes me hope for something that will increase strength in my legs. God knows I could need that... VERY much weaker, or less coordinated/balanced, with left leg forward in those bulgarian splits.

Still new to high bar back squat and that tempo was tough.
Going ass to ankles makes me realize how weak my hips are having just done low bar BS breaking parallel. Also, still trying to learn that good stretch reflex going that low.
High bar BS seems too close to front squat. Don't know if anyone else is struggling with this learning curve.
Hey,
ReplyDeleteI have really liked this programming as a compliment to mainsite, but I still understand very little of the abbreviations and numerics used. Could someone please explain todays workout as simply as possible (like for instance what does 40x0 or 3010 mean?)
Best regards
Sten
Heavy Evy, that video was great. Thanks for putting that together. It was good for me to see it, I was definitely cheating on some reps. Mather's course obviously paid off for you, your snatches look smooth and effortless. You definitely had some more left in you.

**Had to bow out of last phase after about 4 weeks, hip and low back issues, switched to rehab exercises. Hoping I can hang in this phase.
Everything felt good on the joints today except the split squat...still need to watch the lumbar extension, especially on the right side.
If anyone has any tips, that would be great.

Cramp in left foot halted me on right leg split squat. Screwed up and didn't have any rest between A and B or B and C. Burning on Sorensen and maybe could have kept going but gave in to the pain.
I have a new guest in my garage gym that moved to my neighborhood to train together on Big Dawgs. We will be training very early in the AM on days we are on shift. Should be awesome! Renton Big Dawgs Ouuu!

Coach,
I have been following the Big Dawg site since about January and I have had excellent returns. Thank you for this. Just recently in the last four weeks I stepped away from the site to train a 12 week program for Canadian Special Forces selection (JTF2). The program has a fairly decent volume and a lot of endurance training. Just today I went to a JTF2 recruiting drive and was told flat out by them to stop the 12 week program. It is too early to start. It is meant to be done once. Their advice is to start the package in January (selection is April-May time frame) and to peak just before and come into it rested. Also he said that he can see the guys that only do Crossfit and they tend to fail and are done by the end of the first day of selection. So this leaves me at a loss for the direction to go with for my training. Do I jump back into the next cycle of Big Dawgs and carry on or start my own programming? I can forward the fitness test requirements I need to obtain in order to go on selection. Also the twelve week training package if your interested. They say that 95% of the people successful in selection complete this package. Any advice would be welcomed. Thank you in advance.
Scott

Legs were toast after the split squats, thought my hammies and glutes were going to explode on Sorensen test.

Notes:
A went 110kg, 120kg, 130kg, 140F. Failed on rep 6 of B. Definitely discovered a weakness on C--used 50s because that's the biggest DBs we have and the 2pd KBs would have touched the ground, plus there was no way I could've balanced with another 16lbs per hand. Did D with hips forward like for hip extension rather than back extension.

My knees got really sore from the split squat, this was my 1st time doing them and the weight was heavy. I will correct my form and work on building that strength.
Yesterday I did a 2.5mile run and a ton of abs b/c i was no where near a gym to work out. That killed me with the Sorenson test.
