  1. Quick question:
    For B., is this 3 sets of 1 rep, or a cluster where we rack for 10 seconds between the singles? I know we've seen it (the comma) before, but I can't find it in my book or the FAQs. Sorry for the repetition.

    Thanks.

  7. A: 85, 95, 105
    B: 255, 265, 275(F)
    C: all UB COVP

    Notes:
    Muscle snatch felt ok, I did 115 but didn't count it because I felt myself dipping under while the bar was going up. 275# would have been a PR, just didn't have it. Going down felt great and getting out of the bottom was easy, it was just that 1/4 position that I lost power. REally happy I got through UB, grip is TOAST.

    Going to Niagara Falls again for more ball. Hoping to still get the wods in though.

    Glad to hear you're coming back McCabe!

  15. The CrossFit Gods are definitely messing with me this week. I sprained some tendons in my left foot last saturday so I haven't been able to Oly Lift this week. It's finally feeling better and I get sidelined again from being sick and feeling like crap. Just ready to be running with the pack again.

    Question to Coach,

    When I reenter the fight should I do this week or should I just hop back in with the scheduled programing?

    C Ring pull ups: Unbroken x 5, 14+6

    Carrying garden furniture with my dad as wu, autumn is coming. Sore shoulders (from inactivity) so I kept A low. B felt really light even though 110 is 92% of 1RM, but I wanted to keep it that way. Lost last set on C when regripping, but very surprised and happy with 5 ub sets on rings.

    Snatch felt good.

    FS - last rep was really shitty form. Got too far forward. Still going ass to ankles, so I'm happy I could tie my former PR when I was just breaking parallel.

    PU - neck/shoulder still messed up, so this hurt but I got through it and with only one rip.

    Last set of pullups, grip was smoked. Aaarrghh! wanted all unbroken. Next time.

    It is not the same as a power snatch. In a muscle snatch there is no dipping under the bar at all. Theres a link to a video on Catalyst Athletics if interested.

    B.285/305/325(got scared when I walked up to this bar and didn't even attempt)
    *stepped up to attempt 325 weight and never even picked it up. Front squats at heavy weights give me a really hard time. I start to get blurry vision and buzzing sounds in my ears. This is followed closely by a full passing out sensation which happened after Regionals this year at 325. Today I lifted with no weight belt and still got that feeling at 305. Not sure how to work around this. I'm pretty afraid of that weight.

    C. Only got in two sets then got yelled at. Finally got a good pull up bar set up to. Its nice and stable and doesn't swing. Need to make it not so slick.

    On the road... will do the best I can with the KB, Jump Rope and Rings. Should be exciting. Will use the hotel DB's and make it happen.

    Came down with a bit of a bug last night, but trained anyways, not expecting a great session. Was happily surprised when I tied by fs pr (245), especially with that tempo. Even more happy to get all 6 sets of pull-ups unbroken.

    Snatches were good. Muscle Snatch as a % of my Squat Snatch is crazy. FS was solid. Pretty good maintain of form throughout. PUs felt like I hadn't done them in months.

  50. Marcus Filly, when you squat you might have the bar pushed into your neck (jugular) so hard that you're actually cutting off circulation. I've seen this happen before. As soon as the individual, who likewise was experiencing dizziness and blurred vision everytime he front squated heavy weights, started unracking the bar just a little further out when he'd lift, his symptoms (those you described) went away. This might just be something to consider.

    Time to get over 3 hundey on those squats, still had some in the tank but wanted to stick the tempo, pretty pumped though. Played with COVP BF for the first 3 sets, but my rep counter told me that only half of them were legit COVP, sound the fog horn.

  56. Anonymous.... I appreciate the tip about setting ip away from my jugular/carotids. I had thought this was a contributing factor. It helps a bit but the problem then comes down to heavy weights. When the weight gets heavy my shouldersg""" end up in the same position every time and the bar rolls back into my neck the same way. I may need to work on my flexibility in the rack position so I can support heavy weight without cutting off circulation.
